The letter proving the contrary notwithstanding.
Ever notice, rb, that every time you document a point, every time someone makes a good argument, this guy starts hitting the ROFLMAO button?
I think it's covered under "slothful induction" and "resistance to argument/elenchus".
Dishonesty is the simpler word.
The letter proved nothing except that Lincoln asked Scott to have plans ready for after the change in presidency. Nowhere in that letter is any suggestion or request that Scott not follow Buchanan's instructions or to drag his feet in carrying out his orders. Nowhere is there any attempt to usurp power before his constitutionally mandated date.
