quoting BJK: "To my knowledge no US legal body has ever recognized Confederate secession as legitimate."

DiogenesLamp: "But they recognized Abortion on demand as being a right, and so overturned all the laws in all the states which made it illegal..."

Right, there's no doubt that the old Democrat party of nullification, secession, civil war & segregation is now the party of Big Government "free stuff", abortion, open borders, anti-religion and a long list of other insanities.

The difference is that after the long-delayed demise of Democrat Chief Justice Crazy Roger Taney, nobody took Democrat nonsense seriously, while today, a good many still do.

You are dodging the point. The point is that Court rulings are not proof of anything because often times the Courts are ran by kooks.

A court that makes abortion legal under a 14th amendment pretense is not qualified to "rule" on anything.
