No people who denies the right of the consent of the governed to one people, can claim that right for themselves.

Ever thought of saving that one for the mirror at the next Claremont Institute conference? Lincoln's speeches were loaded with "consent of the governed" rhetoric, yet it cannot be disputed that he denied the consent of the governed to the southern states.
