[Non-Sequitur]

Are you asserting that the President of the United States was notified by an associate justice or a district judge?

The President was notified by District Judge Obidiah Zebidiah Jeremiah Snooks from East Toadstrangle, North Carolina. I don't have a link to that, but trust me on this. It's true. I swear.

I think that the judge later had something to do with all those 'White' cases that made it to the Supreme Court.

Well then, Lincoln had just cause to put down the rebellion!

As long as he got that necessary request!

LOL!
