[Non-Sequitur]

So, in considering the SCOTUS's moranic ruling about racial preferences -- based on their partisan beliefs -- NOT an impartial decision, you still think it's hard to believe that a bunch of Lincoln-loyal yankee supremes would vote on a case involving secession impartially?

Do you think that a court with a majority of southern justices could have issued an impartial decision on secession?

NO!!!!! That's my point.

You asked me: "So you honestly believe that the Supreme Court was incapable of making an impartial decision in this matter?"

You question implies that you think they could. I have no reason to believe that Southern justices would be any less bias than the ones from the north -- that just proves my point about biasness. But all that really has nothing to do with the point -- being that it was a foregone conclusion that ANY matter related to secession voted on by the post-war SCOTUS would favor anti-secessionists. Holding court was just a formatlity, or a farse, depending on your point of view.
