It's basically a crap-shoot as to who on their side pops up as the neo-con of the day. With all due respect to Walt, he seems to be losing his position. Once one pops up and posts a plethora of inane opinions and insults, he quickly calls for the others to have a little circle-jerk of celebratory back slapping & high fives.
With all due respect -- definitely a negative value -- why do't you address what Dr. Farber said? He cites a number of cases. He's a professor of law. The president has plenty of power to put down rebellion and insurrection. The Supreme Court said so well before the Civil War.
Have at it.
Taney is not your boy any more. Not -only- did he write his son in 1856 lamenting that the Union would not be dissolved, but he also flipped 180 degrees from what he said in Borden from what he wrote in Merryman.
I don't know what President Lincoln's thought process was, but he may have thought after the Merryman opinion came down that he could just ignore the old fool.
That concept would probably apply to you also, but it is a beautiful night in Atlanta, I have a cold beer right here, and I am having a good enough time watching you attack me rather than address the record.

Interesting comment, seeing as 678 was sent to the sothron circle.
So I'm not the only one noticing this is more common lately. Maybe we should try it:
| Well said GOPcap! Good Job 4CJ! Excellent Ping Stainless! Let's see these neo-feds deny it! |
Naah, not my thing... maybe if I randomly insert dash-marks and bold words, or even letters within words:
| Jefferson couldn't have -meant- what he said because I keep my lawn mowed at 3 inches... Everyone knows that *3* inches will help choke the weeds. |
Hmmmm... that really doesn't turn me on either. Maybe I'll just keep asking whether self-rule is an important concept embodied in our constitution and see if they ever answer.
