[You, quoting Lincoln's toady] "Considered therefore as transactions under the Constitution, the ordinance of secession, adopted by the convention and ratified by a majority of the citizens of Texas, and all the acts of her legislature intended to give effect to that ordinance, were absolutely null."

A really good example of an overreaching jurist pretending to rule on matters ultra vires his bench, and making it up as he goes along.

"The People are wrong! Long live the Reich!"

The dissent got it right. But Chase wasn't on the Court to get it right. He was on the court to cover his own and Lincoln's ass, from charges of having started a political war in North America that killed nearly a million people, all of them Americans.

And who would know more about 'making it up as he goes along' than you and the rest of the Lost Cause brigade?

Do you honestly believe the rabid, irrational crap you post?
