Revisionist history and stacked, politically biased courts do not make a wrong a right.

Nor do Southron myth and rabid rebel tantrums.

The South Was Right, you boneheaded liar.

No, the South was wrong. And all the name calling in the world will not change that. But name calling is the cowboy way.

Were you not aware that ex post facto law is generally seen as a violation of the rule of law and, per Article I, section 9 of the U.S. Constitution, the federal government is prohibited from passing ex post facto laws?

Good God, you don't even know the difference between an ex post facto law and a court ruling. You truly are dumb as a post. Let me see if I can get some learning into you. An ex post facto law is a law first and foremost. And laws, as you should have learned from your grade school civics class, only originate in the legislature. It is usually, but not exclusively, a law which makes some formerly legal activity illegal and which tries to retroactively apply penalties to those who committed the action. Can't do that. A court decision is handed down by a court of law. It is always handed down after the fact. And, if the court specifies, can be made retroactive. Furman v Georgia is a good example of that.

See the difference now?

You can distort the facts with your revisionism and northron mythology but you'll never change the facts.

You wouldn't know a fact if it bit you in the butt.

What ever are you talking about, smegma face?

Your rationality is rapidly fading, and it was never all that strong to begin with.

Bwahahahahahaha.....you appear to have snared yourself in your own trap!

You have stated for years that the South never seceded because it was 'illegal' and then you trot out Texas v White. Now, ignoring the fact that the Texas v White decision was from a highly biased, politically motivated, Lincoln appointed court, it was decision, not a law and now you must admit that the Chase court did nothing to change the fact that the South legally seceded.

Then, to top it off, in a vain attempt to tie Southern secession with ex post facto law, you whip out Furman v Georgia in which the law that was broken to land these criminals on death row wasn't challenged but just the method in which the death sentence was applied. Sheer lunacy!

You truly are dumb as a post.

And you're as dumb as the post hole.

Your rationality is rapidly fading, and it was never all that strong to begin with.

Based on your long history of irrational ramblings, lies, denials and spin, I would suggest that you are the least qualified among us to be a judge of rational behavior, rat turd.
