[DiogenesLamp]

You are dodging the point. The point is that Court rulings are not proof of anything because often times the Courts are ran by kooks.

A court that makes abortion legal under a 14th amendment pretense is not qualified to "rule" on anything.

DiogenesLamp: "You are dodging the point.

So let's see how this adds up:
On the one side we have the opinions of DiogenesLamp, self-confessed pro-Confederate, anti-American, anti-Federalist & anti-Republican who wants only one thing: to destroy the USA.

On the other side we have three constitutional branches of government, all supporting President Lincoln.
We also have at least 90% of all historians.
Last and most important, by 1864 over 70% of voters voted Republican and by 1866 that rose over 80%.
No majorities since then have ever reversed those voters' judgments.

So, let's see... DiogenesLamp's anti-American fantasies versus the weight of history...?
Sorry, but it's not a close call.
