It is an attempt to deflect from the point of Lincoln's abuses. Whether or not Jefferson Davis did anything wrong, has no bearing on the wrong that Lincoln did.

Mr. Olive and I have been debating Davis and his constitutional infractions for some time on a number of posts. I like to drag him back to reality from time to time and remind him that he can lie about Lincoln's Constitutional infractions all he wants but he can't change the fact that Davis's contempt for his Constitution were far worse than anything Lincoln might have done.

The contest isn't between Lincoln and Davis. The contest is between Lincoln and the rule of law. Whether Davis violated the rule of law of his country is irrelevant to whether Lincoln violated the rule of law of in his.

Lincoln must be compared to an objective standard of legality, not some other person that may have done worse.
