There is no evidence that Davis pushed for it, lobbied for it, or did anything whatsoever to advance it.

Perhaps I wasn't clear the first time. I'll ask you again: What evidence do you have of your assertion that Davis did nothing to support the establishment of the court? Provide specifics and annotate as necessary.

It was nothing more than a throw-away commment meant to give the impression that he cared.

Again, what evidence do you have of this? I will once again note that, following Davis' call for a court, a bill emerged in the CSA congress to establish one and was the subject of multiple debates there over the next several years. Each time action was sought on it though the Senate blocked it for reasons I have previously described.

Now tell me, non-seq. If Congress didn't take up that bill at Davis' request, then who induced them to do so? They certainly weren't itching to pass it themselves as exhibited by the fact that they blocked it in order to check Davis. So why did it remain an issue and who was pushing it? Abe Lincoln? Santa Claus?

I have not seen anything that indicates he did. Not in his writings or his biographies or in any number of histories on the confederacy. It's hard to specifically identify that which does not appear to exist.
