And on, and on , and on. Do you detect a pattern here? An organized conspiracy on the part of the senate to defy the constitution, without any protest at all from the Davis regime? And by allies of his in the senate itself. So the idea that Davis shed any tears or felt any frustration over the lack of a court is ridiculous.

They also went into secret session when the subject came up.

The people who opposed the Supreme Court weren't necessarily Davis allies in all things. For example, here is something on Louis Wigfall (Wigfall):

Wigfall supported the unpopular proposals of conscription, impressment, the suspension of habeas corpus and the government takeover of railroads. He opposed any Confederate infringements on states rights, as well as the establishment of a Confederate Supreme Court. Wigfall was a harsh critic of Davis' military policies, and sought to have him removed from command of the Confederate armed forces. His political influence was largely responsible for having pressured Davis into naming Gen. Robert E. Lee general-in-chief of the Confederate forces.

The people who opposed the Supreme Court weren't necessarily Davis allies in all things.

In all things? Or just in some things? And what about Senator Phelan, Senator Semmes, Senator Sparrow, Senators Oldham and Barnwell and Johnson? Were they all bitter foes of his, too, out to deny him the supreme court y'all claim Davis pined for?
