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?

More diversion. Here on a motion put forward in the Supreme Court debate on Jan. 27, 1863 were the recorded votes of the senators.

On motion by Mr. Yancey,

The yeas and nays being desired by one-fifth of the Senators present,

Those who voted in the affirmative are,

Messrs. Baker, Barnwell, Brown, Burnett, Clay, Dortch, Henry, Maxwell, Phelan, Wigfall, and Yancey.

Those who voted in the negative are,

Messrs. Caperton, Davis, Haynes, Hill, Hunter, Johnson of Arkansas, Mitchel, Orr, Semmes, and Sparrow.

The foes of the Supreme Court carried this vote 11 to 10.
