So, you would have no objection if the Clinton regime had pulled a Lincoln and had increased the size of the Court to 30 members and allowed President Clinton to appoint 21 Justices, and you would have no objection if the Congress then changed the authorized size of the Court to 7 members to prevent President Bush from appointing anybody at all. You have an interesting viewpoint on what constitutes a fair Judicial system.
[Non-Seq] The Davis regime didn't even go that far.
As you consider the Confederate Congress to be the Davis regime, presumably you consider the current U.S. Congress to be the Bush regime. Quick, notify Daschle and Gephardt!
[Non-Seq] The confederate constitution required a supreme court, just like the real constitution did, and Davis and the confederate congress deliberately ignored that provision.
Primary source evidence quoting public comments of President Jefferson Davis has been provided proving beyond a reasonable doubt and to a moral certainty that your assertion against President Davis is false.
You have provided no evidence whatever that President Davis ignored the Constitutional provision, deliberately or otherwise.
Overwhelming evidence has been provided that the Confederate Congress debated the issue of forming a Supreme Court but was never able to reach agreement.
You have provided no evidence whatever that the Confederate Congress ignored the Constitution, deliberately or otherwise.
[Non-Seq] They deliberately violated the very constitution that they swore to uphold. They violated their oath. They lied. They were not honorable men.
Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Non-Seq has made another pronouncement.
[Non-Seq] But they're you heroes. You're welcome to them.
No, you are my hero. You are a man of convictions, like William Jefferson Clinton.
And you imbue the board with a Homi Bhabha-ish intellect and generate an enhanced sense of self.
"If, for a while, the ruse of desire is calculable for the uses of discipline soon the repetition of guilt, justification, pseudo-scientific theories, superstition, spurious authorities, and classifications can be seen as the desperate effort to - normalize - formally the disturbance of a discourse of splitting that violates the rational, enlightened claims of its enunciatory modality."

My objections would be meaningless, since both actions would be constitutional. As would the actions of President Bush if he increased the size of the court to 30 justices and if a future Republican congress reduced the size to 7 justices to styme a Democratic president. The Supreme Court would still sit, still perform its constitutional duties, still function as the third branch of government, acting as a check on the other two branches, just as our founders required.

Nonsense. Nothing has been presented to indicate that the Davis regime actively tried to get a supreme court seated. He made one comment in one speech. He never addressed the matter again in any correspondence to the congress, never fought for it, never actively lobbied for it. It's OK with me if you sothron types want to blame the whole thing on the confederate congress. But then you turn around and blame ever action of the U.S. congress, from the creation of West Virginia to rioting in New York, on Lincoln personally. Well, wasn't Davis the head of his regime? Doesn't he bear responsiblity for what happened, or didn't happen, on his watch?
Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Non-Seq has made another pronouncement.
They swore an oath to uphold the constitution. They ignored that. They are dishonorable men. I'm still trying to figure out exactly what the hell you are.
