This is the sort of dishonest horse-crap I've come to expect from you. Are you gonna say that Lincoln was now a supporter of the Scott decision? Are you going to claim that Lincoln never spoke about it? That he kept his opinion on the case a deeply held secret? That he didn't use it to score political points?

Well, if I were I wouldn't use a speech Lincoln gave three years before the court decision as evidence of how Lincoln felt about the case.

Non, you're attempting to divert.

The speech does not give us evidence concerning how Lincoln felt about the case, it gives us insight concerning how Lincoln felt about the DoI and the United States government. It appears as though in his view, it was of white people, for white people.
