Let’s recap.

In your #143 you attempted to conflate the Nullification Act (which happened in 1832) with Lincoln somehow “nullifying the 10th” (a process you never explained).

In #146 I asked what happened with SC’s nullification ordinance?

In #147 you responded, “Lincoln and Congress passed the highly protectionist Morrill tariffs”.

Since 26 years had transpired between SC’s attempt at nullification and the passage of the Morrill tariffs it was difficult to imagine that you were trying to link them, but very reasonable to presume that you were confusedly speaking of THE Tariff Act (the “Tariff of Abominations”) and not the Morrill tariff (which had nothing to do with SC’s attempt at nullification - which never involved Lincoln.

I’m not sure why you choose to lay blame at Lincoln’s feet for something he was never involved with - why not Jackson?

Deflection, the last refuge of a pseudo intellectual.
