So you're saying that Davis was no better than President Lincoln?

I made no value judgement about Davis. In answer to your question, I pointed out that the Confederate Supreme Court was in the same place as Lincoln's obedience to the US Constitution. In other words, it didn't exist. That is the point you have been making all along, isn't it?

GOPCapitalist has discussed why the Confederate Supreme Court didn't exist. If you have some facts to contribute, I'd be happy to listen to them.

On the contrary, the U.S. Supreme Court was alive and well and making judicial decisions on a whole host cases. Some went against the adminsitration and some were decided in its favor. To say that President Lincoln or the Union government totally ignored the Supreme Court in the same manner that the Davis regime ignored the supreme court is utter nonsense.

No, the fact that the Davis regime and the confederate congress conspired to eliminate a branch of government required by their constitution speaks volumes.

Who's going to be the one to tell him that we've finally figured out his malfunction? That reading comprehension can be tricky when you are an opininated blowhard trying to revise history.
