That must've been quite a conspiracy, non-seq. Would you mind providing some documentation of it? I ask because all the facts suggest that significant dissent from Davis occurred in the Senate and among several state governors. Some even called for Davis' resignation. You see, non-seq, unlike the legislature of yankeeland with Lincoln, the confederate congress did not simply rubber stamp anything and everything Davis wanted. If you doubt me, go look up a biography or two about Pendleton Murrah.
Conspiracies are hard to prove but intentions are easy to discern. A court held no interest for Davis regardless of constitutional requirements. He used the reluctance of the senate to approve appointments (assuming they were, in fact reluctant and if he did, in fact, submit any appointments) as as excuse for doing away with the whole court altogether. The intentions are clear. The confederate constitution allowed the president to make recess appointments. Davis did not make use of this power to staff a court. It's not that he was opposed to the idea of recess appointments, he made at least four cabinet appointments in that manner. So it must be that he was opposed to the idea of a supreme court looking over his shoulder. After all, congress sat for less than 6 months out of the year. A supreme court might be around longer than that.
