The Morrill Act was by definition protectionist

But was it unconstitutional, that was the original question.

I'm not sure what to expect next from you in this little charade, but I have no doubt it will be amusing.

The amusement will all be on my side. You may continue to make an ass out of yourself, you need no further help from me.

I believe that was a debate you were having with somebody else. For the record I do indeed believe it was unconstitutional, but our discussion was over its protectionist nature and the harm it inflicted on an export economy such as the south's. You made some off the wall claim that it hurt everybody "equally" and then tried to deny it was protectionist all together. Both claims were wrong, Non-Seq. That means you lose.
