Bills that "go nowhere" are referred to comittee and sat on, never to be heard from again.

And bills that go nowhere are brought up, immediately tabled until the next day, and dropped. Until the next day comes around where they are brought up again, immediately tabled until the next day again, and dropped again. And so it went, day after day, with no request from the president to actually take the matter up.

So what if President Bush were to put forth a new tax reform bill tommorrow, asked the congress to take it up and sent them messages on it over the course of the next three years?

We have no evidence that was done. The court was never mentioned again in any of the messages Davis sent to congress opening the sessions. We have no idea what context the supreme court was mentioned in in any of the quotes you claim. For all we know he was referring to the real Supreme Court, not the non-existent one.

False. The Senate took up the bill and debated it at length.

Sure we do. Davis specifically asked them for it in 1862, and either corresponded or wrote about it at least eight other times.

Davis made annual messages to Congress in 1861, 62, and 64. It was mentioned in one of those three.

No, because several of the headings say things liek "confederate states" with the subheading of "judiciary system" or "supreme court"
