Perhaps you remember old William Lowndes Yancey.

"He was elected to the first Confederate States Senate on February 21, 1862. As a Senator, he successfully blocked the creation of a Confederate Supreme Court on states' rights grounds. "

From: Yancey

And as president, Jefferson Davis stood by and did nothing to combat this blatant violation of the constiution. Obviously he had no problem with it.
