Why? This is the man who said that so long as a law achieved its objective then it was constitutional. He saw no need for a supreme court, never fought for a supreme court, why should we believe he spoke in favor of one in any of the references you claim he made.
It is about as explicit as one can get, and to date you have provided absolutely ZERO evidence as to why we should not believe it.
And you have provided absolutely ZERO evidence why we should. He did nothing to promote the court in the Senate, never once mentioned it in any further messages to congress, let the matter wither and die on the vine, just like he wanted it to.
Evidence please? For all you know, one of those 8 other documents could very well have been a letter to Congress.
Here are the Journals of the confederate congress. Davis messages are there. There isn't any other reference to the court in any other message from Davis that I've been able to find. Have at it.
Why? BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO EVIDENCE OF DAVIS EVER SAYING SO MUCH AS ONE SINGLE WORD IN OPPOSITION TO THE COURT!
Oh, and if you believe that this is an erronious characterization, then by all means prove me wrong and quote Davis opposing the court!
And you have provided absolutely ZERO evidence why we should.
Yes I have. Five pieces of strong complimentary evidence, actually. See post 752.
