""...corrupt hand picked(by unionist) Federal employees in Black robes..."
Really? If you want to see corruption you need look no further than the corrupt hand picked(by by slavers) Federal employees in Black robes before the WBTS."
I don't really see the point of comparing the Confederate Employees to Washington's employee corruption. I was simply pointing out that Washington's employee's were hardly fair and unbiased in that edict, much as they are hardly fair and unbiased in many of their other edicts on matters not even labeled in the Federal Constitution.
How fair or unbiased Confederate employees were or would have been had they decided to take up the same case is academic nonsense. They did not take up the case as nether should have the Federal employees.

"Every president up to and including Lincoln recognized the God-given right of revolution given sufficient cause. Sufficient cause for revolution did no exist in 1860. If you're going to rebel you had best have a righteous cause. The south did not and chose poorly."
Its funny how you expect that the oppressor president representative of the government the 'revolutionaries' wish to get away from should agree with the sufficiency of the cause of their revolutionary movement. That is like expecting Hitler to declare himself a despot and thus openly recognize the just 'cause', right, and duty of any population Jews, French, Polish, ect... to withdraw from under his Government in revolution driven secession.

As you can see Its a bit idiotic to depend the judgement of your cause upon the opinion of the very men you wish to be free of, and would be quite strange indeed should that ever actually happen as you demand it should.

I need not and will not judge the "sufficiency" of the cause which had led the southern states 150 years ago to revolution (convention) and secession(change of government) from the Federal Government. That is not nor could it ever be subject to my consent much as the government of any lot of free men is not to be justly regarded as subject to any consent but their own.

The sufficiency should be self-evident. Had it been so perhaps any nation would have taken the rebels side. No nation did. No nation agreed that there was sufficient cause to rebel and no nation thought that the southern “secession” was proper.
