Well, you were a busy little beaver last night.
But-Why don't you demostrate that Lincoln had NO reservations over endorsing this amendment.
That ought to keep you busy for a while.
Oh, and can you 'cite'your specifics?
Thanks.
Walt
I merely responded to that which you posted.
But-Why don't you demostrate that Lincoln had NO reservations over endorsing this amendment.
"To avoid misconstruction of what I have said, I depart from my purpose not to speak of particular amendments so far as to say that, holding such a provision to now be implied constitutional law, I have no objection to its being made express and irrevocable." - Lincoln, 1st inaugural.
That ought to keep you busy for a while.
To demonstrate my assertion? Nah. It took all of five seconds. To demonstrate it to you? well, that is another story as I must first convince you to remove your fingers from your ears and blindfold from your eyes, and that is something that could take centuries. Considering that your condition is self imposed, I don't see any reason for spending an inadequite ammount of time dealing with it, as that is only something you can do, meaning you have nobody other than yourself to blame.
Oh, and can you 'cite'your specifics?
Gladly, as I always do. See March 4, 1861. I gave you a direct quotation. Lincoln said he had absolutely no objections to the amendment. He expressed a desire to see it made irrevocable. Live with it.
