No, he didn't, and no it wasn't.
"even Lincon knew..."
What a nonsensical comment to make.
Walt
So your position is that Lincoln viewed the Union as being held by coersion from its inception?
All you need to believe to worship at Walt's First Church of Unionism is that the constituion was a grand conspiracy against the people, and once ratified was somehow given authority over the instrument of it's creation. There's also the matter of words used in the document not meaning what they really say, "perfect" being "perpetual" and so on. Not all of us have the sort of abilities that you have - mind reading people who have been dead for 150 years or so - so we rely on the text itself.
You may want to look at your refutations of constitutional questions. Is it telling to you that you never use the constitution itself as a source? It certainly is to me.
And you call my commentary nonsense?
