plus Lincoln was managing only the greatest crisis this nation has ever seen with the Civil War and fighting to keep his party’s coalition together, which he would need if he was to accomplish the death of slavery in America

Some things never change.

Yes but he said some things about blacks once after the war when talking to them about going back to Africa that if told without context could be argued very thinly that he was an isi so he must have been a phobe too!

Therefore we should demolish the Lincoln Memorial and refuse to teach children about him! Reeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!

Reeeeeee!

Actually, Douglas had come around to the position that slavery, if reluctantly, should be allowed in the states where it already exists but banned in the territories -- precisely Lincoln's position. Yes, I know that the two debated each other over the issue in the 1858 Senate race in Illinois. But two years can make a lot of difference. Lincoln, at least, was ahead of the curve.

By 1864 Douglas had been dead and largely forgotten.

My only question for a jurist would be stare decisis. Yes or no?

Of a politico, do you rule; or do you serve?

This is not rocket surgery.

Lincoln, in fact, after his election but prior to his inauguration (the 'lame duck' period for his predecessor was quite a bit longer, due to the term not commending until March 4th), actually supported what, in complete irony, WOULD have been the 13th Amendment, the so-called "Corwin" Amendment. This would have guaranteed slavery forever in the states that it already existed; and would have, with the exception of that portion of California, already a state, allowed any states south of the 36'-30 latitude that came forth, like Arizona and New Mexico, to also have slavery if they wanted. Lincoln came out in favor of it as a means to forestall secession, which South Carolina had already declared, and opined that the Southern states would have better luck in preserving the "peculiar institution" within the Union than outside of it; events afterwards proved him prescient. Lincoln also, in a letter to famed newspaper editor Horace Greeley, said that if he could preserve the Union by free ALL slaves, he'd do it; if the best way to hold the Union together was to free NO slaves at all, that he'd do instead, or, if the best course were to free some slaves but not others, that'd be the course he'd pursue. Though Lincoln abhorred slavery, his priority was to preserve the Union at whatever cost.

No. What I was saying was that you're a long winded blow hole.

Take out your sexual frustrations on someone else, creeper.

Plus the Senate was adjourned. I don't think it would have been possible to confirm a nominee.

Some things never change? You must mean that Dems are still lying snakes incapable of speaking the truth.

Democrats encourage and promote the lowest common denominator of human desire and behavior.

"Unfounded Loyalty", (2003) by Wayne Perryman, uses the Congressional voting record since the Civil War, to question the Black Americans unflinching support of the Liberal Left.

Harris claimed at the VP debate that Abraham Lincoln refused to nominate a candidate for Chief Justice in October 1864 because “Honest Abe said, it’s not the right thing to do” and wanted the people
to vote first.

Lincoln, of course, said no such thing. He sent no nominee to the Senate in October 1864 because the Senate was out of session until December. He sent a nominee the day after the session began, and Salmon P. Chase was confirmed the same day. And Lincoln wanted to dangle the nomination before Chase and several other potential candidates because he wanted them to campaign for him. Lincoln’s priority was winning the election, which was necessary to win the war — and he filled
the vacancy at the first possible instant.

Kamala Harris is simply inventing history.

As most braindead hate-filled libtarted morons do.

HARP2, I wonder if you are giving too much credence to Kamala's ability to invent anything, much less history.

Methinks her "eggs got scrambled" from too much repetitive motion in giving CA State Assembly Speaker, and later Mayor of San Francisco, Willie Brown, many a "happy ending".

If GEN George P. McClellan had won in 1864; but the events on the battlefield, like the capture (and burning and sack) of Atlanta had been the same, the outcome of the war would hardly have been different.

Thank you for your fact filled history lesson.

"a lot of the delay was due to letters of recommendation coming in by mail as to who should fill the seat"

Today´s Dums: "Yo, why didn´t they just text?"

Hahahahaha lmfao!

Doesn't matter that Harris was corrected and it doesn't matter who corrected her, the corrections will not fall on ears, deaf or otherwise. The radicals heard her and that is that, she said it and it is now carved in granite to them. People like Harris, Schumer, Pelosi, Schiff, none of them care if they make false statements because they know their followers don't care.

Well she probably missed American History and Civics in her education, since she was raised by her mother in Canada.

When Democrats aren't WHINING about destroying the country they're ACTUALLY destroying the country.

She probably has no idea who’s buried in Grant’s tomb or what color Washington’s white horse was, either.

Ed? ;>)

Remember the urban legend of Ed being a zebra?

Color, not name, coulda been Wiiillllbuuuurrr.

A white horse? That is not PC, a white man should not have a white horse.

Yeah, them folks at Candyland would have really lost it if Django had ridden on a WHITE horse.

Heh . . . seems like the sort of banter you'd expect when you choose a pole-dancer as a running mate.

Let's try another true story about Washington. John Jay was the Chief Justice when he was tapped to negotiate a treaty with the U.K. during Washington's last year. He then announced he was not running for re-election. Two other justices resigned rather than serve under another president. So George had three vacancies to fill his last year. The record. And he did.

You mean the Brain Surgeon, Legs Up Harris, doesn't have a clue about American History? Say it ain't so!!!!

Leftists never let fact get in the way of an election year or politics.

"Sometimes you have to adjust the past in order to adjust the future." - The Left

Chuck Schumer is becoming a caricature of the worst anti semitic type.

AOC said they could have had a Zoom meeting back then but decided that it wasn't right. She went on to say this is why they decided ride the subway back to the Capital and vote in person after their recess and a short nap. Definitely after their nap, yeah their nap...'Course I got Jeopardy! at five o'clock. I watch Jeopardy!

Kammir (Heels Up) Harris is an illiterate moron? I'm Shocked to hear that!

LOL

I look forward to the moment, sometime next year, when I'll do a double take and candidly ask: "Kamala who?"

New buzzwords; "rebalance the court" and "court reform".

Doublespeak by the by the left revealing their intent to pervert and destroy the judicial branch when they gain power again.

Dont worry kameltoe, your undercocer commies in the lincoln project will back your garbage up.

An article like this will never be seen if we get the "truth commission" the left wants.

Why does anyone doubt the left rewrites history?... let's review who wrote those Jim Crow laws... for Pete's sake, the demoncrud party of amerika is DONE.

Oops, they crapped on blacks for the last election.

Trump 2020 with OVER 25% of the black vote!!!! Wow!!!

Kammie's Ministry of Truth version of Lincoln's appointment of Chase needs to be filed in the nearest memory hole.

These people will stop at nothing, but then we already knew that.

Maybe I don't understand the math that libs use on this SCOTUS non-issue. So, there was a vacancy when Lincoln was president that was 27 days before an election. What if it had been 28 days? 30? What about 180 days? A year? Why would any of that matter? A vacancy on the court existed. Doesn't matter how many days before an election.

With Joey B still talking his bullshlt about "there were good people on both sides" and with Oblama now getting into the act saying that "Trump called American soldiers losers" - And both touting that "The Russians payed bounties for killing our soldiers in Afghanistan" -- Yeah, there's little doubt that Heels Up Harris cares about the lies she spews daily either! "It was a debate!" cackle, cackle, cough, cough.
😒😣

Why should Republicans who voted 90+% for Clinton and Obama's nominees, wait till the Election is over when Democrats vote 0-2% for Republican nominees and throw disgraceful hissy fits over Republican nominees Clarence Thomas, Erik Estrada, Bret Kavanaugh to the point of throwing a temper tantrum, beating on the Supreme Court doors while it was in session. Good job Mitch.
