harris tonight s vice presidential debate in salt lake city included a historical claim by senator kamala harris of california in 1864 one of the i think political heroes certainly the president i assume you also mr vice president is abraham lincoln abraham lincoln was up for reelection and it was 27 days before the election and a seat became open on the united states supreme court abraham lincoln s party was in charge not only of the white house but the senate but honest abe said it s not the right thing to do the american people deserve to make the decision about who will be the next president of the united states and then that person can select who will serve for a lifetime on the highest court of our land and so joe and i are very clear the american people are voting right now and it should be their decision about who will serve on this most important body for a lifetime the facts on october 12 1864 chief justice roger b taney author of the majority opinion in the infamous dred scott case and constant thorn in the side of abraham lincoln s administration of the union war effort died abraham lincoln did not nominate salmon p chase his secretary of the treasury to the post until december 6 1864 he was confirmed the same day a month after his victorious reelection over democrat george b mcclellan the circumstances seem to support senator harris s claim superficially anyway she alluded to lincoln actually saying this was his rationale to someone in her history lesson but she did not attempt to quote honest abe it is well that she did not as there was no such strategy at play here why the delay then 1a there was an election which lincoln believed was essential to winning the civil war if he was defeated the war was likely going to be lost union and emancipation would be in jeopardy 1b lincoln was quite worried about what a nomination would do to his party which had many factions who each had a favorite for the court 2 congress would not reconvene until december so what was the rush he would be president until march 1865 regardless of the election s outcome and the senate would remain republican so he could afford to wait until the lame duck session and keep the conservative and radical factions of his party focused on the election and the prize in lincoln s hands doing so was dictated by political considerations and by extension at least in lincoln s mind strategic military considerations but not as senator harris suggests there is no primary source evidence that suggests lincoln decided to wait with any intention of allowing a president mcclellan to appoint the new chief justice none at all but the most absurd thing about this fantasy is the idea that a lifelong partisan like abraham lincoln and a man who had to suffer through four years of sanctimonious lecturing and posturing from andrew jackson s appointed chief justice whom lincoln had previously blamed in part for recklessly bringing about the events that led to the civil war would ever allow a racist backsliding doughface democrat like george b mcclellan to get within half an inch of filling that supreme court seat never to suggest such a thing senator harris or to allow it to go without negating and mocking it vice president pence simply tells us that the people trying to remain become the 48th 49th vice president of the united states know shamefully little about our 16th and quite possibly greatest president for more on this please see michael burlingame abraham lincoln a life volume ii baltimore the johns hopkins university press 2008 731 736 posted by alexander v marriott at 8 16 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest wednesday september 23 2020 on august 13 2020 i compiled a chart below to compare the united states to six roughly contiguous european countries with a combined roughly equivalent population to the united states to see if covid 19 was impacting apples and almost apples about the same regardless of the supposedly far different government responses i relied on the johns hopkins university covid 19 tracking database for this the global map feature i have been updating the numbers regularly ever since i have started to notice something quite peculiar though over the last five weeks while the jhu data for europe has reflected the recent spikes in cases in europe reported in the press the data on deaths has not only remained unrealistically and improbably stagnant it is actually moving in the retrograde below are the updated figures as of 7 00 pm on september 23 2020 these six european countries despite discovering about 900k additional covid 19 cases have not only managed to avoid any mortality from them but have actually managed to resurrect previously dead covid 19 patients this might make the novel corona virus not only one of the least fatal illnesses in the history of mankind but curiously the guarantor of immortality if you happen to die from it in one of six european countries given the rate of infections deaths in the united states in early august we would be justified in expecting 208 222 deaths at this point in september as you can see the rate of deaths per infection has come down slightly but it is not way off the expectation from the august data point by contrast the 6 euro countries rate of infections deaths would lead one to believe they would be around 253 106 deaths by now with their massive uptick in detected cases now it is one thing to be below that frightening number due to younger people being more likely to test positive getting better at detecting asymptomatic cases getting better at treating cases etc but to have the number of deaths actually go down seriously though the parallels to the suppression of accurate data during the so called spanish flu are hard to ignore here i hope i am wrong posted by alexander v marriott at 5 38 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest thursday august 17 2017 what president trump should have and easily could have said on saturday august 12 2017 we were scheduled to have a meeting today about the status of veterans in our country and the new bi partisan bill supporting their ability to seek the best medical care available in our country but events have superseded the schedule today we stand with the people of charlottesville virginia who simply want to live in peace and make decisions for themselves without being harassed by reprehensible outsiders the united states w hich the most illustrious of my predecessors beautifully wrote in 1790 gives to bigotry no sanction to persecution no assistance and will never be the home or domain of vile collectivist ideologies that we have spilled blood and treasure to eradicate at home and abroad be they racist fascist communist or religious all who commit criminal acts will be punished to the fullest extent of the laws of the state of virginia and the united states i have already called governor mcauliffe and the attorney general and have been assured that they are doing everything legally permissible to bring anyone responsible for violating the laws of virginia or the laws of the united states to justice i would like to extend my personal thoughts and condolences to all those who have been injured or killed as the result of the disturbances this day our rights to disagree with one another to speak freely passionately and openly and assemble and protest and demonstrate are sacred and inviolable just as sacred and inviolable are our rights to life and liberty and to not be physically assaulted by others there is no tension or contradiction between legitimate rights and there is no tension here saying vile things is unpopular but undeniably one s right to do doing vile things that violate the rights of others will never be permissible or tolerated while the constitution of the united states still lives or while i am still the president of the united states god bless the people of charlottesville those who have been hurt and injured and those who have lost loved ones and god bless the united states of america a republican
