Honest Abe on the Constitution

"The people of the United States are the rightful masters of both Congress and the Courts, not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution."


ABRAHAM LINCOLN(17 September 1859, speech in Cincinnati, OH)

  1. That's one from Mr. Lincoln I'd not read before. Interesting quote from him, considering he trashed Habeas Corpus during the War Between the States. Some can make the case that secession is not contrary to the Constitution, but that's more of an academic exercise best left alone for now.
    I like this place Mr. Boda. Different enough so as to be refreshing.
