@RepThomasMassie@LePapillonBlu2 I warned everyone when I said “We should not only brand the leading rebels with infamy, but the whole rebellion should wear the badge of the penitentiary, so that, for this generation at least, no man who has taken part in it would dare to justify or palliate it.”
@RepThomasMassie@LePapillonBlu2 As the Secretary of War who crushed the Confederacy let me say that a public enemy cannot come into Congress and vote down the measures proposed for his subjugation or reconstruction. The culprit cannot sit as a member of the jury in the trial of its own case.
@Acyn@Ziggylaflove As the Secretary of War who helped crush the Confederacy, I am less concerned with what we call the department, and more troubled by the Confederates we have allowed to run it. A criminal should not be allowed to sit on the jury of his own subjugation.

@Acyn The only War I see waged is against the American people. But sadly not against the Confederates of Jan 6. A public enemy cannot come into Congress and vote down the measures proposed for his subjugation. The culprit cannot sit as a member of the jury in the trial of its own case.

@guitarchitect82@1865podcast As the ship was going backwards, it was likely the fault of “Poseidon” himself - Gideon Welles. For me it’s always only full steam ahead.
Thank you, Congressman Bingham, for drafting the superbly worded 14th Amendment! You have helped protect our Constitution from those who would set it aside for their insidious designs. Bravo, Sir!
