The CSA Constitution is kind of the perfect example of the "stopped clock is right twice a day" aphorism. It was intended to create a separatist society in which brutal race-based slavery would be permanently enshrined and protected. And also happened to include line-item veto and a provision forbidding "Christmas-tree" style multi-subject bills.


The Nazis built good rockets.

Just because you don't like someone's politics doesn't mean they can't do other things well.


Point taken, but "someone's politics" is really underselling the Holocaust and hundreds of years of chattel slavery.


The idea that everything bad people did is inherently bad is nonsense. The holocaust and slavery aren't the point of the discussion.
