Reagan was imprisoned with Confederate Vice President Alexander Stephens at Fort Warren in Boston, where Reagan spent twenty-two weeks in solitary confinement. On August 11, he wrote an open letter to his fellow Texans urging cooperation with the Union, renunciation of the secession convention, the abolition of slavery, and letting freed slaves vote. He warned of military rule that would enforce these policies if Texans did not voluntarily adopt them. For this, he was denounced by Texans. He was released from prison later that year and returned home to Palestine in December.
Return to public life
To those who felt that the Reconstruction was unduly harsh, his prescience was hailed—he became known as the "Old Roman," a Texas Cincinnatus. He was part of the successful effort to remove Republican Edmund J. Davis from the governorship in 1874, after Davis attempted to illegally remain in office after he had lost the election.
every one brings their beliefs with them into everything
the leftists bring their idea of morality with them and their feelings of slights and , as compared to conservatives, have been known frequently to adjust rulings on the law to fit their ideas and feelings
as opposed to leftists, amy coney barrett, much like other conservatives, is constrained by the written text of a law and how it comports with the written text of the constitution, the meanings of which have been fairly distilled by prior proper court analysis
I'd say there are fewer self imposed constraints on leftist judges
the nature of being a conservative allows for the constitution to be a shield and sword for us all
whims of leftists don't afford one the luxury of being secure in the law
in regard to acb and being a practicing catholic, the left fears a proper constitutional application much more than her religion, though as a conservative she is in many ways held to the stasis of prior court decisions. the left would fear any conservative justice nominee, but certainly they do detest the religious.
and many irreligious people have pointed out the absurdity of the constitutional right to an abortion.

John Henninger Reagan was a pussy who flipped out when he couldn't do two weeks in jail without writing a letter that contradicted his convictions. When he returned to Palestine he was hailed a false hero. 1 [Although Cincinnatus has long been considered a heroic representation of the virtuous Roman citizen, there are some historians who doubt the story altogether, claiming it to be nothing more than a myth.]
