In 1858, Abraham Lincoln referred to Stephen Douglas's popular sovereignty as being "“as thin as the homeopathic soup that was made by boiling the shadow of a pigeon that had starved to death."

By the way, isn't it interesting that republicans love to claim the Democratic Party stated the KKK and they are the party of Lincoln while they now take the Douglas position that rights should be open to voting? Never mind that there isn't a single republican today who would not have been rooting for John Wilkes Booth.
