Slavery and the Dred Scott case comes mind.
“==The SCOTUS is as corrupted as the rest of the govt==
Slavery and the Dred Scott case comes mind.”
I actually agree with the Dred Scott ruling when you read what they actually did as apposed to what Abolitionist radicals and the press of the time and today said they did.
All the Federal court in Dred Scott did was say that the US government in its laws over territories did not have the authority to take a man’s property(his slave) from him simply by virtue of his presents in a territory, that proclaimed under the same law owning/buying that property illegal.
Well that to me sounds like a perfectly sound application of the 4th amendment(because Washington would have to search and seize without a warrant as none was ever issued) and the 5th amendment(because Washington would have to try the slave master for this crime of buying/owning property and convict him which never happened).
The tragicaly of Dred Scott is that the judge was a flaming racist who couldn’t keep his opinions out of his public statements on the judgement, and of course the Abolitionist eagerly translated those opinions into the edict of the court rather than what the Federal court actually did. A position the Racist judge I’m sure would have been happy to have everyone believe were it true if only he could make law like modern Federal ‘judges’ do.
