Why are they doing these in the middle of the night?

Destruction of our history ping list. I think this will be

a high volume ping list. Please let me know if you want on

or off the list.

Any civil war Museums we can blow up?

Should I start ripping up my civil war books?

Although that provision was mentioned in the Dred Scott opinion, that question was not before the Court and it was not one of the primary authorities relied upon in deciding the issues that were before the Court.

Sorry, but I don't have time to debate with someone who actually thinks Dred Scott was correctly decided.

Was not Dred Scott a slave trying to escape through the laws in place in another state?

Seems like it is exactly the question before the Court.

and it was not one of the primary authorities relied upon in deciding the issues that were before the Court.

Maybe a procedural mistake, but still arrived at the correct legal conclusion, so far as I can tell.

Sorry, but I don't have time to debate with someone who actually thinks Dred Scott was correctly decided.

I think this is an example of "Because... SHUT UP! He explained."

No, this wasn’t a Fugitive Slave Act case. I don’t have time to teach you the law that was at issue.

I’m not going to antagonize you any further. I don’t really see any point to it.

My modest proposal - surround the Jefferson memorial with a demolition team, and tell the dems in Congress “say when.”
