BJK reposted by jeffersondem: "“Show us where the word “slavery” appears in the original Constitution.”

DiogenesLamp: "Indirectly here: "

Remember, the issue here is whether the Constitution "enshrines" slavery, and I've posted no, post #107

"slavery was never 'enshrined' it was never even explicitly mentioned, rather it was snuck in the back door under false pretenses, like a man bringing his mistress home for a dalliance, hoping nobody would notice.
They noticed. "

I'll take DiogenesLamp's word above, "indirectly" as proof-positive of my, ahem, colorful metaphor.

Here we see someone seeking to legitimize his views by citing his own inferences.

Some call this “circular reasoning” but renouncing reason is a better term.
