You have never answered a question I posed. Do you believe that Taney was correct when he said, "The negro has no rights the white man is bound to respect"?

I consider that the most offensive text ever written by a Supreme Court Justice. It was a statement which made defying or ignoring the Court justifiable.

You never asked ME, but I'll answer it anyhow. Taney was not correct. He did not say that. You quote is not found in the text [*I'm shocked*] The correct citation is this:

But the public history of every European nation displays it in a manner too plain to be mistaken. They had for more than a century before been regarded as beings of an inferior order, and altogether unfit to associate with the white race, either in social or political relations; and so far inferior, that they had no rights which the white man was bound to respect."

Taey is NOT maintaining the position you attribute to him [*I'm shocked*], but noting that for the past century every European nation had done so.

I believe as Justice Curtis did that it was a single mar on an otherwise impeccable judicial career.
