So what?

[dts32041]

He is the founder of the demo rat party what more would you expect, along with Jackson, probably did more to enslave people and practice genocide that any other president, except FDR.

I'd like to ask Scalia, "Don't you have anything better to do?"

Jefferson is turning in his grave knowing what the Democrat party has become.

"Scalia didn't utter a word during the trial, and agreed with a nod — after consultation with the bench — to the verdict: Jefferson guilty, Napoleon innocent."

Hmm...I wonder why she chose not to be on record? She was there and agreed.
How much money did this cost? And for what may I ask? Sounds like good old Jefferson was in the Hague under a UN war crimes tribunal. See, this PROVES the USA is the bad guy.

[KellyAdmirer]

So this Francophone society or whatever it is sided with Napoleon Bonaparte over Thomas Jefferson - what a surprise! I don't think members of the Federal government like Justice Scalia should be encouraging the use of alternative languages in the US, on that point Jefferson was completely correct.

Thomas Jefferson was a left handed weiner.

Jefferson is turning in his grave knowing what the Democrat party has become.

Looking at our bleeding borders and the endless flood of millions of illegals pouring into our country, Jefferson would probably march on Washington DC and hold both of the two party cartels at musket point.

Didn't Jefferson say something about slavery that went like this. "Slavery is like holding a wolf by the ears, you don't like it, but you don't dare let go".

I expect the next revisionist trial will be that of Eli Whitney, the evil twisted genius inventor of the cotton gin. He knew that in order to sew slavery firmly into the fabric of the South that a cheaper method of removing the seeds was crucial. An unnamed source in the district attorney's office has confirmed that Jefferson is going to testify at Whitney's trial. His testimony against Whitney and as yet uncharged and unnamed defendants is expected to result in a reduced sentence for Jefferson.

Ya. BFD.

[xp38]

Please send me all your nickels and two dollar bills and I will dispose of them properly for all freepers.

[BillSharp]

Jefferson was dead at the time of the trail of tears. Dumb question.

[stands2reason]

Quelle merde fieffé...

[luvbach1]

Does anyone seriously believe the learned and clear-headed Jefferson would be a Demorat today?

[Lancey Howard]

Hmm...I wonder why she chose not to be on record? She was there and agreed.

Who? Mr. Antonin Scalia?

[luvbach1]

Why not posthumously condemn the founding fathers to capital punishment and quiet the revisonists? On second thought that would not quiet them, so founding fathers, live on!

[FrankR]

I don't know what the writer is trying to convey, except to try to re-write history to continually tear down our forebearers in any way possible. There can be only one source of such malcontent and devious behavior, and it smacks of the socialist/communist desire to destroy all things American. They're coming for all of it...the guns, the churches, the unborn...and our forebearers as well.

But, if mr. cutie thinks it's so grand to "try" someone from another century, when everything was perceived in a different light...I'd like to invent a time machine, and try this author back in Mr. Jefferson's time and world.

I wonder what historians will think of our time in a couple hundred years?

Perhaps they will list our politically incorrect attrocities, like abortion, drugs, and other unthinkables today and pass a sentence on us.

My question is, does the statutes of limitations EVER run out on political correctness, or is it just someone else looking for an "angle" to have some outlet for the journalism degree that Mom and Dad mortgaged their house to provide many of the no-talented trying to become Clark Kent and Lois Lane?

[APFel]

Great point. Most leftists who condemn history tend to strip it from the context in which the events transpired. I hold no respect for this PC thuggery; to say it is contemptible would be a gross understatement.

[Atchafalaya]

Go Warren aka Zeus!! Acadianne toujors.

[endthematrix]

Ooops! My VERY bad! When I read Supreme Court Justice and the way tone of the the story was I instantly thought O'Connor! That story of her in Atlanta and US vs International Law.....my blood pressure is rising again, thank you!

[DeepDish]

"Why not posthumously condemn the founding fathers to capital punishment and quiet the revisonists?"

That is the next step. It reminds me of an Englishman whose name I cannot recall whose corpse was disinterred and burned years after his death. I think he was an early church reformer/theologian (pre Luther}.
