No I was quoting from Chief Justice Roger B. Taney's majority decision in "Dred Scott." One of the Supreme Court rulings that under YOUR thinking has been "accepted" and "won't be disappearing any time soon. Nor should it."

Yes, and you said:

"We think they [people of African ancestry] are . . . not included, and were not intended to be included, under the word "citizens" in the Constitution, and can therefore claim none of the rights and privileges which that instrument provides for and secures to citizens of the United States"

And, just perhaps, you should give up the perfidious habit of putting words in other peoples mouths.
