From notes on Dred Scott:

Chief Justice Roger Brooke Taney’s opinion for the court was arguably the worst he ever wrote. He ignored precedent, distorted history, imposed a rigid rather than a flexible construction on the Constitution, ignored specific grants of power in the Constitution, and tortured meanings out of other, more-obscure clauses.

This can be said of the majority of leftist judges.

Dred Scott...90 paragraphs to show what rights US citizens had...., and 400 paragraphs to prove blacks were not citizens.
