By the way, I liken Taney's court (Dred Scott) to the court in 1973 that said killing unborn persons could not be banned. And even tried to play God and decide when a human being becomes a person in the womb, but I never did see them explain the difference between a human being and a person (hint: there is none). Taney was a BAD judge, just as Stevens, Breyer, O'connor, Kennedy and Bader-Ginsburg are bad judges today.

Though I agree that the Dred Scott decision was wrong, I don't think that one judicial mistake makes him a bad judge!

We agree. The two most shameful decisions in history.
