“The Supreme Court that decided Brown v. Board of Education had five members who had served in elected office. The Roberts Court has none.”
Roger Taney who authored the infamous Dred Scott decision had served as a state legislator, a state senator and then and then served as both Attorney General and Treasury Secretary of the United States. I think that he would be quite comfortable in the company of the Brown VS Board crew with those bona fides. Which shows that that the author’s premise about the current courts so called lack of qualifications is meaningless. This author should study his topic more because he sounds like an idiot which would qualify him perfectly for the New Republic.
My bad, I assumed the author is a he but the writer is a she. I figured anyone that dumb was a man since women are usually brighter than the article would imply.
