BTW as far as I know the Judicial Branch of government is the one whom now determines ones rights as related to free speech as to what can and can not be said especially in their so called halls of Justice. {Gag} Don’t follow their mandated script in court answering with “their truth” not yours you swore to tell and watch what happens. The Judiciary integrity in this nation has sank to all time lows because of the profession from which judges come from.
Agreed. Cruz is my choice but with his banishment from the media and GOPe lexicon, it sure is fun watching Trump driving a D9 through their house of cards.
You win. Now for extra points who’s wife also a member congress was a keynote speaker in the 1996 GOP Convention?
I’m not a Dred Scott legal scholar. My cursory review causes me to understand the dynamics you address, but only enough to give you what may amount to a superficial answer.
I don’t believe the idea that racial relations today could be a lot different if Dred Scott had been judged differently, is a flawed one. There’s a reasoned basis for that conclusion.
Can I say that conclusion is rock solid? I’m not quite there.
I’m not a big fan of the outcome of Dred Scott. In the day with the social dynamic and the reality of the plight of slaves, it seems an understandable and yet disgusting decision.
The limbo the Black slave existed in, was a cesspool of man’s inhumanity to man.
It was a big enough problem, that simply waving a magic wand wasn’t going to resolve it.
Today Blacks are considered to be citizens equal with any other citizen. Somehow that seems to be lost on some of them.
Others pick up on that concept and run with it.
I believe ultimately that the racial hatred some Blacks have for Whites today, exists in large part due to Democrats, Jessie Jackson, and Al Sharpton.
Dred Scott and the Civil War are long forgotten. I think their real effects probably are too in the overall scheme of things.
If the Democrat divide and conqueror clowns, the race baiters, and the entertainment media elites who exploit racism for cash didn’t exist, there would be far more harmony between the races. First of all, we wouldn’t even discuss race. It would be an issue behind us.
Very well said, DO.
When a case comes down like Roe Vs Wade, the issue is considered settled. I realize it isn’t to those who disagree and wish to defend the innocent, and I sympathize with that view. It’s very frustrating.
On the other hand, as other cases come up, the courts look at other SCOTUS decisions and ultimately consider the issue already settled.
A claimant raises an issue. The court responds that this is a settled matter. Unless it is presented in a way that a wedge issue is deemed arguably different, it won’t move on.
Someone in Arizona making the same argument that appeared in Roe Vs Wade, is going to be given the same answer at a lower court level.
I do think the 14th is a problem. Interpretation becomes problematic.
Perhaps the 14th Amendment reveals the fallibility of man compared to God better than any other example.
Boehner’s stunt was basically the end of a conservative agenda within the GOP and ushered in GOP-E control. IOW Boehner is no Conservatives friend. He should have been honest and at least changed parties joining the DEMs rather than being their Proxy inside the GOP.
Thank you. I appreciate it.
Always, friend.
Dole, Molinari, Huchinson....lol
Yeah....well.....when faced with all these legal stunts, My laymen’s response is generally to hang all the lawyers..:-)
It’s been said in many ways and many times before.
Thanks for the mention. I thought it expressed something deep inside of me too.
We’re of a kindred spirit there.
There does need to be attornys, but so many of them? :^)
It would certainly be a good idea for the Davis’ attorneys to contact the lawyers who argued the Printz case before the USSC back in the 1990s. From my reading of Printz, Davis cannot be forced to carry out the dictates of the federal government. Like you, though, I am not a lawyer.
Well though, that does sound logical from my understanding.
I agree with you.
I wasn’t insinuating you were on the side of millions of deaths. I was asking if you were on the side of “the law of the land” or the laws governing actual life on this planet. In particular God’s Law.
No problem, I have always enjoyed reading your posts. You are I where raising the alarm over illegal immigration years ago when it wasn’t cool. LOL.
