Yep. The tragedy is that most of measures outlined in the 14th amendment to overcome slavery— especially the “due process” clause— have been used as a knife with which to gut the rest of the Constitution and substitute whatever lame-brained idiocy pleases a 5 seat majority on the SCOTUS.
The mind reels at the sheer number of present day societal ills that came from our greedy ancestors’ hunger for free labor. Perhaps it is God’s judgement rendered for that sin.
