Dred Scott supreme court decision (1857) on why it was absurd to think the Constitution considered blacks could ever be citizens

... For if they were so received, and entitled to the privileges and immunities of citizens, it would exempt them from the operation of the special laws and from the police regulations which they considered to be necessary for their own satiety. It would give to persons of the negro race, who were recognized as citizens in any one State of the Union, the right to enter every other State whenever they pleased, singly or in companies, without pass or passport, and without obstruction, to sojourn there as long as they pleased, to go where they pleased at every hour of the day or night without molestation, unless they committed some violation of law for which a white man would be punished; and it would give them the full liberty of speech in public and in private upon all subjects upon which its own citizens might speak; to hold public meetings upon political affairs, and to keep and carry arms wherever they went. And all of this would be done in the face of the subject race of the same color, both free and slaves, and inevitably producing discontent and insubordination among them, and endangering the peace and safety of the State.

So Ramaswamy can hold his own under media pressure.
Good for him.

Lemon was losing from the moment Red Dot wrong-footed him by going right to the argument sotto voce that no black man alive has ever been forced to pick cotton and that no white man alive has ever owned slaves.

Lemon is a lousy drunk who eschews show prep and has been through producer after producer. We nearly got him with the old lady insult over the winter and Chris Licht would love to get rid of Mad-Don-uh, but he doesn't have another low-down down-low waiting in the wings to replace him -- although Gillum is returning calls, Chris. LOFL.

Seems like a good decision now.
