America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

This Supreme Court is one of the most political in history. Especially Thomas and Scalia. ACB seems to have grown a conscience to some extent and even Kavanaugh has disappointed MAGA somewhat. But this guy… Thomas.. yeah he’s as corrupt as they come. He doesn’t even try to hide it.

It’s about damn time. AOC is a hero. She’s one of the best out there, fighting daily against Trump’s fascist bullshit.

BREAKING: Pete Buttigieg knocked this interview so far out of the park that he had even Andrew Schulz agreeing with him. This is how we’ll persuade voters in 2026 and 2028. Let’s go.

Hey

, Donald Trump is now publicly supporting a conspiracy theory that Joe Biden was actually killed in 2020 and replaced by a robot clone. Just a heads up in case you know of anyone who might be interested in investigating the cognitive deterioration of the commander-in-chief.

Trump had expressed that he wanted the King of Norway, Harald, to invite him to Norway. So the King invited Obama instead.

The Supreme Court MUST step in, at least in America. This unconstitutional garbage needs to be stopped before it moves along any further. This is NOT public good, it is tyranny.

SCOTUS demonstrated its complete disregard for constitutional governance some months back by its refusal to rule in Brunson v. Adams. It is every bit as treasonous as Congress and POTUS

That would be the same court that said blacks were not fully human, that killing the unborn was a "right", that neutering men, lobotomizing was accepted, and that a 'corporation' can be a person able to donate wads of green to whomever, by 'law'.

To have those currently writing and enacting those 'laws' be the same ones in charge of enforcing them, down to D.A.'s, is to have given your children to pedophile team of sitters. Literally.

When did they say blacks were not fully human? I also think there is a bit of nuance to what you said. Either way, none of that is part of our constitution.

And if you're using the 3/5ths clause to support the statement that "blacks were not fully human," that was clearly not the basis.

Correct me if I've missed something.

Dred Scott decision. Rather well known. Chief Justice Taney wrote and spoke of his complete disdain for black Africans quite openly.

And what happened there? Not arguing that it was a good decision at all, but it was based on citizenship, still in contention at the time. It was not based on "not being fully human."

And it wasn't Dredd v Scott.

$10 if you can tell me the actual parties in the suit?

DougBTaylor's avatar

Dred Scott and John Sanford. My bad, thank you for highlighting it.

(Time to reread a lot of history, for me).

It is a convoluted case of ownership of property transferred among various parties, until an earlier party repurchased, and then freed Dred, allowing he and his wife, Harriet, to be freemen.

Justice Roger Brooke Taney, the chief justice, who filed the brief on his finding for the majority, made multiple statements derogatory about the nature of black people and their contributions to a so…

State Representative James Talerico. He is making the best point I have ever heard for how damn stupid this voucher scam is.

To be effective, our opposition to today's abuses must run alongside a clear picture of what we are actually for - and how everyday life could be better with different leadership.
