So. Where does the Constitution say same sex marriages can't exist? You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

It does not have to. But for them to exist the right way was for legislatures to define it, like any other law. Democrats, however, were cowards and would not get behind doing it. The Constitution did not say sports books could not exist. SCOTUS ruled they could. But the state legislatures still had to make the rules on them. I get that you do not grasp how it is supposed to work. The President is a fink. |

That's practically the definition of being a snowflake. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

I thought that was British slang
Well, look no further than the dissenting opinions by the two associate justics Justices McLean and Curtis dissented the majority, both writing separate opinions on why the decision was invalid. Justice John McLean cited that the Court had no basis for the claim that Blacks were not or could not be citizens. Justice Benjamin Curtis, dissented with every point the majority made, citing that there are African American citizens in both Northern and Southern states at the time of this cases and therefore they are among the “people of the United States”. In addition Justice Curtis wrote that since the Court had no jurisdiction, no opinion should have been issued on the matter.
It is interesting to note that four of justices at the time of the Dred Scott case were appointed by Andrew Jackson (March 15, 1767 – June 8, 1845) the slaveholding POTUS. By the time Jackson was president, he owned nearly one hundred slaves; an estate inventory following Jackson's death counted 161 slaves, However one of Andrew Jackson's appointee was one of the two dissenting opinions. List of Justices in the Dred Scott decision and wether they concurred or dissented, and the POTUS that appointed thim. Majority Opinion (Taney) POTUS Andrew Jackson Concurring Opinion (Wayne) POTUS Andrew Jackson Concurring Opinion (Catron) POTUS Andrew Jackson Dissenting Opinion (McLean) POTUS Andrew Jackson Concurring Opinion (Nelson) POTUS John Tyler Concurring Opinion (Grier) POTUS James K. Polk Concurring Opinion (Daniel) POTUS Martin Van Buren Concurring Opinion (Campbell) POTUS Franklin Pierce Dissenting Opinion (Curtis) POTUS Millard Fillmore Andrew Jackson's supporters founded the Democratic party. He is a troubling Democratic Party Founder since he believed in slavery, no holds barred warfare against Native Americans he was against banks and he felt that paper money would corrupt the nation . So who did we pick to put on the $20 banknote? |

Same reason women couldn’t vote back then. A bunch of dumb white men were in charge of everything. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

Does this make him all that different from modern Democrats? Just replace "believing in slavery" to "keeping blacks in poverty" and it all lines up. The President is a fink. |

Sadly, it seems to be the same today. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

SOOPOO Member since: Feb 19, 2014 Threads: 22 Posts: 4156 | I just wished there was a way for certain ‘big’ issues to just be voted on at a federal level. Heck, we vote to approve a school budget locally! Put abortion on the ballot, it passes 2-1 at least. Put gay marriage on the ballot, likely the same. And if I’m wrong, then the people will have spoken. I would not be against these votes on a state level. You’d have the majority decide, and if you were unhappy with the result you would be free to move. But at least you’d know what the majority of the citizens wanted. |
