You ever take a breath, look at the big picture, and realize how fucked up all of this is?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

7. We are so close to a bright progressive future but egoistic jerks like DeSatanis & Putin in the way

Not to forget Big Money that won't pay the poor and middle class decent wages.

So close to embracing diversity and plurality and PLURality for such a more powerful dynamic civilization.

It's coming.

The question is how many tragedies have to happen while reactionary forces fight losing rearguard actions, like the Perjurous Three on the Court. They thought birth slavery would save America. In time they will be reversed, like slavery was reversed after the Dred Scott decision.

Although Taney and several other justices hoped the decision would permanently settle the slavery controversy, which was increasingly dividing the American public, the decision's effect was the opposite.[9] Taney's majority opinion suited the slaveholding states, but was intensely decried in all the other states.[4] The decision inflamed the national debate over slavery and deepened the divide that led ultimately to the American Civil War.

In 1865, after the Union's victory, the Court's ruling in Dred Scott was superseded by the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which abolished slavery, and the Fourteenth Amendment, whose first section guaranteed citizenship for "all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof".

The Dred Scott decision failed monumentally. The point was driven home in 2008 when Obama won the Presidency.
