Bush on the Dred Scot Decision. :wtf:

[SEpatriot]

1. Bush will NOT put up with the reinstitution of slavery.

Not on his watch. You can reinstate the poll tax, repeal the anti-lynching laws and the anti-miscegenation laws - but by God, slavery is where he draws the line!

2. This is why I am glad I taped the debate.

I have not re-watched it yet. But I think he accidentally said something in that segment about the Constitution NOT protecting our rights?

3. I was waiting for Kerry to remind Bush the Constitution counted slaves

Each slave was specifically counted as a fraction of a person in the Constitution. The "strict constructionist" therefore would have to be pressed to a) call for a return to slavery, or b) admit that judicial "activism" was warranted in recognition of the effect of the Emancipation Proclamation.

4. Does Bush support:

A. 3/5 vote for every slave (ie black) vote
2. A return to state control/management of slavery
3. Repeal of the Voting Rights Act
C. Some odd interpretation of Dred Scott
E. Mandatory reruns of "Amos -n- Andy"
