Neat little irony about Dred Scott

[JohnKleeb]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dred_Scott
He's buried in St. Louis. Scott Vs Sanford is an interesting decision.

1. He didn't bring up the elephant in the room...

... he didn't mention the judges who decided Roe v. Wade, and he didn't mention anything about gay marriage. He stayed with the safe judicial outrages.

4. right, does any actually support that decision now

I doubt it. He couldn't explain it though for shit.

2. Then most likely they had coached him to make some remotely germane

and somewhat topical (given the location) comment involving the Dred Scott case, and he forgot everything but the name.

3. He probably asked them who Roger Taney was

Unka Dick whos this Taney feller, umm George he was the chief justice of the supreme court at the time, he was not and I repeat not the alias of Tony Blair.
