An example of an empathy free Supreme Court:

[usregimechange]

"We consider the underlying fallacy of the plaintiff's argument to consist in the assumption that the enforced separation of the two races stamps the colored race with a badge of inferiority. If this be so, it is not by reason of anything found in the act, but solely because the colored race chooses to put that construction upon it." -Plessey v. Ferguson.

Translation: Blacks are at fault for structural racism.


That is the Limbaugh/Rove conceptualization of ideal justice.

1. Or go back to Dred Scott

and Chief Justice Taney stating that Scott was not a citizen and that he had no rights whatsoever.

2. Here's another: Scalia on 2000: "Get over it."

His bastardship has spoken.

3. Or CJ Oliver Wendell Holmes, justifying state-sponsored mandatory sterilization of citizens

in Buck v. Bell: Four generations of imbeciles is enough.
