Repubs want to go back to pre-1857. Or pre-1803.

If they don't want to consider race, gender, sexual orientation, or any other non-changeable characteristic in a Supreme Court case, they will have to go back to before Dred Scott.

Dred Scott was about a slave. That is considering 3 conditions: 1)slavery; 2)race; 3)condition of servitude due to geographical location.


They want to go back to rule by property-owning white males.

Or they want to go back to pre-Marbury v. Madison (1803), which states the concept of judicial review.

:wtf:

1. Depends on the Republican. Some of them are fine with Blacks and Hispanics

So long as they are good Dominionist Conservatives.

2. I got the impression they'd prefer to go back pre-1215.

3. Oh yeah the Magna Charta.

Keep the serfs down.

4. Pre-Marbury would mean just have the Supreme Court explain what the law means

and that's it. Not interpret. More or less correcting bad grammar and writing style of the legislators.

5. They want to turn back the Enlightenment and the Renaissance.

They want to forget the idea of inalienable rights and such as expressed by Rousseau.
