It's easy to throw out Dred Scott v Sandford right now - I know, I'm going to do it on the show in about two hours - but it is entirely justified.

The similarities between today's decision and that of the Taney Court are not limited to the tragic societal upheaval each will have unleashed. There is also this. In each case the Supreme Court has encountered an institution rife with corruption and immorality, and decided to root out... the good part.

The only thing that was acceptable about our slave system was that even it provided a means by which a slave could seek redress in the court, and Dred Scott eliminated that. The only thing that is acceptable about our campaign system is that some of our elected officials are not the political equivalents of prostitutes. Citizens United will eliminate that.
