Heck even George Washington would ship his slaves out of PA periodically to avoid the law freeing them if they had residence for 6 consecutive months.
And that WAS the nature of the people who wrote that they were going to " establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity". They were talking about themselves. Not blacks or native americans or women.
Stamping your feet and shouting "but" doesn't change any of that....or the argument that if it's not in the Constitution then it's not a right for everyone...just in the states that allow it.
If you believe our rights are given by some higher power than there shouldn't be any laws taking away those rights.
And nothing I said will change anything, from the perfectly legal decision made by the SC to you opinion. But they are still facts and add more to the story.
Did I ever say they WEREN"T flawed individuals???? Didn't think so.... and again, if there shouldn't be laws taking away rights, then vote out the state representatives who pass such laws, or better yet, amend the Constitution. Just don't pretend something is in there that isn't.
