Was watching Democracy Docket, w smart guests. Two things:
1) The #Callais decision is for minority representation what the #DredScott decision was for citizenship & due process (so #Congress passed the 14th, 15th #Amendments). The fix here is a slog.
2) Marc Elias predicts GOP attacking white districts if represented by a minority. They'll claim that SCOTUS has backed them up, which is true.

March 6, 1857 - The U.S. Supreme Court handed down the Dred Scott decision (Dred Scott v. Sandford) which declared that an escaped slave, Scott, could not sue for his freedom in federal court because he was not a citizen. Those of African descent could never be considered citizens but “as a subordinate and inferior class of beings,” according to the Court.

Chief Justice Roger Taney stated in his opinion that the “unhappy Black Race. . . had no rights which the white man was bound to respect; and that the negro might justly and lawfully be reduced to slavery for his benefit. He was bought and sold and treated as an ordinary article of merchandise and traffic, whenever profit could be made by it.”

Here is Zimmer’s article. “The political movement Vance and Schmitt represent, the one that currently controls the U.S. government and the levers of state power, is evidently not on board with the idea that “all men are created equal.” It is defined by its rejection of any attempt to actualize the egalitarian aspiration that was enshrined most forcefully in the constitution with the Reconstruction amendments.”

Ammunition for those people still throwing around the "Irish Slaves" mythology.

"Indentured servitude and slavery were two completely different legal and social institutions--independently horrific without falsely equating them."

#MaineACLU Joins Lawsuit Against Trump Executive Order

January 21, 2025

"The ACLU of Maine is joining its New England counterparts to sue President Donald Trump over his order to end birthright citizenship.

"His order says the federal government won’t recognize the birthright of children born to parents who are in the country illegally.

"A statement from the #ACLU of Maine says birthright citizenship is guaranteed in the 14th Amendment.

"'If you’re born here, you are a citizen – period,' said the statement. 'No politician can decide who is American and who is not. The 14th Amendment guarantees the citizenship of all children born in the United States regardless of race, color, or ancestry. It was ratified in 1868, overturning the #DredScott decision that denied #BlackAmericans the rights and protections of #USCitizenship.'

"The order from President Trump was expected to receive immediate legal challenges from #CivilRights and #immigration activist groups."

🧵 1/2 Today is #ConstitutionDay in 🇺🇸, & the anniversary of the 1858 death of #DredScott.
Born enslaved ca. 1799, Dred Scott is known for the notoriously vile & inhumane 1857 SCOTUS decision against him & his family, which ruled — among other injudicious things — that Blacks had no rights to freedom or citizenship. It took the Civil War, Emancipation Proclamation, & 13th, 14th, & 15th Amendments to negate it. Manumitted w/his wife & 2 daughters in May 1857, Mr. Scott died of TB 16 months later…

"#GOP group claims Kamala #Harris is ineligible to be president due to #DredScott decision"

Nevermind the decision is ancient and voided and disgusting (Dred Scott case said in 1857 that descendants of slaves can't be citizens):

Everyone take notice that this is what #Republicans are

I can never respect #American #Conservatives again as long as I live. I am not being dramatic. It is a simple matter that their ignorance and hatred is sustained and extremely damning

Anybody who gives even the slightest consideration to the argument that the Dred Scott decision means Kamala can't be President is a racist piece of shit and needs to be removed from your life. Cut them off completely.

“All persons #born or #naturalized in the #UnitedStates, and #subject to the #jurisdiction thereof, are #citizens of the #UnitedStates and of the #State wherein they reside. ”

https://www.levelman.com/why-dred-scott-remove-black-candidates-from-ballots/

The National Federation of Republican Assemblies (#NFRA) has cited the infamous 1857 #DredScott #SupremeCourt decision, which stated that enslaved people weren’t citizens, to argue that Vice President #KamalaHarris is ineligible to run for president according to the #Constitution.

Just, wow.

Dred Scott, yet another #SupremeCourt Mess

Congress’s solution was the Fourteenth Amendment

It took on the infamous 1857 #DredScott v. Sandford decision declaring that Black men "are not included, and were not intended to be included, under the word 'citizens' in the #Constitution, and can therefore claim none of the rights and privileges which that instrument provides for and secures to citizens.”

The Fourteenth Amendment provides that “[a]ll persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside”

Even if we all worked in synch, we can't make changes.

We can and always do help, but we clearly need more of the 85% to join. We can't do it all alone.

If collectively we're the majority, then why do our collective politics and policies not reflect that?

We didn't put ourselves here, and we're not keeping ourselves here.

@doctorjaymarie You’re not amused because the #dredscott decision was an egregious denial of basic human dignity or that it’s tragically obvious had #justicealito been on the court at that time he would have certainly voted in favor of #slavery & denying agency for specific groups in America by race as he is now denying rights based on gender? Or is it something else? #humanrights #womensrights

@doctorjaymarie Contrary to popular opinion, #justicealito did not participate in the #dredscott decision saying #blackpeople aren’t American citizens. He was barely out of law school in 1857.
