Dredd-Scott is Still in Effect and the Law of the Land.

[laughing dog]

Oh GAWD! I would LOVE to see who would argue before the SCOTUS for the validity and enforcement of the DSD!

... It would never see the light of day in any federal court and so would never reach the Supreme Court.

I still want to see WHO would try.

No one. Huckabee was talking to the choir, not the Court.

But it would be so much fun to see him prove his bullshit and I WANT TO SEE HIM TRY!!!!

Um, for the benefit of the reading comprehension impaired here, Huckabee did not argue for the validity or the enforcement of Dred Scott. Quite the reverse. He argued that the evident invalidity of Dred Scott and the fact that it should not be enforced demonstrate that we should not take the Supreme Court saying something is the law of the land as a reason to do it. He was in effect arguing "Just as black people are equal citizens even though the law says otherwise, likewise, only opposite sex couples can marry even though the law says otherwise." He's displaying ignorance of the 14th Amendment, a disturbing lack of appreciation for rule of law, homophobia, and extreme stupidity; but he's not displaying racism.

I agree, he is exhibiting extreme stupidity. But make no mistake - he is doing this to gain support in his run for the Presidency.

This has what to do with me wanting to see Huckabee prove that Dred Scott is still the law of the land?

Not a thing. But it has a great deal to do with you wanting to see him "argue before the SCOTUS for the validity and enforcement of the DSD!"
