And ineffective. When they teach this period in three generations Ruth gets a pat on the back but for my and your lifetime this is a permanent activist conservative partisan court, which will rule against moderate and left wing legislation until a crisis packing or DWI crash by our boy Kavanaugh.

then they should also teach Dred Scott. By 7-2, the Supreme Court in 1857 found that neither Scott, his wife, nor any other person of African ancestry could claim citizenship in the United States. So a massive war, followed by the Fourteenth Amendment in 1868, was required to restore basic sanity.

Dred Scott was decided based in political rather than fundamental (Constitutional and basic human rights) reasoning.
