The idea in both cases was to attempt to paper over a divisive issue involving righteousness.

The Dredd Scott decision was probably the fork in the road where the Civil war was inevitable.

Interesting that we are now equally turbulent as then.

Excellent point. And judicial activism on the high court is perhaps the single most important consideration for constitutional conservatives.

And there will be plenty of it, now that conservatives have majority.

We have no idea how Justices will vote on the SCOTUS. Governor Sununu picked by Bush 41 was convinced that Souter was a "reliable conservative." Look how that turned out. Reagan picked Kennedy after Bork got borked, and that was a disaster for social conservatives. I could go on ...

Conservatives merely recognize the incredible and enduring brilliance in the Constitution, and would like it to remain part of our legal system. The Left, however, are violently against it, preferring socialism.

If the Senate picks up a stronger majority, and Trump does not make the disastrous mistake of selecting one for his cabinet, (think AG Sessions) then he will be able to select a 6th Justice like Amy Barrett when RBG gives up the ghost.

Brother Ohio, based on your posts out here, you're prolly delighted that liberals are being targeted with pipe bombs.

Really? In what posts does Ohio indicate that he delights in terrorism, pipe bombs, or threats of violence?

Oh forget it. The pipe bombs are only false flags, planted by liberal democrats.

wouldn't it be more reasonable to suspect the Russians or Chinese?

Starting to look like that.

But we'll have to wait for the investigation to run it's course.

But who sends out a bunch of bombs that never were intended to blow up?

Obviously intended only to create fear and sway public opinion.
