        @BeschlossDC I shudder to think where Justice Scalia would've stood on Dred Scott.

        @dobrin_greg He was an originalist. Based on his constitutional philosophy he would have ruled with the majority. Protections of U.S.

        @BeschlossDC I had stumbled upon his grave by accident a few years ago. He dies in October '64 & Lincoln nominated Chase to replace him.

        His dreadful decision suits his very unappealing demeanor. Shame on all who supported his racist rise to SCOTUS. @BeschlossDC
