You realize that B and C would ban any discussion of the Dred Scott decision if read literally? Think about Stephen Douglas’ arguments in his debates —- we couldn’t discuss those either?
- throwawaylinux 5y agoAs I explicitly wrote, I don't realize that because from a lay person's reading, they are written in the present tense so it would not seem to ban any discussion or theory that the US was racist. Pretty hard to claim that it wasn't, surely. So do you have a legal opinion or more informed reasoning that says the law would actually be interpreted differently, and would also ban discussion of past issues?
