Default Re: Politics and the Church

I realized recently that the Dredd Scott decision by the Supreme court is very similar to the Roe v Wade decision.

Both were political attempts by the Supreme court to do an end run around the constitution and legislate laws saying that the Constitution legalized Slavery in every state or legalized abortion in every state. 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.
