Dred Scott, Politics, and the “Living” Constitution

In a 2022 article titled “Will the U.S. Supreme Court ever get around to overruling the shame of Dred Scott?” the surprising proposition is advanced that the1857 Dred Scott case is “still precedent” in the United States, and that “racist lawyers and racist judges can (blatantly or discreetly) rely on it in their arguments and rulings.” Like President Biden’s Antilynching Act of 2021, we are asked to believe that the injustices of past centuries are...
