Why bother with "what ifs"? The Civil War settled the slavery issue. At great cost to families on both sides, including mine.

Where it should have been fought is in the country that enslaved their own people, and sold them to other slavers to bring to this country. Most slaves came from Africa. The Africans themselves sold their OWN people into slavery.

So are you suggesting we will have to revolt against the usurper? He and his criminal compatriots certainly are revolting.

As I just said to a previous poster, WHEN do you think slavery would have been abolished if we had depended on the "Amendment Process" to get it done if not for the Civil War??

Slavery was NOT abolished by an activist court. It was abolished by the amendment process. The issue of slavery is about zero defense for the idea of an activist court, bringing it up now in defense of more recent activism is a non sequitur.
