Bricker is becoming more and more like Trump

[Whack-a-Mole]

@John_Mace

I see people getting upset about this all the time, but in my experience most of the time it goes something like this

OP: [or post in the thread]: X cannot be legal.

Bricker: Actually, if you look at Y court case, you’ll see that X actually is legal.

Other Posters: Why are you obsessed with legalities when X is morally wrong?

Like when Bricker defended the Dred Scott decision?

@Whack-a-Mole

It is the law. I disagree with it.

Same as if Dred Scott were decided today. It might be law but I would oppose it where I could. I hope you would too.

@Bricker

No, I would not.

The judicial decision was the result of slavery being legal, and expressly contemplated in the Constitution. The way to reverse the horrible results created by correctly applying the law was for Congress to propose an amendment that eliminated the grounds for the decision: which they did, and which the states ratified in 1868.

I don’t want judges creating the “right” result when the law is a bad one – I want legislators creating the law.
