“A quick reading of the decision in Dred Scott v. Sanford (1857) should cause any reasonable person to question the assumption of judicial infallibility, and the wisdom of granting judges the definitive and final say in all cases. In essence, the Supreme Court declared black people inferior and that even free blacks were not citizens under the Constitution. The court reasoned that since black people – even those not held in slavery – were not citizens and possessed no rights, Scott had no standing to sue in court.”
