Wondering what that Dred Scott reference by Bush in the second debate was all about? I thought it was just Bush petulantly demonstrating that, there, he DID pay attention in his high school civics class. He would not appoint judges who would turn in a decision like Dred Scott -- where the Supreme court affirmed that slave remained property of their owners, even when they travelled to free states. Timothy Noah points out that, actually, the Dred Scott decision is code to anti-abortionists for Roe v. Wade.
He was semaphoring that he would appoint judges to the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade.
