There are significant similarities between the US Supreme Court decisions in 1973's Roe v. Wade and 1857's Dred Scott v. Sandford.

Application of due process was an issue central to the decision of Roe v. Wade, although that decision has not resolved the abortion debate.

[Roger Taney]'s political opponents described him as a "political hack." They asserted that Taney would promote [Andrew Jackson]'s slavery agenda. He authored the infamous opinion in Dred Scott v. John F. A. Sandford. History is about to repeat itself with Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr. President [Barack Hussein Obama] is naive if he believes that he can throw a wreath to the Confederacy. This gesture is like throwing kerosene on a burning fire. White supremacists will not rest until they see the Supreme Court enshrine states' rights over federalism and Blacks are put back in chains en masse.

Marylanders need not look far -- particularly this time of year - - to find a lasting legacy of the state's checkered past, slavery historian Anthony Cohen told judges and lawyers who gathered recently at a 19th-century courthouse in Rockville. The General Assembly's tradition of meeting between January and April began in order to enable farmers, who constituted most of the legislative body in the first half of the 1800s, to meet without having to worry about their crops, Cohen said at the Red Brick Courthouse.
...Cohen noted that a Marylander, U.S. Chief Justice Roger B. Taney of Calvert County, wrote thhe 1857 Dred Scott v. Sandford decision returning a black man i...
