Giuliani’s Case and Giuliani’s Message
Giuliani’s Case:
On March 6, 1857, Chief Justice Roger Taney issued what is widely regarded as the worst Supreme Court opinion ever. He noted that the question before the Court was whether African Americans are citizens of the United States and thus able to file suit in federal court. His analysis of that issue is couched in abjectly racist language:
“They had for more than a century before been regarded as beings of an inferior order, and altogether unfit to associate with the white race, either in social or political relations; and so far inferior, that they had no rights which the white man was bound to respect; and that the negro might justly and lawfully be reduced to slavery for his benefit. He was bought and sold, and treated as an ordinary article of merchandise and traffic, whenever a profit could be made by it.”
—–Chief Justice Taney writing for the majority in the Dred Scott decision.
— Dred Scott, 60 U.S. at 407
Giuliani’s Message:
Black and brown votes are by definition fraudulent and illegal.
Black and brown voters should not be permitted to determine the outcome of this election.
Black votes are fraudulent and illegitimate and should not be counted in any jurisdiction, county, or precinct where Trump wins the white vote…
Black and Brown people must not be permitted to overturn the will of White people, and determine who should be president of this country….
‘Nuff said….

Giuliani, who in 2001 was an American hero, has become a sideshow, a flunky, a sycophant, and a buffoon. And absolutely, absolutely a laughingstock.Giuliani of 2001 would look at Giuliani of 2020 and puke, like Lindsey Graham of 2016 would look at Lindsey Graham of 2020 and puke. I hope I never change to a person for whom I’d have zero respect.

@Koshersalaami;
I believe that there has been no metamorphosis re Giuliani and Graham but revelations….
Events and conditions have caused them to reveal the truth of who they are as human beings which has been hidden and obfuscated by what they’ve been as politicians…
In a word, they’re a couple of hypocritical ‘phonies’…

Respectfully: thoughts and prayers to all victims of the pandemic…. His swaggering public grandiosity is a back-firing Model T….curbside as the world turns ribaldly racing on and on.
Here’s a well-vetted 12 (twelve) letter word:

Sorry the little megaphone did not cut and paste. Yet, my money is on concession & recession.
