Dred Scot had been taken to both the State of Illinois (free by its own constitution) and the Territory of Wisconsin (free by federal regulation of the territory).
I find it interesting that the Dred Scott ruling essentially said that what's not contraband in one state is not contraband in any state. Perhaps Colorado's marijuana legalization can piggyback on that to make it legal across the nation.

I'm watching the Papantonio segment AGAIN at the latter part at the second hour. What will we have at the beginning of the third hour?

I recently found that Texas state government only supplies 13% of the funding for the University of Texas. How small should the support be before it is no longer called a state university?

Thom's interpretation of how the judicial branch should operate would leave no use for a process of getting a legal case from the bottom level to the Supreme Court. I would say the Supreme Court would have no function at all, but it would still have its areas of original jurisdiction. But it would in no sense be supreme, as cases outside its original jurisdiction would not filter up to it.

Mueller's favorite place to pray (written about in "Prophet's Way"), and the roof of the room where the Last Supper is reputed to have happened.
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Never one to shy away from the truth, Thom Hartmann’s collected works are inspiring, wise, and compelling. His work lights the way to a better America."
From Screwed:
"Hartmann speaks with the straight talking clarity and brilliance of a modern day Tom Paine as he exposes the intentional and systematic destruction of America’s middle class by an alliance of political con artists and outlines a program to restore it. This is Hartmann at his best. Essential reading for those interested in restoring the institution that made America the envy of the world."
From Screwed:
"I think many of us recognize that for all but the wealthiest, life in America is getting increasingly hard. Screwed explores why, showing how this is no accidental process, but rather the product of conscious political choices, choices we can change with enough courage and commitment. Like all of Thom’s great work, it helps show us the way forward."
Saints' feast days are, I believe, usually the day they were martyred. If they weren't martyred, the church still goes with the day they died, since birhdays were often not known in olden times.
