Hey Doc: Off the subject. How was your Thanksgiving? Did you like the Glen Loch buffet?

I searched through several controversial supreme court decisions and I feel the following decision of the US supreme court needs to be reviewed if not reversed outright. . .. 'JFK Assassination Year: 1963 People involved: Lee Harvey Oswald and Jack Ruby Charges: Assassination of JFK (Oswald); murder of Oswald (Ruby) Verdict: Guilty, later overturned (Ruby) Most agree that the trials and investigations surrounding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in Dallas, Texas, are the most controversial in American history. The president was shot three times on Nov. 22, 1963. Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested for the assassination after investigators discovered a rifle hidden between two boxes with Oswald's fingerprints on them, along with empty cartridges in the Texas Book Depository. Two days later, Jack Ruby shot and killed Oswald.' http://people.howstuffworks.com/ten-controversial-court-cases.htm/printable

Dread Scott. I still can't believe that any sane human being could see a person as property.

The ones I've always despised the most were Dred Scott (certifying that slaves remained slaves even if they entered free states), Plessy v. Ferguson (upholding separate but equal for different races in transportation and other areas), Bradwell v. Illinois (upholding the ban on women entering the legal profession), and Bowers v. Hardwick (upholding the right of states to make homosexual activity a crime). . But those have all been overturned already.
