If this dipshite voted with the majority, he was an unmitigated catastrophe to the nation. That would be service to list his votes, so people do not have to research them. Stop making audiences look things up. It is rude.

it's called Wikipedia, took me a whole 2 minutes to find that Judge Bradley single votedly elected Rutherford B. Hayes (an unappreciated POTUS, only here him mentioned on old "Wild Wild West" reruns) and helped to Un-Reconstruct "Reconstruction" that and the fact that Rutgers "Cancelled" him last year makes me think he was a pretty good guy.

Hey, Frankie. Legal talk is to persuade. If you make people look things up, they get frustrated by you.

Hey, Frankie. Legal talk is to persuade. If you make people look things up, they get frustrated by you. Frankie, can you get me the link to the wikipedia article or better yet, get me the whole article in this Comment Section?

You are asking me to look up, Jules Winfield, now. Not cool.

"the fact that Rutgers 'Cancelled' him last year"

Well, what do you know!

"Bradley graduated from Rutgers in 1836. He overturned the Civil Rights Act of 1875, opening the door for an era of legal discrimination. He also argued that women had no constitutional right to practice law....

"In a statement, Rutgers officials said in part, "The decision to remove the Bradley name from Bradley Hall came from recommendations submitted by a committee of Rutgers-Newark faculty, students, and staff as part of the continued pursuit of its strategic plan that centers on strengthening the inclusivity of our campus."

"The committee recommended Bradley's name be removed after a study of his judicial record. The study showed Bradley chose to use his position as a Supreme Court Justice to undo reconstruction, regressing on civil rights and opening a new era of oppression."

Lawyer favorite, Edward I, killed 400 Jewish financiers and banned Jews from England until reversed after 400 years. But he also killed a million Scot, Irish and Welsh people. He passed a statute, all maids were to be fucked before their honeymoons by French scumbags. It was in the movie Braveheart. His boy, Henry of Bratton, wrote a Notebook, from which 80% of the common law is still derived, a piece of Medieval garbage, filled with supernatural doctrines and dumbass rules, policies, and religious ideas. Eugene indoctrinates this shit into hundreds of intelligent, ethical young people each year, and needs to stop.

How long will Edward's portrait hang in the Gallery of Great Lawgivers in the US House of Representatives?
