Justice Ward Hunt

Looks like Richard Dreyfuss.

Hunt was a friend and patron of political boss Roscoe Conkling. He served on the N.Y. court of appeals (highest court) and was chief judge. His tenure on the USSC was mostly forgettable.

Justice Hunt presided when Susan B. Anthony was tried for trying to vote. Today is the first day of early voting in NYC. Women can vote without incident these days.

He lingered on at the end, after being stricken by a stroke, until Congress passed a special retirement package.

A real sleazebag. From Wikipedia:

In 1878, Hunt suffered a severe paralyzing stroke which prevented him from attending court sessions or rendering opinions. However, he refused to retire, because at the time in order to retire with a full pension, a person had to put in at least ten years of government service and be at least 70 years old.[8] To encourage him to retire, Congress passed a special provision under which he could receive a pension if he would retire within 30 days.[10] Hunt did so on January 27, 1882, and enjoyed his pension until his death in Washington, D.C., four years later.[8]

More importantly pardoned Susan B Anthony.

And she was ANTI-ABORTION

While many people are familiar with Susan B. Anthony’s support for “allowing married women to own property, keep their own wages, and have custody of their children,” as well as her work to abolish slavery, fewer know that she also had an opinion about abortion. She seems to have shared the position of Feminists for Life, that “abortion is a reflection that we have not met the needs of women.”

More importantly pardoned Susan B Anthony.

Um, what? Judges don't pardon people.

Repeat : PARDONED

I think a few say, "I beg your pardon!"

[Drewski]

Lies. Those quotes are from an anonymous essay that Anthony didn't write: https://susanbanthonyhouse.org/blog/misrepresenting-susan-b-anthony-on-abortion/

More lies: Hunt convicted Susan B. Anthony, refusing to allow her to speak during trial at all and directing the jury to find her guilty. He obviously didn't pardon her, not being the President of the United States.

The word "person" is a first-grade vocabulary word. The Equal Protection Clause says "person, " ",,,nor shall any State ... deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." A person is a human being. Ask any first grader, scumbags.

This lawyer filth did not know that women were owed the right to vote in 1875. They had to inherit fortunes from their dead robber barons. They had to make money from factory work to get the power for this obvious right 45 years later. Lawyers do not decide on the law, nor on facts, nor on logic. They are despicable servants of power. The rule of law was meant replace raw jungle rule of power.

This lawyer filth shows that judicial decisions have no validity whatsoever. They are just bias, feelings, hanger, which side of the bed, the wife yelled this AM, raw power, wealth, absolute tyrannical garbage. Their sole validation are a few men with guns.

They went beyond denial of first grade vocabulary to self-serving supernatural mind reading. The Court ruled unanimously that while women were citizens, the 14th Amendment did not grant them the right to vote. They read the minds of dead people, saying the Amendment was meant for black males with zero evidence of that.

This scumbag profession must be cancelled.

Mutualism is still lifetimes away. Libertarianism tries to be something, but fails to support human progress.

You meant 'communitarianism" I think,

The Communitarian Constitution Revised ed. Edition
by Beau Breslin
I do not endorse that book or you but you need to use the right vocabulary

[Supremacy Claus]

I am a utilitarian. No, I do not want to kill the handicapped babies. There is a little known experience requirement in utility. Anyone who advocates killing handicapped babies must kill his own first. I could not, and do not advocate anyhone else's doing so.

You don't do your cause much credit by saying such illogical and unfactual things

You say 2 stupid things that any History student sees immediately

1) 14th Amendment was never meant to override state voting rules. Women had that vote --- stupid person--- NJ enfranchised women in
1790 !!

1776 New Jersey constitution allows women and free blacks to vote under certain conditions.
1790 Law passes which uses "he" and "she" when referring to voters.
1797 Voting law is revised but the law still refers to "he" and "she"
1800 New Jersey women vote for presidential electors.

2) How godawful stupid for you to say YOU can read the minds of dead people over the knowledgeable unanimous court.

You are a squeaking cowardly mouse.

[Supremacy Claus]

I quoted the Equal Protection Clause. It is easy. States cannot treat persons unequally. If you do not wish to give children the vote, amend the constitution.

I cannot read the minds of dead people, nor can a million unanimous people. I can only read their written words. These are clear. The lawyer makes shit up to and writes gibberish afterwards to justifiy biases, feelings, moods, and the rest. It is a garbage, invalid, toxic profession that must be cancelled. Arrest its entire hierarchy, about 10000 traitors working to destroy our nation for the enrichment of themselves and of their billionaire sponsors.

The same goes for their judicial review itself. "All" lawmaking power goes to the legislature in Article I Section 1. "All" is a pre-school, Sesame Street vocabulary word. Repealling a law in judicial review is lawmaking. If you want judicial review, amend the constitution.
