What happens when a bunch of clueless lawyers pretend to be God. Notable examples include: -- The recent (2010) decision to allow unlimited corporate and interest group contributions to U.S. political campaigns. -- The Buck vs. Bell ruling that permitted forced sterilization of the mentall ill. Justice Holmes said at the time: “Three generations of imbeciles are enough.” -- The Dred Scott case that invalidated restrictions on slavery, while mandating that all African-Americans be treated as "property" in the eyes of the law. -- Plessy v. Ferguson, which formally legalized segregation, Jim Crow laws and minority disenfranchisement throughout the nation.
