WASHINGTON-In 1836, slaveholders took Dred Scott, an enslaved person, from Missouri, a slave state, to the territory that became Minnesota. The law governing that territory prohibited slavery.
No buddy, the Constitution is supposed to protect the people from fuck nuggets like Trump.
I agree with everything you said. You CAN draw a logical line from what Trump’s lawyers are saying to the conclusion that “Trump lawyers tell Supreme Court that Constitution doesn’t apply to the president.” That statement and conclusion is not, technically, factually, incorrect.
However, I do feel like using that statement as a headline strips away all the context and nuance, leaving nothing behind but rage-inductive click-bait. That headline gives no meaningful information, and if someone takes it as literal truth, without reading the rest of the story, they will be massively uninformed about what’s actually going on. It’s a disservice to the reader.
