If only the Supreme Court had abided by the St. Louis Court’s ultimate decision... Excellent research here.
The years from 1857 to 1861, with Dred Scott freshly inscribed as “the law of the land,” saw a wave of radical challenges to the power of the Supreme Court. Here’s a 30-part thread (lol) from my research-in-progress on antislavery politics and the early Republican Party.

BREAKING: In light of Biden's victory the Trump admin is fast tracking the Oak Flat Land Exchange in Ariz to deliver the land, & all the sacred cultural sites of the Apache, to mining giant Rio Tinto before the new admin takes office. Media, DM me for scoop/footage/photos.

Provincialism and the ignorance it nurtures is arguably most severe in on the coasts.

Just wait for someone to invent Trumpopoly. Allows you to borrow from Russian banks, dodge taxes, declare bankruptcy, then borrow from German Banks, steal from Community Chest, etc... Watch out for that "Treason" card.

Besides old laws being enforced some new laws need to be enacted as well.

You’re right. Is there a surgeon in the family? Now here’s shabby. But at least knives and the resulting real blood isn’t involved.

We would like to get at least 100 books in the homes of FACE children by the time they go into Kindergarten. Dollywood Foundation Imagination Library is helping with this goal but families need more books and would appreciate your support! #PATCON20 booksbythebushel.com/FACE202…

Sikeston is located in northern New Madrid Co. and southern Scott Co. which voted for Clinton with 29% and 20% of their votes respectively. Probably higher in the city proper. Always good to remember there are a lot of blue voters in red areas.

Hadn’t heard that but it makes sense. What I have read about lower branches is they should be cut off when planting because roots will grow from that part of the stem. Have done that for years and, at the least, it doesn’t kill them and might actually work!

I thought so too when I read it in some gardening column. In other words don’t take MY word for it. :-)

If you have any tomatoes on the vine pinch off the blossoms which won’t have time to produce anyway and allow the plant to put all of its energy into the tomatoes.

Here’s an interesting take: teapawt.net/rorycooper/status/1316…
If I were the Biden campaign, I'd simply ask ABC to air Trump's NBC town hall as well.

Imagine 6 American Muslims arrested for a plot to "overthrow the government and kidnap a governor" and not using the word "terrorism" to describe it.

Figured you did. My comment was meant more for stlrainbow since he’s from Indy, lives in StL and may not be familiar with Normandy. While I’ve got folks’ attention I’d like to point out something else not widely known:
Probably an error. But the Normandy area has some great housing stock that’s worth much more than it’s going for. Most spectacular examples would be in the Pasadena Hills Historic Dist., Bellerive Acres, Bel-Nor and gems like this one located all around.

I was thinking more in terms of aesthetics but I think you’re right. Pools would appeal to those who don’t necessarily care about scenery but could lead to other features which would also provide opportunities for recreation such as boating and would also be relaxing to look at.
