It was actually about 45 minutes. For example I had to read the original Scott decision because I couldn't remember Taney's reasoning. There is one passing reference to this constitutional provision but he does not really build his argument around this provision. So no, this decision does not stand for the proposition Coke might claim it does.

And yes, I, also did not remember Lemon.






How dare you? "3/5" in the Constitution was used for determining population for things like drawing districts, assigning electoral votes etc. The Dred Scott case clarified that it applied to individuals (on the micro level).
