Kind of OT, but it's funny they liken it to straightening the Tower of Pisa. The Tower's tilt was partially reversed and stabilized about 20 years ago.

The Bible condones slavery. And many slave holders invoked the Bible to justify slavery.

From Frederick Douglas' first autobiography:

Were I to be again reduced to the chains of slavery, next to that enslavement, I should regard being the slave of a religious master the greatest calamity that could befall me. For of all slaveholders with whom I have ever met, religious slaveholders are the worst. I have ever found them the meanest and basest, the most cruel and cowardly, of all others.

Full blown de jure chattel slavery? Yes, I would be surprised.

Slavery didn't end because people realized it was bad. They always knew that. It ended because of the industrial revolution.

Of course it's a Republican. Really scraping the bottom of the culture war barrel now.

Congress has no oversight of state prosecutors. Jordan is using his position of power and trust to pervert the course of justice. This is blatant obstruction of justice.
