cjgl-13155	Franke, Katherine; Mar, Ria Tabacco	Racing Dobbs	2024	5	.pdf	application/pdf	3478	125	57	In Dreding Dobbs, Professor Katherine Franke suggests that Dobbs should be read alongside the Supreme Court’s 1857 decision in Dred Scott v. Sandford, in which the Court held that Black people—even free or freed Black people— were not U.S. citizens. It then dawned on me: this case shares a number of similarities with Dred Scott v. Sandford, the 1857 Supreme Court case that found that the drafters of the U.S. Constitution never intended Black people to be U.S. citizens.2 Having spent some time reading both cases side-by-side, I have concluded that in important ways, Dred Scott did for white supremacy, defining the United States as a white nation, what Dobbs does for patriarchy, masculinizing the Constitution as a compact among men.	cache/cjgl-13155.pdf	txt/cjgl-13155.txt
