DescriptionA prominent Republican group is citing one of the most reviled Supreme Court (SCOTUS) decisions in American history to justify its case that Vice President Kamala Harris should be deemed ineligible to run under the U.S. Constitution.

In an official resolution (on page 37 of the NFRA's platform document), the National Federation of Republican Assemblies (NFRA) – a 90 year-old GOP-aligned organization that counted former President Ronald Reagan among its membership — took the position that Harris should not be allowed to hold the office of president, citing several "precedent-setting U.S. Supreme Court cases." Among the six cases the NFRA cited was the Dred Scott v. Sandford decision of 1857, which is regarded as one of the worst SCOTUS decisions of all time, if not the worst ever.

I would hope these attorneys aren't citing dead law in their regular practice.

Man they're just SO desperate. They are literally throwing EVERYTHING at her. I have been getting so much flyers in the mail about how Harris is freeing murders and is a communist and is this and is that and it's just a bunch of lies.

November's going to be glorious (if Harris wins).

Strategists: "All you have to do to have a good shot at winning is to not be weird."
