warrants a "both sides" take at this point. The statute at stake underpins the 13th amendment. Supreme Court is a big deal. The case is real. The statute is real. And it'll be on record which members of congress did or did not speak out about this clear attack on a fundamental civil rights statute that a Congress over 100 years ago passed to advance reconstruction.

I don't think a complicated opinion on Obama matters a whole lot in this context (besides, Byron can join the club. a lot of people have lobbed criticisms since Ob's sheen wore off).

And I would argue "Thank God" Byron owns The Grio; at least there's one platform regularly reporting about the case lol. Most of the only articles you can find talking about it are Grio articles, very little MSM. Which is disappointing (although perhaps not surprising) given the serious implications of the Supreme Court's ruling.

It's almost as though Byron's case is being used to levy a quiet but highly coordinated effort (by the private sector and gov) to dismantle statutory support for claims of discrimination or reparations... hmmm I wonder why...
