Illinois congressman John Farnsworth comparing the U.S. Supreme Court in Dred Scott to the Bleak House chancery court in 1859 is just *chef's kiss*

[4 weeks out from my book deadline and still finding gems in my own research 🙃]

Text of a speech by Illinois Republican John Farnsworth in 1859 on the floor of the U.S. House: "I propose, briefly, to give some of the reasons why I oppose the extension of the slave power, by the admission of Kansas under the Lecompton constitution; and first, I oppose it because it is contrary to the genius and spirit of our declaration and Constitution, and the designs of the fathers of the Republic, as exhibited in the history of the Government, until a recent period. I know it is now roundly asserted by the Democratic party, that Congress has no rightful authority to interdict or prohibit the introduction of slavery into the Territories of the United States; that to do so would violate the principle of the equality of States; and that party has recently invoked the ad of the Supreme Court, in the Dred Scott case-a tribunal which sits yearly, in an appropriate dismal room in the basement of this Capitol, where one can easily realize Dickens's description of the Foggy high court of chancery; and they have obtained the side bar dictum of a majority of those judges to sustain this doctrine. The President of the United States wonders that a doubt could ever have existed, that the Constitution carries slavery into the Territories, and declares that Kansas is as much a slave State as Georgia."

Scene from Futurama. Professor Farnsworth says to Fry "I'm sorry Fry but astronomers renamed Uranus in 2620 to end that stupid joke once and for all. Fry replies "Oh, what's it called now?" Farnsworth replies "Urrectum."

Fun fact, the Futurama character professor Hubert J. Farnsworth was partially named after Hubert L. Dreyfus by writer and producer Eric Kaplan.

These empirical difficulties, these failures to achieve predicted prog-

Richard Farnsworth fue especialista de escenas de riesgo en "Un día en las carreras", "Los 10 mandamientos" o "Río Rojo", y también el sheriff de "Misery". Le llegó la gran fama con "Una historia verdadera". Su legado en esta película de David Lynch es dolor y luminosidad. @turracinema.bsky.social
