Mike Huckabee said the Dred Scott decision denying U.S. citizenship to African-Americans is the law of the land even though it was overturned by the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which was ratified in 1868., The Hill reports.
Said Huckabee: “The Dred Scott decision of 1857 still remains to this day the law of the land, which says that black people aren’t fully human. Does anybody still follow the Dred Scott Supreme Court decision?”
