Paul Finkelman book?
[edit]This article fails to mention Paul Finkelman's 2018 book, Supreme Injustice: Slavery in the Nation's Highest court, which is based on his 2009 lectures at Harvard, and seems to lambaste Story as well as Chief Justices Marshall and Taney. I suspect that book has several problems mentioned in the Supreme Court Historical Society review that I could only start reading, because it's locked behind a paywall. When I and a librarian both tried to search that book's availability on Worldcat yesterday, the search wouldn't complete, which I've never encountered before. I found a reference copy in a Northern Virginia library--i.e. it can't be checked out. I am loathe to spend the time here reading it, yet I'm also unwilling to buy it because of probable scholarship problems despite the Harvard University Press imprimatur. The introduction and a couple of online reviews show plain errors--I know John Marshall defended a slave in the Pleasants case in Virginia early in his career and gave his slave valet the possibility of freedom in his will, plus the book's introduction I've just read chastises Story without mentioning the Amisted opinion discussed in this article's lede.Jweaver28 (talk) 17:05, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
Fix this sentence
[edit]Section 3, sentence 1 says Story is the "youngest person nominated to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court." The sentence is incompetent. It says that of all Supreme Court Justices ever nominated, including those nominated who never served, he was the youngest to be nominated. Do you mean that?
Furthermore, that he was not necessarily the youngest Justice ever to begin his term. Because the sentence doesn't preclude it, it literally says that another Justice was younger when he began his term. Is that true?
Whatever you mean, phrase it sufficiently. Nix the oblique double nominated...serve construction. Tell us which one obtains. Say either youngest nominated for the Supreme Court (although not the youngest to take office), or youngest to take office.
Yours for a rhetorically better America,
