So let’s think about this. A private company refused - on principle - to yield to the government’s demands. The government then cancelled its contracts with the company and has set about destroying it

We took it for granted back then, but "perchance greatly their superiors in all the attainments and virtues which adorn, or elevate, or ennoble human nature" contains more wokeness than a modern politician will get in his whole lifetime

On Aug 24, 1869, Ohio Rep. John Bingham, principal framer of the 14th amendment, gave a remarkable speech on “Equal Rights-Impartial Suffrage,” in which he said of those who sought to reject the principal of birthright citizenship, “no greater political atrocity than this can possibly be committed.”

What is necessarily implied in this declaration of the Democratic Party? 1. That citizenship is not a birth-right, and from this it results that the majority may rightfully, in the several States of this Union, deprive the minority of all the privileges and immunities of citizens of the United States. I submit that no greater political atrocity can possibly be committed by human agency. Let the people accept this proposition and they will become the architects of their own ruin. Nothing can be clearer than this, that under the representative system of government the rights of the minority are as sacred and inviolable as the rights of the majority. If the majority may rightfully disfranchise the minority of citizens on account of race, color or former condition of servitude, they may, with equal propriety, disfranchise citizens for want of stature or property, or on account of nativity, thereby, presenting to teh world the miserable spectacle of a government wherein a mere majority subjects to the absolute despotism of their will a minority of their fellow citizens, almost equal in number to themselves, and per chance, greatly superior in all the attainments and virtues which adorn, or elevate, or ennoble human nature.
