There are times when people’s true colors shine through. Today during the oral arguments, six of the justice’s racist traits shined through. It disgusted me how they just took the respondents word for granted, and drilled Plessy’s lawyer on every small point. In some cases the Justices were rude and absolutely dismissive of Plessy’s points. I was the only justice who had more than one question for the respondent’s lawyer. The one surprise for me was Justice Gray, who was almost silent through the whole case. He looked like he was deep in thought, unlike the other justices who tried to throw anything against Plessy, and see what stuck. It deeply bothers me when other justices blindly go into a case, completely bias and carrying the prejudice into the courtroom. Why must I be alone each time I try to do what I think is right.
