The case than concerned its ship and cargo and the issue of freedom was derivative. A slave sues his master. Ironically, paying close attention to the stipulated facts does not bring the image into focus. It renders the image less clear. That a missouri slave would sue a new york master for freedom is baffling, to say the least. Even more perplexing is the question of how the case ever happened at all. Among the famous and famously notorious cases, the circumstances of dred scott are the least well understood. The facts are stipulated on appeal. Reading them leaves the unsettling sense that there was something missing. Several justices in the opinions written by each of them repeat the fact statement verbatim in texts of their several opinions. And this choice to repeat the stipulated facts verbatim in the texts signals that perhaps the justices themselves found the facts somewhat incongruous because they did not paraphrase the salient features. They simply repeated the whole. By the t

It talked initially about two reactors, the possibility of moving up to eight. We know from our own experience here in the United States, we know from the japanese experience and the European Experience its a lot easier to announce reactors than to build reactors, although it would be interesting to see if a not in my Backyard Movement crops up in iran. That would be an interesting story. It creates a rational of sorts under which the iranians could justify going up to the supreme fugse as 0,000 sentry a rational for fueling these when they get built. It takes so long to build them, they would have plenty of time to do this. To that degree it helps. The other side is the iranians are inefficient producers of uranium. If they wanted to do this at a cheaper price they would buy the nuclear fuel on the open market. There is a glut oist, particularly after the japanese closed down so many of their reactors. But there was a glut before that time. And so it doesnt make a lot of sense for the
