Today in History (1862) - The U.S. government forbids all Union army officers from returning fugitive slaves, thus effectively annulling the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850 and setting the stage for the Emancipation Proclamation. On the same day in 1865, the Confederate Congress voted to enlist 300,000 black troops, granting them freedom with the consent of their owners. Lee surrendered a few weeks later. |
Those inclined to take an "underneath their robes" view of the Supreme Court may enjoy not only the Vanity Fair article linked by Will Baude, but also these photos by David Hume Kennerly. I challenge alleged Ruth Bader Ginsburg admirer Wings & Vodka to purchase one of these depictions of his beloved.
There's none of my boy Nino.

I emailed to ask how much it would cost to purchase a print. I want to hang it next to my signed senate portrait of Barry Goldwater.
