we don't look at what it says

the very Declaration of Independence asserted that "all men are created equal"; but that term could not have included black people. The Framers were just not that kind of people:[I]t is too clear for dispute that the enslaved African race were not intended to be included,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and formed no part of the people who framed and adopted [the Declaration of Independence], for if the language,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], as understood in that day, would embrace them,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the conduct of the distinguished men who framed the Declaration of Independence would have been utterly and flagrantly inconsistent with the principles they asserted,http://www.tiluband.com, and instead of the sympathy of mankind to which they so confidently appealed,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], they would have deserved and received universal rebuke and reprobation.In construing the Constitution, we don't look at what it says; we don't look at caselaw; we look only at what we "know" about the men who framed it. And when those voices have spoken, the inquiry is at an end.Thomas writes for only himself in Brown
