George Bush opposes slavery

In the 2nd presidential debate, when asked who he would appoint to the Supreme Court, President Bush specifically cited the Dred Scott case of 1857 as a bad decision and would avoid those types of judges. While it's heartening to know that our president opposes slavery (I actually believe he would support it if he thought it would help mobilize the religious right), Congressman John Lewis (D-GA) felt perhaps George Bush's civil rights record wasn't all that great, and in fact Bush may be just a tad out of touch with African-American voters.
