Proof That Serena Williams Is exactly What You are Searching for

Serena Williams will have to wait for a record-equalling 24th Grand Slam singles title after Simona Halep stunned the off-key American 6-2 6-2 in a one-sided Wimbledon final on Saturday. Price of Sports Illustrated that she wasn’t drinking, on drugs or pregnant during a surreal incident at Wimbledon when she appeared disoriented and withdrew from a doubles match with her sister, Venus. The Frenchwoman could not hope to match her opponent for power but had considerable success with deft drop shots and lobs and looked to be enjoying herself as she moved into a 6-5 lead. Susan further claimed that the Fugitive Slave Clause was strictly a compact between the states and conferred no power upon the congress to enforce the duty of the Free states to deliver her up to the claimant. The idea of another concurrent power in the federal and state governments appears to have been carried too far in the argument, and, if admitted, would be pregnant with the greatest mischief, and the source of perpetual collisions between the states and the general government.

In 1787, the French Revolution had begun, distracting France for the moment from meddling in American affairs, though its navy was threatening American shipping on the seas, and Britain was still hovering in Canada waiting for a chance to exploit American weakness, and Spain, in possession of the mouth of the Mississippi and both banks far up the river, was refusing to recognize the legitimacy of the United States. Carmack said, “Where Oculus starts building systems that might as well include systems-on-a-chip (SOCs), graphics renderers and things inside ours. Not state-of-the-art necessarily, something that will boost the cost all that far up. But then Oculus version three or five or whatever it ends up being is something that can be use unplugged — we’d have our own Android stuff and all that — but you could plug it into the PC and use that.” An interesting vision of the future indeed. It is unnecessary to inquire whether one or the other is best calculated to promote the ends of justice. As Mr. Justice Story wrote in Prigg v. Pennsylvania, in 1842, “When the Union of the American States was based on the Articles of Confederation, comity governed their relations on this issue.

Two years after Indiana came into the Union as a Free State, a case came into the jurisdiction of the Federal circuit court which decided, for the first time, the question whether the congressional act of 1793 provided the exclusive basis for the right of the slave owner to reclaim an escaped slave. In 1819, a Maryland citizen named Glen had arrested a black man named Hall in Philadelphia and brought him before a justice of the peace, one Renshaw, for the purpose of obtaining a certificate of removal mandated by the congressional act of 1793. Justice Renshaw, instead of giving the certificate, ordered Hall incarcerated so that he might consider the issue of Hall’s status with the aid of a jury. All of the men who attended the Philadelphia Convention, as well as those attending the Virginia Convention, understood that the extradition of slaves escaping from one State to another was considered, under the law of nations, as a matter of comity and not of right. In the course of its consideration by the Virginia Convention, no debate was recorded concerning the clause; indeed, its existence was mentioned only by James Madison and, then again, only in passing.

The absence of debate, again, is astounding, given the fact that the Congress presumed to impose a duty, not simply on the States, but directly on the judiciary of the State to allow its magistrates to assume the role of entertaining the slave owner’s claim summarily and provide the certificate─passport, if you will─the slave owner was to use in removing his supposed escaped slave from the State. Before the Constitution was ratified, the Free states, in exercising the comity of nations, presumed that every inhabitant of their territory was, as a matter of their laws, free. Accepting as true the statement found constantly repeated in the judicial decisions of the times─that the clause was of “the last importance to the Slave states and adopted into the constitution by the unanimous consent of the framers to it, a proof at once of its intrinsic and practical necessity”─the question remains unanswered: Why would the Free states consent to it? “This constitution has been adopted by the free consent of the citizens of Pennsylvania, and it is the duty of every man, whatever his station, to give it a fair and candid construction.
