on a larger screen to see what needed editing, I saw something that, to my shame, I hadn't noted before.
Notice how he put it, Oliver Ellsworth, CHIEF "justice," notable lawyer, jurist, framer and diplomat when he was talking of human beings IN TERMS OF THEM BEING ENSLAVED AND WORKED TO DEATH IN SUCH NUMBERS.
As slaves also multiply so fast in Virginia & & Maryland that it is cheaper to raise than import them,
"cheaper to raise than import them," like you'd say about radishes or lettuces. Literally human lives as commodities, the trade in which is to be a matter of economic advantage for the aristocrats, both financier and slave-holder-driver. Human beings as herd animals and objects for use and trade.
whilst in the sickly rice swamps foreign supplies are necessary,
"FOREIGN SUPPLIES" are necessary where so many of them die from being worked to death in the "sickly rice swamps," the death rate exceeding the birth rate.
if we go no farther than is urged, we shall be unjust towards S. Carolina & Georgia. Let us not intermeddle.
"Unjust towards S. Carolina and Georgia" UNJUST! TOWARDS THE SLAVE-HOLDERS IN THE TWO STATES! IF THEY DON'T ALLOW THEM TO IMPORT HUMAN BEINGS KIDNAPPED AND HUMAN TRAFFICKED, THE WHITE ARISTOCRATIC ELITE OF GEORGIA AND SOUTH CAROLINA, THE RICE BARONS ON THEIR WAY TO BEING AMONG THE RICHEST HUMAN BEINGS ON THE PLANET DUE TO THEIR SLAVING.
That is the kind of thinking that went into the founding, the framing the writing and adoption of the Constitution of the United States.
"Let us not intermeddle," in the same way the Roberts Court's New Taney Six doesn't want too "intermeddle" as the descendants of the slavers in the slave states prevent Black People, the descandants of the slaves who were treated that property from the possibility of getting their due representation in the Congress. No doubt on their way to giving a green ligtht to the full range of Black voter suppression that was the practice of the antebellum period and the Supreme Court sanctioned Jim Crow, now being revived in John (Roberts) Crow. Every one of the New Taney Six, Roberts, Alito, Thomas Goresuch, Kavanaugh and Coney-Barrett should have their names and reputations tied to Taney's and his Dred Scott majority every single time they're mentioned, individually and collectively.
