Holy crap. Read the room, @TheAtlantic
At this particular moment, @TheAtlantic dusts off a two year old story to go #NotAllMen.
The scene: a children's hospital cancer ward
The Atlantic's twitter account strides boldly through the doors: "there are actually lots of diseases that have tragic outcomes. Let's talk about *those*"

OK, fine...looks like I drew the short straw today, so here's why DDS is wrong. Again. As Always. *Puts on Historian Hat* THREAD INCOMING
1. Some background: the 3/5 Compromise is in Art. 1, sec. 2 of the Constitution, in the section on how representation would be apportioned among the states in the new House of Representatives, the seats in which wld be alloted by population.
2. The language reads as follows. Note the avoidance of the word "slave"--the Constitution scrupulously avoids that word throughout. Some people argue that means the Constitution didn't really protect slavery. Those people are wrong.

For a historian, when present-day news events touch on something you've researched, the reaction is usually "Hey! Cool! I know some stuff about this!" followed immediately by "Holy crap, I can't believe this is still a thing. AAAARRRGGG." Anyhoo....impeachment.

(Thread incomng)
1. Lots of people, based on this week's shitshow, have asked "can a Supreme Court Justice be impeached?" And the answer is YES; the Constitution says any officer of the federal government who commits "high crimes and misdemeanors" can be impeached (indicted) & tried by the Senate
2. Not only CAN a SC Justice be impeached, but one has, actually. Samuel Chase, a Maryland Federalist (and by all accounts, a supreme jerkface), was impeached and tried in 1804-early 1805. He was acquitted, but there's more to the story. I WROTE ABOUT THIS THING ONCE WOO HOO 😁

So, if you didn't know, I'm a recovering alcoholic. When I was still actively drinking, I went to the bar during the day *all the time* but had to hide it from my wife and co-workers. This is when smoking was still allowed in bars, so covering it up was...difficult (1/9)
So what I would do is keep a spare shirt in my office and change into it when I went back to work. You know, because my pants certainly didn't smell like smoke...just my shirt (alcoholic logic). Or, if I went home, I'd throw my clothes in the wash and change into new ones. (2/9)
Then I would wash my hair *in the sink* with hand soap from the dispenser (I know, right?), and VOILA I WAS NEVER AT THE BAR BC I SMELLED CLEAN .QED.

Of course, I still smelled like smoke, bc I was at the bar for hours. Plus, my breath was like a brewery. Bc, you know. (3/9)
