∙ 13y ago
Benjamin R. Curtis, one of two dissenters in the Dred Scott decision, resigned from the US Supreme Court on September 30, 1857, as a direct result of his disagreement with the Court's decision. Curtis argued against every holding in the case, especially the notion that African-Americans were not citizens of the US.
Curtis also correctly argued that once the Court declared Dred Scott lacked standing to bring the case, its jurisdiction ended and it had no legal grounds to issue a decision.

Is it legal to petition the US Supreme Court?
Yes, of course it's legal to petition the US Supreme Court. When discussing Supreme Court cases, it's important to realize "petition" means to file an appeal of a case already decided by the lower courts. It does not mean to send a signature petition in protest or support of a decision. You are within your legal rights to send such a document, but the Court is not required to read it.

The African-Americans that lived in Montgomery, Alabama staged a nonviolent protest in the form of a boycott of the Montgomery Bus System. As a result of this nonviolent protest (and the US Supreme Court decision Browder v. Gayle, (1956)), African-Americans were allowed to sit anywhere they wanted on a bus.
