justice joseph bradley, and justice john marshall harlan. both of them -- one wrote the majority opinion, the other wrote the single dissent to this case. very interesting human beings. what can you tell us about bradley? >> well, bradley finds himself at the fulcrum of almost everything that occurred with respect to the enforcement acts. their reconstruction. what you see is, you know, we talk here about the 1883 civil rights cases. but prior to the 1883 civil rights cases, there were a couple cases, but one, the krukshank case that bradley wrote dealt with the 1870 enforcement act which i would argue probably had greater significance in the context of reconstruction, and the potential impact on black americans than the 1875 civil rights act. and what that is, it was the first anti-clan act. and among other things it was the enforcement mechanism for the 15th amendment. it would have protected the ability of -- or it did purport to protect the ability of blacks, for example, to seek redress when they were denied voting rights, other things s
