This article has been checked against the following criteria for B-class status:
This page is aptly described as start class on Wikipedia, and my opinion, this assessment is still entirely accurate. There exists little on this page about the Associate Justice himself.
It never really mentions the wider impact of the post-bellum Supreme Court in shaping the interpretation of the 14th and 15th amendments.
The discussion on the Civil Rights Cases (1883) and Slaughterhouse Cases (1873) are lacking any depth about how those two decisions absolutely eviscerated the 14th Amendment's promise of equality under the law, leading to decades of setbacks until the 1960s Civil Rights Movement.
Overall, it has a long, long way to go before it even approaches so much as B-class on Wikipedia.
When these issues are addressed, the article can be renominated. If you feel that this review is in error, feel free to have it reassessed. Thank you for your work so far.
