Inaccurate info

At the top it says "As President, Buchanan intervened to assure the Supreme Court's majority ruling in the pro-slavery decision in the Dred Scott case."

The Dred Scott decision was decided only two days after James Buchanan was inaugurated as President. James Buchanan never made any public comments about the case prior to the decision. Revan5616 (talk) 10:25, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
