The horrible decision in Dredd Scott was reached by a man as scrupulous and fierce in his legal reasoning as Alito. Both good Catholics too. Famous Taney ruling, (which has never been overrruled!): That the original intent of the Founders was that "persons of the negro race ... [are] an inferior order and altogether unfit to associate with the white race"

It should be noted that Dred Scott has not been overruled by the Supreme Court because it was overruled by the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments.
