Ditto to DiogenesLamp on state abolition laws: "The legal basis of it dates back to British Common Law predating our independence.
There were dozens of cases where state courts in slave states declared slaves free in identical cases as Dred Scott.
here is the case of Rachel v. Walker "

We should take note that here, and in some others of your excellent posts, the response from DiogenesLamp is a thunderous, deafening silence.

How do they score in tennis? Point, set, match?

There is an uncomplimentary way to regard silence. It's the point at which you think words are pointless because you are arguing with a fool.

So here you are silent for days or a week, or so long I don't even remember the last time you said something, and now you are chortling over what you see as a lack of response from me?

I'm thinking I need to give you and a whole lot of other people a lot more lack of response. Arguing with religious nutjobs is an effort in futility.

Oh, and to address your point, citing state cases is what an IDIOT does. They have no binding power over a Federal case or Federal law, of which the US Constitution article IV most certainly is.
