The text of the decision that Taney delivered orally was what was supported by "the majority" of the Court (although, considering that every justice submitted some sort of dissent or concurrence or both, there are some points made by Taney that seem not to have had a mjority behind them). That oral text was not the same text that was published. No one can be sure exactly what the court decided.
"As usual, blowing it out your butt."
You seem to have a fixation on all things anal.
No, just with your process of squeezing out turds of thought. I redirect them to my printer and cut the result into four-inch squares and keep them in the little reading room where they can serve a useful purpose.

No, moron. The opinion is written and delivered after they reach agreement on the holding. It is the holding that is agreed upon. There are concurring opinions which disagree, in part, with the Opinion of Taney, but all concurring justices agree with the holding.
Everybody knows what the holding was in Scott. Well, with the possible exception of capitan_refugio.
