Prigg v Pensylvania. Massachusetts Freedom trials.
Oh, you didn’t mention you were in favor of negro slavery.
I'm not in favor of slavery of any sort, but I'm also not in favor of pretending laws don't mean what they meant when they were written.
I'm very much against this practice by Liberal judges of "interpreting" a law to mean something very different from what was it's original intent.
Bad laws should be enforced until enough outrage is provoked to repeal them. I believe President Grant is the first to have said that.
"“I shall on all subjects have a policy to recommend, but none to enforce against the will of the people. Laws are to govern all alike—those opposed as well as those who favor them. I know no method to secure the repeal of bad or obnoxious laws so effective as their stringent execution.”
And I don't know why you want to impugn my motives or my philosophy.
