Really? Will SCOTUS overturn Petersons conviction for murdering his unborn son?

No idea, its a different court now. They just might though. Does the Constituion constrain states from expanding individual rights?

Trick question. Not at the expense of someone else's.

When SCOTUS upheld the non personhood of black folk in Dred Scott, were they correct and within their power to do so?

Doesn't matter - it was still law of the land. An ammendment made that decision moot.

Actually it matters quite a bit. You se the oveririding decision in Scott was that Taney and friends decided that the Constituion forced slavery onto Missouri when Missouri wanted to expand the rights of blacks. Sound familiar?

not a trick question, a simple one and you gave the wrong answer. States are free to expand rights for all, equally, no pig is more equal than the next pig. Simple.
