Further, the slave power also demanded that their rights to slaves extended to the northern states.
Previous cases had held that state officials of free states did not have to cooperate with slave catchers in the pursuit of accused run away slaves. Federal marshalls had that authority.
Dredd Scott decision expanded that, to deny any right an accused slave or person of African ancestry had to any consideration at any time. Dredd Scott was not a run away slave. He was knowingly taken to free territory and to free states by his putative master.
And....The fact that Roberts found the arguement that the mandate is not a tax for the purpose of the anti-Injunction Act, but is a tax for constitutional purposes is absurd. The 4 consevatives on the court turned their back on Roberts for good reason. Are you really trying to defend Roberts on this ? It’s obvious what tricks Roberts pulled in allowing Obmacare to stand.
