Never said makes it right. Only that is the law. That is fact.

So "the law", such as the law that some men can hold others to work for them, is okay with you, so long as it's "the law."

You don't have an ethical belief in the moral foundation of law?

Does the law mean what it says, or does it mean whatever judges want it to mean?

The law is the law, disobey at your own peril.

“You don’t have an ethical belief in the moral foundation of law?”
Do you believe ethically that Article IV section II of the Constitution is a moral law. You seem to defend vehemently that it must be obeyed. It is cited in many of your threads that since it is in the Constitution it is inviolable.
In your opinion Article IV section II needed to be followed no matter what the consequences of that action may be. Return the slaves so they can continue to dig fortifications, Return the slaves so they may continue to cast cannon, Return the slave so they can they can make the ammunition to kill American soldiers.
Obedience to Article IV section II is paramount in your view of the world. Your opinion of what is moral is strange indeed.
I personally do believe Article IV section 2 of the Constitution is unethical and immoral. I am glad that it has been removed by Amendment to the Constitution.
