Don’t forget that degeneratelamp also believes that the Dred Scott ruling resulted in a prohibition against any state banning slavery.

It was weird... Illinois could “ban slavery,” but couldn’t declare that any slave reaching Illinois would be free there.

One of his many odd-ball theories.

That's incorrect. I think Article IV, Section 2 effectively prevented any state from banning slavery. I think Dred Scott just made it clear this is what the US Constitution did since the beginning.

And George Washington kept running slaves through Pennsylvania long after it banned them.
