"The meaning of this is as clear as language can make it. The things denounced are slavery and involuntary servitude, and Congress is given power to enforce that denunciation. All understand by these terms a condition of enforced compulsory service of one to another."
Libertarian doctrine runs counter to the protections of our Constitution's 13th Amendment, and would permit slavery to be re-established under the guise of contract.

I'm not arguing that. Never have been. Like I said, we are clearly not communicating.

Why are you unable to acknowledge that "indentured" and "involuntary" are not synonyms? No habla Engles? Your assertion regarding "Libertarian doctrine" is simply false, revealing your gross misunderstanding of the subject.
Your "overwhelming" sources remain well hidden.
Is that all? Why didn't you just ask? I suggest that for openers, you refer to the writings of the Founders themselves. Start with the Federalist Papers.
