Slaves were not people in the eyes of the law. They were property.

The 13th amendment changed the status of slaves. No longer did the law see them as property but people. The 14th amendment made these people now citizens equal under the law.

The 13th amendment cancelled out the foundation on which the Dred Scott ruling or the Fugitive Slave Law was built.

Citizens cannot suddenly be treated as property. There is no basis in the law for that.

What else describes the judges who reason that such indecent and obtrusive searches and naked-scanners are legal? THEY DO INDEED, IN ALL PRACTICAL EFFECT TURN US INTO CHATTEL HELD LIKE AFRICANS ON A SLAVE BOAT.

This is why common sense and morality must (outside of what has become the current accepted legal reasoning process) in the end reset, chop through and nullify all legal reasoning which produces such a result. In judges and legal scholars can’t not do that, then the people must, and if the nation’s people do not, then dissolution, chaos and the forces of destruction will.
