I always applaud upholding the rule of law.

Hey Buddy, prior to 1861 in this country, it was legal for Southern states to own slaves. I guess you would applaud upholding that federal rule of law just like this one.

Just because it's a law doesn't make it morally correct.

There's also a law you can kill eight month old babies, I guess you agree with that law also.

The Founders of this countrhy upheld this law.

On what basis do you find slave ownership morally wrong?

Can't be based on Christian doctrine, since the New Testament instructs slaves to submit to their masters (1 Peter 2:18, Ephesians 6:5-8).
