Dred Scott and John Sanford. My bad, thank you for highlighting it.
(Time to reread a lot of history, for me).
It is a convoluted case of ownership of property transferred among various parties, until an earlier party repurchased, and then freed Dred, allowing he and his wife, Harriet, to be freemen.

Justice Roger Brooke Taney, the chief justice, who filed the brief on his finding for the majority, made multiple statements derogatory about the nature of black people and their contributions to a society quite candidly, in the local and national press.
To say that any human being may be the property of another is to place one human above another. To be subjugated to another is in complete contrast to the spirit of the Declaration of Independence.
While the D of I may not be canon, it is all that any reasonable decent person needs to aspire to, to fulfill the law of God.
Thank you for correcting me on it, requiring a reread on my part.
Nonetheless, my statement regarding the Supreme Court in all it's foulness, stands.
