Moot point since slavery was abolished by an amendment to the US Constitution.
You should be glad that the Supreme Court decided that same sex marrriage is legal in all the USA. Now, when your grandson or granddaughter tells you they are getting married to their lover of the same sex, you can rejoice in their happiness.

You agree that Dred Scott was a mistake, yet you cannot see this particular decision as something that could be a bad one !!
You do recall that about 10 years ago, a same sex couple was breaking the law by simply showing their love and still break the law in almost 1/2 the countries of the world ?
Problem today is if you are able to get political traction and power on ANY issue and then slam it in the face of everybody, it suddenly becomes mainstream.
