1. Scott is property, not a citizen therefore he has no legal basis to bring a lawsuit.
2. States or Federal government cannot take people’s PROPERTY away without due process of law.
3. Congress cannot ban slavery as it is Constitutional.

“The real issue is between men who think slavery is wrong and those who do not think it wrong. The Republicans think it wrong.”
