excerpt:

This case was overturned by the 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery altogether, and the 14th Amendment, which pronounced all persons born in the United States to be citizens of the U.S. regardless of color or previous condition of servitude. Also, this case was the first to employ the substantive due process clause which would be referred to again later in many other cases.

excerpt:

It is one of only four cases in U. S. history that has ever been overturned by a Constitutional amendment (overturned by the 13th and 14th Amendments). It is also, along with Marbury, one of only two cases prior to the Civil War that declared a federal law unconstitutional.

But the court never actively reversed it's own decision.

"This case was overturned by the 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery altogether, and the 14th Amendment, which pronounced all persons born in the United States to be citizens of the U.S. regardless of color or previous condition of servitude."

I know that the case is rendered irrlelvant, but my question remains: Has the court vacated/overturned their decision?

I think not, and it is still a blot on their validity.
