Once upon a time the Congress and the Supremes both agreed that certain classes of people were subject to be owned by other people, with no recourse. Slavery was a matter of state, not federal, law. Read a book.

Read the constitution, 'the law of the land' refutes your silly claim.
In any case, slavery was used as an example of how congress & courts can be wrong on basic principles. Thus, your 'point' is just another dodge & an attempt to divert the issue.
