Well you really could debate the Scott v Sandford ruling for a few reasons. Firstly, at that period in time, slavery WAS legal within the United States. If you wanted to you could form an argument surrounding stolen property, etc. You must remember (as we already know) that the so called "human" aspect couldn't be taken into consideration in such a matter. If you look at the issue solely on a property dispute you could see the positive points the slaveholders made in regards to runaway slaves.
