The first case, ironically enough, was the one cited by President [Bush], Dred Scott v. Sandford, whose abhorrent result was produced by the application of originalist principles. Scott, a slave in St. Louis, had started a lawsuit in federal court for his freedom on the ground that he had once resided with his owner in a territory where Congress had banned slavery.
