"Anti-gun Oregon Democrat State Senator Chuck Riley says the Supreme Court was 'right for the time' for upholding the enslavement of blacks as Constitutional. His comments came after questioning by gun rights advocates who were attempting to understand his rational for supporting citizen disarmament edicts, and was recorded by videographer 'LaughingAtLiberals.'"

"'But that wasn't the end of it,' blogger Gateway Pundit noted. He embedded a second video, where Sen.

Step 1: If it was a common practice when the Constitution was ratified, and was not immediately banned when the Constitution took force, then it was not unconstitutional in 1789.

Step 2: If it was Constitutional in 1789, it was Constitutional until an amendment made it unconstitutional.

Step 3: When was the Constitution amended to ban slavery? It appears that the framers of Amendment 14 intended it to ban slavery, so let's use the ratification of 14 as the date slavery became unconstitutional.

The 13th amendment did away with slavery. It was ratified in December of 1865.

SECTION. 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

SECTION. 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
