Thanks for sharing Professor Franck's article with the list, Rick. I served on an APSA panel with him a few years ago. He's a serious scholar. That said, I think a "liberal originalist" (i.e., someone who interprets the Constitution in light of the classical liberal principles of the Declaration of Independence) can show that both Dred Scott and Bowers were wrong. I tried to do that in To Secure These Rights: The Declaration of Independence and Constitutional Interpretation (NYU Press).
Professor Franck does score points against law professors, though!
