So I guess a major issue for Taney (to ignore or interpret in a way that suited) was Article IV, Section 2, of the Constitution: "The citizens of each state shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities of citizens in the several states." ?

Constitution said -If you were a citizen living in SC you had the same status in NY. However, I believe Taney was trying to answer the question that if you weren't a citizen in SC did the state of NY have the power to name you a citizen in NY (and was SC bound by NY's decision).
