Baltimore. Writ of Habeas Corpus. I Forget the guys name.

"Baltimore. Writ of Habeas Corpus. I Forget the guys name."

Lincoln attempted to throw Supreme Court Chief Justice Roger Taney into prison and had an arrest warrant issued for his arrest. Apparently Mr. Taney attempted to inform Lincoln that it was not within his constitutional authority to suspend habeas corpus, and Saint Abe didn't appreciate his interference in running the country.

Lincoln must have thought to himself "just who does this joker think he is trying to tell me what I can and can't do". Read more on this at:

"Baltimore. Writ of Habeas Corpus. I Forget the guys name."

I think he had some presses smashed up in Ohio also and had a congressman arrested.

While Maryand was in the balance, Lincoln was pretty ruthless.
