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:

The problem with your link is that if you read it closely Adams is admitting that there is no concrete evidence that supports the claim that Lincoln issued an arrest warrant for Taney. No support in the archives of the U.S. Marshal;s Service. No support in the Lieber papers. Nothing but opinion and speculation and paranoid fears without justification. The simple truth is that Taney remained on the Supreme Court bench as Chief Justice until his death in 1863.
Finish your story. Taney was never arrested, but he WOULD HAVE BEEN in the Confederacy. Lew Rockwell is a racist and totally un-historical site, by the way. I know you love that crap, so don't bother reposting. You'll get no more replies from me. But the other board members should know that Lew Rockwell's site has the accuracy of, well, "Uncle Tom's Cabin."
Chief Justice Taney, a Democrat appointed by Andrew Jackson, wrote the opinion of the Court in Dred Scott.
