And again you resort to fairy tale instead of fact and show your ignorance to boot.

It has been proven. Lincoln's very own bodyguard says it's true, and so does at least one other source. It is sufficient to establish the point without stronger evidence to demonstrate it isn't true.

Do you have any evidence that it isn't beyond "historians" claiming they can't find any proof (which they will believe) that it is?

We also know that Lincoln locked up people willy nilly, and so it's not even a stretch to believe that he threatened, and even went so far as to write out an arrest warrant for Chief Justice Tanney.

then I have no problem at all dismissing your posts as the drivel they are.

You will do that regardless of what I say or show you because you have no intention on considering any perspective that contradicts what you wish to believe.

You are a cheerleader and an apologist, not an objective philosopher who is looking for the truth.

And yet none of Chief Justice Taney's biographers saw fit to include that certainly important piece of information in any of their books on the man. James F. Simon, Charles W. Smith, Bernard Christian Steiner, none of them found any credible evidence to support the claim.

But I think I understand your standard here. If something has been said and/or written, and you agree with it, then it's proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. That would go a long way towards explaining a lot of your posts.

Do you have any evidence that it isn't beyond "historians" claiming they can't find any proof (which they will believe) that it is?

What you are asking is do I have any evidence supporting your belief that there is some sort of grand conspiracy among Taney biographers spanning forty years or more to suppress any mention of the Lincoln arrest warrant, thus elevating Lincoln's status and protecting his reputation? No, I don't I won't go into just how stupid I think that suggestion is.

We also know that Lincoln locked up people willy nilly, and so it's not even a stretch to believe that he threatened, and even went so far as to write out an arrest warrant for Chief Justice Tanney.

We know that because you say so?

You will do that regardless of what I say or show you because you have no intention on considering any perspective that contradicts what you wish to believe.

I do that because I've been reading your stuff for a while, and, as amusing as it also gets tired since you repeat it so often.

You are a cheerleader and an apologist, not an objective philosopher who is looking for the truth.

And it's safe to say that I will find neither in you.
