"You've only shown that one single purported right winger (who also happens to be a notorious crank that virtually all other right wingers constantly disagree with) has an unfortunate and revealing habit of ending up on the same side of an argument as lots and lots of radical left wingers."

You forget about Rehnquist and his criticism of Taney in the book All the Laws But One. At least I consider him to be politically right of center.

You forget about Rehnquist and his criticism of Taney in the book All the Laws But One.

I already addressed his points in detail, including the fact that you selectively skew the parts of it you like while ignoring those that you do not (i.e. his comment that Lincoln's legal argument for the suspension would only convince a true believer). It has also been documented that Rehnquist now signs on to the same position that Taney espoused in Merryman. Hamdi settled that one. He is no longer of use to you as an authority.
