I suppose it should also be noted that Lincoln directly shunned at least four federal court rulings against him on habeas and ignored the meaning a fifth even though one of his generals eventually released the prisoner as he was ordered by the court.
So in total, there are five federal court rulings against him for which contempt could be charged, one of which actually did cite him specifically for "arrest[ing] the process of this court."

capitan? Ball's in your court -- you've got your answer.
Serve us up your next howler.

Well, guys, I'm off for a bit. This is great but I need to get some other things moving forward, so I'll be spending less time in the room.
I'll check in, of course. I just won't be up for book reviews and second-guessing Justice Chase for a bit.

Court processes should never proceed in the lack of jurisdiction. With habeas constitutionally suspended, they had none.
