Is that why Lincoln added a tenth justice to the Supreme Court?
The Supreme Court ruling in Milligan was respected.
Happened after Lincoln's death. He didn't have a chance to ignore them like he did the judicial ruling against him in Ex Parte Merryman.

The size of the court is determined by Congress. When Congress established a 10th circuit to cover California and Oregon then also expanded the Supreme Court to add a 10th Justice to cover it.

And Davis didn't have a chance to ignore supreme court decisions either. Besides, Merryman was not a Supreme Court case.
