Lincoln was sworn in by Taney. Then Taney had to sit there while Abe ripped him a new one in his 1st Inaugural in his comments about the people ceasing to be their own rulers due to a rogue tribunal.

I envision this as similar to a Liberal President upset that the Supreme Court has told him he can't have "gay marriage."

As I have pointed out, I think Judge Tanney was following the law as it was intended when it was written, not as the latest Liberal trend in what they think it ought to mean.

He ruled that Dred Scott had to remain a slave, and I see this ruling as consistent with the requirements of article IV. It is unfair to Dred Scott, but fairness and law do not always coincide.

As with most Liberals, Lincoln probably didn't care so much about a rogue tribunal, he was probably just upset that it didn't go his way. When the Supreme court goes their way, Liberals don't care if the legal reasoning is sound or not.

He also ruled that blacks, free or slave, were not and could never be citizens. Do you think he was right there as well?
