You also mentioned that Abe was executed. Please correct that.
In addition, getting back to Lincoln and Taney, are you familiar with who authored the following passage?:
Whatever may be the force of the decision of the Supreme Court in binding the parties and settling their rights in the particular case before them, I am not prepared to admit that a construction given to the constitution by the Supreme Court in deciding any one or more cases fixes of itself irrevokably [sic] and permanently its construction in that particular and binds the states and the Legislative and executive branches of the General government, forever afterwards to conform to it and adopt it in every other case as the true reading of the instrument although all of them may unite in believing it erroneous.
No, I am correct; and since have opened your mouth, put your money where your mouth is.

You are asking me to lie. No thanks. There were executioners lined up from Washington D.C. to Texas "dying" to rid the world of that terrorist.

That sounds like something a true Constitutional scholar would say. It is certainly Jeffersonian, as well as anti-Marshallian.
