"You gave a mini-bio of him containing details of his tenure and his home state. You then repeated an unusual typo that was unique to a single website containing the exact same information you posted about Merrick, but NOT your gratuitous charge of "confederate sympathy" against him."

Multiple sources of information.

"Lincoln had other plans though - he needed children like Murphy as cannon fodder in his battle lines so he wantonly impeded the judicial branch from carrying out this simple and common recourse action!"

Whoosh! That's the sound of your remaining credibility going right down the toilet. You're better than cheap shots like that. You sound like John Kerry now.

Then provide the one that specifies your gratuitous slanders against Judge Merrick.

Whoosh! That's the sound of your remaining credibility going right down the toilet.

Don't be stupid, capitan. Everything I just said about Lincoln is absolutely true. The entire case was about him forcing an underage minor, Murphy, to stay in his army and his action in it consisted of (1) arresting Murphy's lawyer, (2) house arresting Judge Merrick, and (3) impeding the delivery of the contempt rule against his provost marshall for the house arrest of Merrick. His disregard for the judiciary and rule of law was outright reckless.
