Then why do you contribute to the majority of its production?
And all you guys can come up with is conjecture and connived actions, and you own wishful thinking.
Exactly what is wishful about it? The fact that Lincoln personally authorized Porter and personally intervened to impede court sanctions against Porter over the house arrest of Merrick prove beyond any doubt that Lincoln obstructed justice by coercive means. Judge Dunlop determined no less in the panel's decision on the case:
The President, charged by the Constitution to take care that the laws be executed, has seen fit to arrest the process of this Court, and to forbid the Deputy Marshal to execute it. It does not involve merely the question of the power of the Executive in civil war to suspend the great writ of freedom, the habeas corpus...The facts on which the rule was ordered by the Court are assumed to be true as respects the President, because the President had them before him, and has not denied them, but forbade the Deputy Marshal to serve the rule on General Andrew Porter.
Another colossal leap to a conclusion. In your universe Lincoln personally ordered every arrest because he ordered the suspension of habeas corpus. That is the only way that the Merrick case could remotely resemble the allegations on the Taney case.
