Bullshit. Nowhere have you documented that Lincoln ordered the detention of Merrick, which is the only action that would connect that with the alleged order to detain Taney. Instead you offer your opinion of what Lincoln must have meant.
You're throwing sand again, non-seq. I never claimed that he ordered Merrick's _house arrest_. I did claim and have fully documented that he authorized that _house arrest_ though.
which is the only action that would connect that with the alleged order to detain Taney.
Unsubstantiated garbage. I need only demonstrate that Lincoln employed and sanctioned the arrest and harassment of judges to prevent them from ruling against him. Lincoln did that with Merrick and he tried to do it with Taney. You simply don't like that it shows your boy Saint Abe wasn't so saintly after all.
