Taney changed the decision between the time he delivered it from the bench, to the time it was published, contrary to the rules of the Court.

Wrong. The decisions were final when published by the court reporter.

"Wrong. The decisions were final when published by the court reporter."

Incorrect, as usual. The rule is there to prevent an unscrupulous Justice from pulling the con game that Taney pulled. That is, to get your fellow Justice to sign on to a decision, and then modify it or substitute another one.

Unless you can support your assertion with documentation, you are just blustering. I have supported my contentions about the Dred Scott decision with numerous citations from respected historians and legal scholars.
