Thank you for documenting this. Why am I not surprised to learn of it?

So once again we have another case of fraud perpetrated by El Capitan to artificially bolster his case. This guy abuses his own chosen sources almost as much as he abuses Supreme Court decisions by appending extraneous material to their rulings!

There is nothing fraudulent about the documentation. The only fraud is your brown-shirt response.

Of course the Northern reaction to Taney's tainted ruling in Merryman was hostile. Taney was a southern partisan whose reputation in the North was already badly damaged by Dred Scott.

You asked for my evidence that Merryman was a "friend and neighbor" of Taney's. You got it. In spades. So stop the cowardly whining.
