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.

Other than the fact that it simply doesn't exist, no.

There is nothing VALID about your documentation. Next time, instead of spades, try facts.

If Merryman and Taney were neighbors, it must have been a miracle.

Taney sold his home in Maryland in 1855 and moved to Washington, D.C. More specifically, he was living at 23 Blogden's Row, on Indiana Avenue, near the Court House. See Carl Brent Swisher, Roger B. Taney, pp. 472 and 472.

Merryman was from Maryland.

So much for your sourceless quote from the New York Times.

But maybe you like my autographed pic of Taney.
