"While his wife was living, Taney boarded in Washington and returned home to Baltimore when the Court was not in session ..."

[cr #2153] Pardon me for laughing out loud.

No problem. It is normal behaviour for Blue-State morons.

The Merryman case was in 1861. Taney's wife died in 1855. In 1855 he sold the Baltimore house and moved to Washington, D.C.

Taney was born in Frederick, MD. When he died, the services were held in Frederick and he was buried in Frederick. Baltimore was not home.

At the time of the Merryman case, Taney LIVED in Washington, D.C. at 23 Blagden's Row. That was his ONLY residence. Taney's widowed daughter Sophia and her son Roger stayed there, as did Taney's daughter Ellen who was an invalid much of her life.

When Taney went to Baltimore for the Merryman case, he stayed at the house of his daughter Anne, and his son-in-law James Campbell at what was then No. 55 Franklin Street, in the second block west of Charles.

John Merryman was a resident of Baltimore COUNTY, not Baltimore CITY. John Merryman was at his home, sleeping, when Lincoln's storm troopers arrived to unlawfully arrest him.

John Merryman's home was near COCKEYSVILLE. From Franklin Street in Baltimore City to COCKEYSVILLE is a distance of 23 MILES.

Following his arrest, John Merryman was brought to Baltimore by train.

John Merryman was not a neighbor to Chief Justice Taney's Washington address.

When Chief Justice Taney stayed at his daughter's home 23 MILES FROM COCKEYSVILLE, he did not magicly become a neighbor to John Merryman, despite capitan_kerryfugio's mindless blathering.

Baltimore City was an independent city, and not part of Baltimore County.

When Chief Justice Taney stayed in his daughter's house in Baltimore City, he was not even in the COUNTY of Merryman's residence, you prime example of Blue State Cultural ignorance and gross public dumb.

John MERRYMAN was born on 9 Aug 1824. He died on 15 Nov 1881. He was buried in Cockeyville, MD.

Chief Justice TANEY was born March 17, 1777. In 1861, Merryman was 36 years old. Taney was 84 years old.

All of this is a matter of public record and has been known for more than a century.

Damn, you're dumb.

"Damn, you're dumb."

Talking to yourself again? Sorry, you are as narrow-minded as your comrade, GOPc.
