What is NOT established is that Merryman and Taney were social peers, or close personal friends.

It is well established that Merryman did NOT maintain a residence in Baltimore, as alleged by your NYT source.

It is well established that, at the time of the Merryman case, Chief Justice Taney's only residence for the past five years was in Washington, D.C., 57 MILES from Cockeysville, Maryland.

It is well established that, when in Baltimore, CJ Taney stayed with his daughter, whose residence was 23 MILES from Cockeysville.

It is well established that Merryman was, at the time of his arrest, awakened at about 2 a.m. while in his bed in his residence near Cockeysville, Maryland.

It is well established that CJ Taney and John Merryman were NOT neighbors.

It is well established that your source FALSELY asserted that John MERRIMAN (sic) was a citizen of Baltimore.

It is well established that CJ Taney was 46 years older than John Merryman. There is zero evidence they they were either friends or acquaintances.
