It's a fact as long as it's true, and to date you've offered no credible reason to believe it isn't.
I know that Lincoln's orders many times, were over-zealously carried out.
Yes, and he also overzealously pursued them. The Merrick case is a prime example where Lincoln was DIRECTLY involved in harassing and abusing the judicial branch because they contradicted him on habeas corpus NOT over any genuine real or even imagined criminal but on the case of a teenage minor who was illegally being held in the army. Seward's orders and the court documents reveal that Lincoln personally instructed him to house arrest Judge Merrick, unconstitutionally suspend Merrick's salary, and intervene to prevent the delivery of a contempt summons against the general who placed the guards at Merrick's house.
Judge Merrick's wife was also arrested.
No, that is correct.
I want to see the evidence by which he came to that conclusion.
When I receive the book I will check it out myself.
He might be correct in his opinion.

Given recent events with courts, I am not at this moment feeling any great sympathy for them.
I will do some research on the matter and see what happened.
