Trump should arrest Chief Justice Taney?
“Abe Lincoln threatened to arrest Chief Justice Taney for running his mouth in the opening days of the Civil War.”
He was considering arresting Taney, not for what he said, but for what he did.
Taney granted writs of Habeas Corpus to Maryland legislators that had been jailed without charges by the Army officials in Maryland. Justice Taney also pointed out to President Lincoln that he lacked the Constitutional authority to suspend the writ of Habeas Corpus.
