As I've already said, there could be any of a number of reasons.

None of which make sense. You would have us believe there was a conspiracy spanning 150 years by all of Taney's biographers and Taney himself to deliberately ignore Lincoln's plan to arrest him despite what you claim is irrefutable proof. Only you could see logic in that.

Because it was idiotic and not remotely comparable.

When if comes to idiocy then who would know that better than you?

the article I posted already did.

Crap. None of the biographers were aware of the Lamon memo? None of them were aware of the written accounts of conversations with Taney? Really?

Conspiracy? I never said there was a "conspiracy". The article I posted did not say there was a "conspiracy" either. This is a classic straw man argument.

Indeed! After reading so many of your posts I've been exposed to a huge amount of idiocy.

They were aware of the Lamon memo. Of course the Lincoln hagiographers attacked him and tried to discredit him. As for why the biographers did not mention that that was confirmed in the accounts of others, you'd have to ask them.
