The quote evidences that Taney's ruling is not at all out of bed with Lincoln's understanding. Interesting that Lincoln would go on to rail against the decision as a means of achieving political points, hammering home a wedge into an already deeply divided country.
Maybe you can at least see the folly in all of the 'holier than thou' crapola being dished out by the St Abe crew.
Yeah, out of context. Lincoln was not saying that the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution applied inly to whites, regardless of what you imply.

Oh bullshit. In the first place this speech was given in 1854, three years before Scott v Sandford. In the second place Taney ruled that blacks were not due any Constitutional protections, even citizenship. That is totally foreign to what Lincoln was saying here. Lincoln was acknowledging that slavery was legal and tolerated, but that the time would come when a decision on the future of slavery would have to be made. AND Lincoln believed that the same rights proclaimed in the Declaration of Independence applied to all, white and black. An idea that would have given Taney apoplexy.

No, I'm afraid that it's being lost in all the hypocrisy of the Lincoln loathers and their southron hero worship.
