See post 27, another Freeper knew what I was talking about.

A warrant for the arrest of Taney may have been issued, but he was not actually arrested or jailed.
I believe that Freeper was referring to Taney's likely reaction at the thought of a black man on the Supreme Court, or in any other position of authority.

Yeah. That's a Southron myth without a shred of evidence to support it. And one way that you can tell is that not a single one of the biographies of Chief Justice Taney ever mention it. Not Charles Smith, who Adams quotes on other things. Not James F Simon, who wrote the most recent biography. Nobody. But I notice that y'all never let facts stand in the way of a good ol' Southron fairy tale.
