And of course you neglect to mention the two pieces of evidence I have previously provided you regarding this claim.

Cut the crap for a change, will you? "Lincoln and Chief Justice Taney: Slavery, Secession and the President's War Powers" by James F. Simon - a man who has written five books on Supreme Court justices. "Life of Roger Brooke Taney, Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court" by Bernard Christian Steiner. "Thunder on Capitol Hill: The Life of Chief Justice Roger B. Taney" by Alvin L. Schumacher and Dirk Gringhus. "Roger B. Taney" by Carl Brent Swisher. Four biographies of the Chief Justice. Not a single one makes the claim that Lincoln tried or even talked about arresting Taney.

So are you honestly saying that you believe that all these men conspired to suppress the evidence that Lincoln planned on arresting Taney? That they all plotted to protect Lincoln at the expense of the central figure of their biographies? Is that what you are honestly saying?

I'm saying they "dismissed" as "nonsense" evidence which they didn't wish to believe. Same as many of you do regarding this topic.
