DiogenesLamp: "...a court which had it's chief justice threatened with imprisonment was not likely going to say differently..."

Worth noting again that of the seven justices who voted for the Dred Scott decision in 1857, all but two were replaced during Lincoln's administration and those last two were replaced by President Grant.

So Democrat rule over the Supreme Court took some years to end, but eventually it did happen.
Crazy Roger Taney died in office, in October, 1864.

And this is the court that people don't think is a rubber stamp?
