Bull Snipe: " Other than habeas corpus, what court cases were bought before the Supreme court during the War"

Habeas Corpus was not ruled on by the US Supreme Court, only by crazy Roger Taney in is role as a Maryland district judge.
Lincoln chose to ignore crazy Roger's opinion and Congress then authorized Lincoln's actions.

Of course our pro-Confederates like to point to crazy Roger's ruling and say, "see, see, see, Lincoln was unconstitutional, the beast!"
But they totally ignore any & all rulings & laws which went the other way.

I very much believe Lincoln ignored any authority with which he disagreed. It is clear in his actions.

But they totally ignore any & all rulings & laws which went the other way.

Why pay attention to rubber stamps? I can read the constitution with my own eyes, and I can see how he violated it in numerous ways. I don't need a court to blow smoke up my @$$.

Isn’t Taney the judge who ruled in the Dred Scott case? I know he was a virulent racist.
