No ammount [sic]of words from Dr. Neely, or Noam McPherson for that matter, will change the fact that The Lincoln resorted to unconstitutional means though.

Lincoln didn't use unconstitutional means. By the standard of the day, he had as much right to interpret the Constitution as Taney did.

You are applying modern day standards to an historical person. But now you are outed.

A right to interpret the Constitution individually does not supersede the right of the court to exercise judicial review as established under Marbury. Marbury made that VERY clear - "The judicial power of the United States is extended to all cases arising under the constitution." Try again.

Not at all, Walt. What you are alleging to be the practice of the day - an absurd notion that logically dictates all court rulings void on simple disagreement with them elsewhere - was simply not the practice of the day. No ammount of saying otherwise is going to change that. Your desparation sure is showing though!
