PLEASE. Just read the Constitution some day. PLEASE! It ain't hard to do. You cite Article I Section 9. I cite Article I Section 1:
All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.

So I repeat to your, hang Lincoln for Merryman, but I assume you will now stop the crap about how terrible it was from July 61 forward when CONGRESS suspended the writ.
And Ditto for Dixie where the writ was suspended for the duration of the war.
BTW. What ever happened to Jihaidst John Merryman? Was he hung like the Union folks in Texas? Did he rot in prison? Or was he in Virginia in the Confederate army before the ink was dry on Taney's decision?
