I know some of them put a lot of stock into what Lincoln’s biographers say, because I have been informed many times that those biographers refuse to agree that Lincoln issued an arrest warrant for Chief Justice Tanney, despite his own friend and body guard claiming that he did.

Not only that but none of Taney's biographers support the claim that Lincoln issued an arrest warrant for the Chief Justice. Ask DiogenesLamp why that is. I never get tired of hearing him tell it.

The answer is to be found in Chief Justice Taney’s ruling in ex parte Merryman.
