Lincoln and Taney

[L Verge]

I don't remember ever reading this before; is it true? When Lincoln suspended habeas corpus, Chief Justice Roger B. Taney demanded to know by what authority Lincoln could do this.

Instead of citing Article I, Section 9 of the Constitution, Lincoln ordered the arrest of the 84-year-old justice. The warrant was never carried out because Lincoln could not find a U.S. marshal willing to arrest the highest-ranking judge in the nation.
