I’ve been fascinated with Roger Taney since college and have read several biographies on the man, from Charles Smith, James F. Simon and Bernard Christian Steiner. And in none of them did the biographer mention Lincoln issuing an arrest warrant. Taney mentioned his fears in his memoirs, edited by Samuel Tyler seven or eight years after Taney’s death, but gave no evidence to support his fears. So if his own biographers didn’t find enough evidence supporting the claim that Lincoln ordered his arrest, and if Taney himself not only couldn’t provide any evidence to support his fears but instead remained on the bench till his death, then I think that’s pretty convincing evidence that no such warrant ever existed.

So basically you have no supporting documentation to prove your little theory. Just to keep saying no he didn’t over and over will not prove your point. :-)
