Cool video. I love Lincoln and I am most fascinated by his legal battles with the S.C. At times Lincoln would use Latin, Roman law to argue his point. The republic was torn with 3 branches at war because the people were poisoned by years of slavery but somehow the system gave us Lincoln and Grant.
Very informative disquisition by Chief Justice Roberts.
An excellent profile of President Lincoln, I didn't knew he was also a sophisticated attorney, besides his activism leading to the abolishment of slavery. nice, Ali
Who is the guy giving the introduction speech?

We are fortunate that law has replaced simple vigilante virtue that hangs people without a fair trial.
