Do you have a source for number 3 (warrant to arrest the Chief Justice)? It's not that I don't believe you, it's just the kind of think I'm interested in reading about.
The warrant, if there was one, never issued. The case in question was Ex parte Merryman. Justice Taney was sitting as a Circuit Court (middle level federal court) judge for the case, as was the usual practice for Supreme Court Justices at the time.
Historical evidence for the purported warrant comes from a book written by a Lincoln confidant and bodyguard named Ward Lamon in the 1880s.
LewRockwell.com also has some interesting articles on Lincoln, but they redesigned the site so a lot of links on Google are broken for now.
