........FWIW I live about 45 minutes from the former home of Chief Justice Roger Taney......he's the guy that swore Lincoln in and 6 other presidents too.......for as long as anybody can remember the house was always known as "the Taney Shrine"........it has declined in recent years however.....a local historical society is now restoring it so that it can be open to the public daily.......after "consulting" with the local NAACP however they knuckled under and have taken down the plaque that said "shrine".......that's cause Taney wrote Dred Scott, a decision based on law but uber un-PC these days.....never mind that the majority of the court agreed with him......I expect his demonization will only grow in the future......

Our foes have seen too many of our side knuckle under. That only emboldens them.

that's cause Taney wrote Dred Scott, a decision based on law..."Dred Scott" was -not- based in law or precedent. Blacks could vote in 5 northern states at the time.
It was an attempt at social engineering.

Thanx.
