While I don’t like removal of statutes in general, I don’t have a problem with removing Roger Taney’s statute. He was the Harry Blackmun of his day, twisting the Constitution to support Dem causes.

You are probably one of a handful of people in the entire country that knows (or cares) about that. How does removing a statue change that?

Next will be history revisionists and book burning. Will you support that too.
