“in one case, the bust of the first Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, Roger Brooke Taney...”

Roger Brook Taney was born in 1777.

It’s quite amazing that he became Chief Justice in 1789 at the age of 12.

I’ve read that people back then matured much faster and died much younger due to the hardships they had to endure.

In 1835, after Democrats took control of the Senate, Jackson appointed Taney to succeed John Marshall on the Supreme Court as Chief Justice. (wiki)

In one case, the bust of the first Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, Roger Brooke Taney, will be replaced with one of leftist Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall.

Marshall Law -- it's for real.
