you know, the house actually passed a bill to take down the roger taney bust last summer. it passed in the democratic-controlled house last july, but it never went anywhere. republican senate leader mitch mcconnell blocked. so taney still sits there outside of the old supreme court chamber in the u.s. capitol. now that democrats are in control of the senate, it's not mitch mcconnell there anymore, it's chuck schumer who is the majority leader in the senate, now that it's democrats controlling the house and senate, maybe old roger taney is finally going to get some downtime. maybe we will stop that ongoing honor for him in the united states capitol to get that honor. the vote today in the house -- second time in two years they've taken this vote, the vote tonight in the u.s. house was 285 to 129. 120 members -- republican members of the house voting no, to keep him up there, a dred scott guy. and the -- speaking of the idea of the confederate flag inside the u.s. capitol, tonight, we learned that republicans in the house are whipping the vote. telling their members of the ho
