taney. what else do we know about this man as we move to learned about how he ran this court and how he ultimately -- >> the interesting facts about being a supreme court justice in the period is that you are not excused from serving on trial courts as well. so taney writes the circuit as we say and goes back to his home state of maryland. back to baltimore regularly. he goes to sit on trials in that federal district court. and so he is on the one hand, still a meshed in this world of baltimore and this world for a free black community, he is a patriot to free african americans in that city. and he has been in washington thinking on a very different scale, about the status of slavery and the standing of african americans going forward. to understand roger b. taney, you have to understand the world. he is in some ways not quite a wreck loose but reserved, he takes his seat on the bench very seriously. he doesn't want to appear to be tainted by popular opinion or by politics. but he continues

and taney was wrong. because of the 21st century, we must not be roger brook taney's america anymore. nor can we be jim crow's. our bill removes the bust of chief justice taney from the old supreme court chamber and replaces it with a bust of thurgood marshall, a son of baltimore. and the irony is the taney statue was on the east front of the capitol, mr. speaker. if you turned around and you five hrough the capitol years ago, 10 years ago, 15 years, if you went about 500 feet and walked out on the west front you walked into thurgood marshall park. as you would today. he was our first african-american justice. how appropriate is that we hopor him in place of roger brook taney. thurgood marshall is the face of our maryland in 2020 not roger taney. second, our bill no longer allows states to display statues in the capitol of individuals who voluntarily served the confederacy against our union during the civil war. t me just say as an aside, none of us are perfect. our founders weren't perfect. but what our

so what is taney saying here? there is now no restraint, not even the restraint of popular sovereignty while taking slaves into territories. ian wants to take his slave with him to kansas. everyone else in kansas might reprobate what ian is doing but legally speaking as a citizen of the united states of a u.s. territory no one can take that away from him anymore than they can take away his pig or goat or cat. taney just blew popular sovereignty to pieces. and in fact with it he blew the entire notion of congressional control over the territories to pieces. there is now no restraint on the expansion of slavery into the territories. now, if you thought -- zachary, if you thought back in 1854 that the kansas-nebraska act was a problem because it provided the possibility of legalizing slavery in some of the territories -- if you thought that was a problem, look at the migraine headache you have now. kansas-nebraska was a sniffle compare today the dred scott decision. you all see the logic of this? yes. yes, indeed. an

speaker, we passed just a few days ago the roger brook taney and other people -- in the opinion, the dred scott decision, what roger brook taney of the state of maryland said was black lives do not matter. they are not citizens. they are not worthy, he pointed out, to be with those of us who are white. we need to make sure that those citizens of our country understand that, yes, black ives matter. mr. speaker, i also have the sad , orgation to say that today yesterday, mr. donald anderson passed away. he was a page at the age of 13 on this floor. we don't have pages anymore. but it was a wonderful experience for those young people. he stayed. he stayed in the cloakroom. he became the director of the cloakroom. and then he became the clerk of the house. he had a distinguished career serving in this institution, which he loved. it began as a teenager, as i said. when i came to the house, he was the assistant manager of the democratic cloakroom. he served as clerk for the 100th through 103rd congress. don was also a u.s. army reserve. his life was filled with service to his country. i h
