he forgave robert byrd's vote against thurgood marshall.e forgave byrd's opposition to the civil rights act of 1964. and yes, he forgave senator byrd's membership in the ku klux klan. robert byrd's chapter of the klan was not known to be involved in any violence. senator byrd said they never conducted any parades or marches or public demonstrations of any kind. robert byrd came to be ashamed of his membership in the klan. he said, "it has emerged throughout my life to haunt and embarrass me." in 2005 he told eric pianin of the "washington post," "i know now i was wrong. intolerance had no place in america. i apologized a thousand times, and i don't mind apologizing over and over again. i can't erase what happened." three years later senator byrd had a politically difficult choice to make with two democratic senators vying for the party's presidential nomination. he made the same choice that ted kennedy did, and he endorsed the new guy in the senate, barack obama, over hillary clinton. senator byrd's constituents in west virginia did not lik

i mean, the only justice who had any kind of personal relationship to the death penalty was thurgood marshall, who stood with condemned people, who represented condemned people. and, of course, he was passionately oppositional to the death penalty. i think part of the challenge that we have in this country is that we've created great distance between the people we put in jails and prisons and the rest of us. we build these prisons out in the middle of nowhere. we don't make them accessible. we make it really hard for people to get inside. you've gotten inside a couple times. you talk about transparency, there's absolutely no transparency with the institutions of confinement and imprisonment in most of this country. and because of that, all we hear are the narratives about crime. >> and the politics of fear and anger have given rise to these policies like treating drug addiction as a crime rather than as a health issue. i've represented people serving life without parole for stealing a bicycle. and i will tell you - as you well know, that whenever you try to make decisions out of fear and ange

this statehouse in maryland, we have dueling monuments, if you will, because in 1996, we get thurgood marshall. and so now, the two of maryland's great supreme court justices are side-by-side, but clearly somebody over the weekend in frederick had a different idea about how to publicly enact their critique. ms. swain: we have about 10 minutes left. legacyould roger taney's be? prof. jones: he does not have a choice in the matter. after dred scott, he has tied himself to this pro-slavery nationalist movement so tightly, that movement dies with the confederacy, and so he is forever linked with that. roger taney engaged in fairly dishonest representations of history at the highest levels of government, at the highest level of the court. that cannot be undone. he has ruined the reputation of the court during that period by signaling the audacity that he and the rest of the justices could decide the most volatile political question in a way and end up in the wrong side of history. i have a portrait that is similar to the one that you showed the viewers earlier in my office. it is one that i show my
