MD Removes Taney Statue From State House Grounds In The Dark Of Night

Ok, this is just getting creepy.
   The very fact that this is happening all at once, in a kind of spasm, is creeping me out almost more than anything else. And, again, I'm not even firmly against removing such statues. C'ville voted to remove the Lee statue in due course after due deliberation. But this scramble to suddenly take down statues right and left--and now expanding the targets beyond Civil War figures per se... This just seems bizarre to me. Though Scott v. Sanford really is an embarrassment, of course.
   It's some consolation that this may be happening to keep the hard right away, because no one wants another C'ville-type event in their neck of the woods. A bit of poetic justice.
