The House, in a vote of 285-120, approved a measure to replace statues in the U.S. Capitol of Confederates and others who believed in racism. The bill specifically replaces a bust of former Supreme Court Justice Roger Taney, who authored the Dred Scott decision, with one of former Justice Thurgood Marshall, the first African American appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court. The other bill gives federal inspectors general more protections from being fired by the president.
