Address at the Ceremonies Honoring the Chief Justice Taney by Earl Warren

United States Supreme Court Chief Justice Earl Warren delivers a speech at the ceremonies held in Frederick, Maryland that honored former Chief Justice Roger Brooke Taney (Class of 1795). Warren, who offers a brief overview Taney's legal and political career, comments on Taney's judicial philosophy as well as compares Taney with former Chief Justice John Marshall. "Few men in American life - and surely no Justice of the Supreme Court - have been so grossly misrepresented as Taney," as Warren explains.
