This weekend I put two Photo CDs online. Here's a photo of Roger Brooke Taney, the courageous fifth Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. Taney challenged President Lincoln to uphold civil liberties (Taney unsuccessfully asserted the supremacy of civilian courts over military tribunals): http://www.mccullagh.org/image/12/chief-justice-roger-taney.html Background on Taney (who hardly was a reliable champion of freedom -- even though he freed his own slaves, he wrote the decision in the Dred Scott case): http://www.encyclopedia.com/printablenew/12620.html http://www.wired.com/news/print/0,1294,47051,00.html Statue of Joan of Arc draped in an anarchist flag during a peace rally in DC: http://www.mccullagh.org/image/12/joan-of-arc.html The peace rally itself: http://www.mccullagh.org/theme/peace-march-sep01.html John Young, editor of Cryptome: http://www.mccullagh.org/image/12/john-young-cryptome.html White House under guard on afternoon of Sep. 11: http://www.mccullagh.org/image/12/911-white-house-guarded.html Watkins Glen (the state park, not the speedway): http://www.mccullagh.org/theme/watkins-glen-state-park-aug01.html Aspen, Colorado in August: http://www.mccullagh.org/theme/aspen-aug01.html The Maroon Bells Snowmass wilderness: http://www.mccullagh.org/theme/maroon-bells-aug01.html Monticello, also during the summer: http://www.mccullagh.org/theme/monticello.html -Declan ------------------------------------------------------------------------- POLITECH -- Declan McCullagh's politics and technology mailing list You may redistribute this message freely if you include this notice.
