	Taney, Roger Brooke. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		Taney was born of a wealthy slave-owning family of tobacco farmers.
		Taney wrote much of Jackson’s message vetoing (1832) the act that rechartered the bank, and, when Louis McLane and William J. Duane refused to withdraw federal funds from the bank, Taney was appointed (1833) Secretary of the Treasury and effected the withdrawal.
		Taney felt that the police power of a state entitled it to make reasonable regulatory laws even if they appeared to override provisions of the U.S. Constitution; thus, he held that, although Congress alone had the power to regulate interstate commerce, a state might exclude a corporation organized elsewhere.

	ROGER BROOKE TANEY - LoveToKnow Article on ROGER BROOKE TANEY
		Five of the seven judges in 1837 were his appointees, and the majority of them were Southerners who had been educated under Democratic influences at a time when the slavery controversy was forcing the party to return to its original strict construction views.
		During the Civil War, Judge Taney struggled unsuccessfully to protect individual liberty from the encroachments of the military authorities.
		In the case of ex parte John Merryman (1861, Campbell's Reports, 646), he protested against the assumption of power by the President to suspend the privileges of the writ of habeas corpus or to confer that power upon a military officer without the authorization of Congress.

		Taney was admitted to the bar in 1799 and, after serving for a year in the Maryland House of Delegates, moved to Frederick, Maryland, where he had a successful private law practice for more than twenty years.
		Taney's opinion noted that the tidal flow test was reasonable for England, where "there was no navigable stream in the country beyond the ebb and flow of the tide," and even for the United States when the Constitution was adopted, and most of the navigable waters were tide-waters.
		Taney’s long and otherwise admirable career is, unfortunately, marred by his opinion in the ill-starred Dred Scott case, in which he opined that even free fls could not be citizens for purposes of diversity jurisdiction, and that Congress lacked the constitutional authority to ban slavery in territories that had not yet been admitted as states.

		Taney was torn between an institution he held in contempt and which, at the same time, he was obligated to defend as an impartial jurist; the criticism he absorbed from his judicial restraint and impartiality was unfathomable.
		Taney at one point referred to slaveholders as “those reptiles who live by trading in human flesh and enrich themselves by tearing the husband from the wife and the infant from the mother’s bosom.”[15] He concluded by adding: “A hard necessity, indeed compels us to endure the evils of slavery for a time.

	Guilford College - Political Science Research Paper
		Taney did not seem to worry about the way public opinion affected his career, and although he was indeed an honest judge trying to make logical, judicious decisions, these decisions resulted in personal attacks on him, especially in the latter part of his career.
		Taney was the sixth-generation descendant of the original Taney, an indentured servant who had settled on the same tract of land in the middle of the seventeenth century.
		Taney did not favor sudden emancipation of all slaves, and probably did not believe in complete equality either, but he did support efforts to improve relations between slaves and their masters, specifically, the way the masters treated the slaves.

		Ironically, this is the Roger B. Taney who authored the infamous 1857 "Dred Scott" decision -- that in addition to re-consigning a fl man to slavery, invalidated the Missouri compromise of 1820, which became a major precipitant of the American Civil War.
		Taney had much influence and credibility amongst his contemporaries; he was no ordinary redneck racist.
		Although much of Taney's overtly racist formal legal reasoning was repudiated by events that followed -- such as the Civil War (1861- 1865) and Reconstruction (1865-1877) -- the informal subliminal effects of it was felt throughout that era.

		Chief Justice Taney did much towards the building up of the system of practice in the Supreme Court, framing it after that of the English courts, yet so modified as to be adaptable to the changed conditions existing in the United States.
