In DC we have Congresscritters re arranging statues in town. Eleanor Holmes Norton (the non voting DC representative in the House) wants to move a statue of Frederick Douglass from it's current location (1 Judiciary Square) to some place inside the Capitol.
Douglass is an inspiring American from the Civil War era, and fully deserves a statue. I'm not knocking Douglass. But I'd just as soon have his statue out in the open where I can see it, rather than stuck away inside the Capitol where I cannot. They don't let citizens inside the Capitol building anymore.
Plus, we have lots of serious issues that Congress is neglecting. But they have time to re arrange the statues while headed full speed for that iceberg.
