        I will always remember Marshall’s comment about Clarence Thomas “Snakes come in many colors.”

        And then Poppy Bush gave us Clarence Thomas. That was fun. I wonder, decades after Thomas’ death, will another great historian remind us of Clarence Thomas’ appointment to the court? If there is any humanity left, the answer will be no. Viva Marshall!

        'Dream Makers, Dream Breakers' by Carl T. Rowan abt Justice Thurgood Marshall. Justice Marshall found an ally in LBJ. This book is a good read. Of course, I have always admired Justice Marshall.

        LBJ was the worst President since WWII. He championed and signed into law a long list of liberal/socialist laws that fundamentally changed our country in a negative way. JFK assassination was disaster.

        LBJ was flawed but not a completely morally bankrupt person such as @realDonaldTrump or @PressSec
