        No. Marshall was our ONLY African-American Supreme Court Justice. Thomas is our first coon Justice.

        Even if you don't like Thomas, that’s a nasty thing to say. 😕

        But what Johnson said to associates at the time was pretty offensive and would cause heads to spin these days.

        You mean his racist comments? LBJ would do or say anything to anyone to get what he wanted. If he had to use those words with southerners...

        damn it if he didn't pass Civil Rights and Voting Rights! In spite of those words to those people, LBJ was no racist.

        Are you familiar with Thomas' views? A more regressive hypocrite can't be found. Opposes Affirmative Action but used it himself. Fraud.

        And let him choke on the pubic hairs on his Coke! He is more regressive than Scalia was!
