    Watching “Marshall” and I have a question for Supreme Court experts: Can anyone think of a sharper ideological swing in the replacement of a single justice than Thurgood Marshall for Clarence Thomas?

        Thurgood Marshall’s health issues and retirement in 1991 feels like a massive butterfly effect moment. If he’d hung on for a year and a half (and he did live till days into Clinton‘s presidency), there’s no Clarence Thomas, potentially no Bush v. Gore. Course of history changes.

        Is anyone ever written in depth of the pathology that affects Clarence Thomas? Has there ever been a more self hating black man who also happens to be on the Supreme Court? He should have been a beacon of hope for people of color but instead he despises his own people.

        At the time of appointment, Douglas to Stevens was similar. Over time, of course, that change didn't compare at all to Marshall-to-Thomas. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/02/18/upshot/potential-for-the-most-liberal-supreme-court-in-decades.html …pic.twitter.com/RHCde5lckP

        Can anyone think of a duo that has done more lasting harm to our government than Bushes I and II?

        They weren't actually as far apart as it seems in retrospect; certainly not as far apart as Thurgood Marshall and Thomas.

        Warren Burger for Rheinquest is right up there too.

        No. He's the prototype. He's made the conservative justices more right-wing and the centrists/liberal justices more left.
