Subject: RE: BS: The silence of Clarence Thomas

Try doing a web search: you'd be amazed at the facts available to you. Plenty more where this came from;

The American Bar Association rating of Thomas was the least favorable of any confirmed Supreme Court nominee dating back to the Eisenhower administration (most nominees receive unanimous "well qualified" evaluations). Merida, Kevin and Fletcher, Michael. Supreme Discomfort, p. 398 (Random House 2008).
