    Twelve of the 14 Justices appointed after Marshall were nominated by a Republican.
    I count 11 of 13. Who's the 14th? Bork? Oh, I missed one. Burger.

    Blackmun, Harry A.
    Powell, Lewis F., Jr.
    Burger
    Rehnquist, William H.
    Stevens, John Paul
    O’Connor, Sandra Day
    Scalia, Antonin
    Kennedy, Anthony M.
    Souter, David H.
    Thomas, Clarence

    Ginsburg, Ruth Bader
    Breyer, Stephen G.
    Alito, Samuel A., Jr.
    Roberts, John

    Edit, forgot Burger.

    The Democrats appointed 14 justices before they appointed Marshall. They had 15 of 19 justices from 1937 to 1967. The Republicans only nominated 9 before they got to Thomas.

      I keep thinking you've posted the dumbest thing I've ever read, but then you have to go and try to break your own record.

        I don't see what's so shocking about it.

        I've seen plenty of ladies like that.

        You haven't?

              52 to 48.

              Which one would you say was the racist party? I mean come on here. Republicans supported Marshall far more then Democrats supported Clarence Thomas.
              1967 Republicans =/ 1990 Republicans.

              Do you really believe I'd never heard of Thurgood Marshall, given that Thomas was appointed to replace him?
              Given your general ignorance, and your first point, yes, it is a very simple assumption to make.

              You are the one who wrote that Thomas was the first black man appointed to the Supreme Court. For you to claim that you know this to be false but made that statement anyways means that you are willing to make patently false statements as part of your "arguements"

              Which would be proof of what other have been saying in this thread, that you are a liar.

              That, or your stupid. Which goes back to Rufus' initial question to you.

                GePap, GePap, try to keep up: we've established beyond a doubt that Ben's a liar; the question is now one of "and stupid," not "or stupid."

                    I can't believe you brought up an argument from years ago that you were still smarting over.

                        Ben loves Thomas, despite all his baggage (sexual harassment, heavy porn user) because, like Ben, he's conservative, he's against Roe v. Wade, and he's a Catholic.

                          Geez. I thought it was clear that Anita Hill lied about everything. He's not had any issues before or since, so I'm more inclined to believe Thomas then Hill. Still sickens me what they tried to do to the man.

                          Why do I like him? I had a chance to read his memoirs. I still remember the phrase his grandfather taught him, "old man can't is dead".

                          I like him because of his tenacity, and his character. He's one of the folks on my short list of folks I'd love to meet.

                              That is also correct. Wow, you said one correct thing. Hell must be freezing over.
