Liz Smith-Pryor: wapo.st/3WDFb1u I was still a practicing lawyer when the great Thurgood Marshall resigned from the Supreme Court and was replaced by this guy. I recall being horrified that a titan of the Civil Rights Movement would be followed by Thomas who has proven to be much worse than I could imagine.

Justice Clarence Thomas calls criticism of him ‘nastiness’ and ‘lies’wapo.st Justice Thomas offered some of his most extensive comments since news broke last year of travel and real estate deals paid for by businessman Harlan Crow.

And it wasn’t like it wasn’t clear he was awful in 1991. Many of us recall Anita Hill’s testimony during Thomas’ confirmation hearings.

But don’t forget he was Reagan’s head of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission not because he was a great lawyer but because he was one of the few Black conservatives they could find.
