Clarence Thomas Nominated to the Supreme Court

Thurgood Marshall announced his retirement from the Supreme Court today. On a court that's leading to the conservative right, his departure signals a major change for the court. President Bush said he would pick someone representative of all Americans. But should that person be black? Well, I am very pleased to announce that I will nominate Clarence Thomas to serve as Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court. Harvard Law Professor Randall Kennedy is nominated.
