For all of us who have had to file Real Financial Disclosure Reports annually, subject to multiple layers of review, his #lies are beyond the pale. https://int.nyt.com/data/documenttools/clarence-thomas-financial-disclosure-2022/9899f63497fcfea9/full.pdf #thurgoodMarshall #SCOTUS #corruption #ethics #integrity #truth #justice #authoritarianism

this day in 1908, heroic Civil Rights activist, attorney, US Supreme Court Justice & namesake of my alma mater college at UCSD, Thurgood Marshall was born.
character, integrity & jurisprudence, vacant in the conservatives Justices we have today!
may hearts open, may sanity arise, & may more Justices like Thurgood Marshall rise up & be seated on the Bench.

Happy Birthday to Thurgood Marshall, born in Baltimore, Maryland, #OnThisDay in 1908.
As Director-Counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, Marshall successfully argued many civil rights cases in the Supreme Court, including Brown v. Board of Education. In 1965, LBJ appointed him as US Solicitor General, and in 1967, LBJ appointed him Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, where he served for 24 years.

Just read the @Teri_Kanefield #longRead post about #ThurgoodMarshall.
Highly recommend. Covers the early career of Marshall from attending law school to the types of cases where, bit-by-bit, whittling away at #SeparateButEqual worked toward, eventually, #BrownVBoardOfEducation.

The CJ’a tribute is oddly timed.And the cloaking of this message in the history of the Little Rock school case and the legacy of #ThurgoodMarshall whose work was centrally devoted to a vision of equality,justice & opportunity fundamentally at odds w/the project of Roberts’Court..

Wish I’d just poured another glass of bubbly. But I made the mistake of reading the first line of Chief Justice Roberts’ Year-End Report. Lots of Little Rock and Brown. And even a photo of #ThurgoodMarshall. So you know things are dire. More tomorrow…https://www.supremecourt.gov/publicinfo/year-end/2022year-endreport.pdf

Sad news.
“Cissy” Suyat Marshall, the widow of the late Justice Thurgood Marshall, who was the first Black justice to serve on the Supreme Court, died on Tuesday in Falls Church, Virginia, the court announced. She was 94.
