Yes, but he negated Thomas with Souter. I’m surprised he didn’t pull the Thomas nomination when the liberals howled about it.
I firmly believe that if Thomas had been white, Bush would have caved. That's what I mean when I said I think he did it for the wrong reasons. I think he only nominated Thomas because he was black, and not because of how qualified and competent he is.
As it turns out, He is the best nomination George HW Bush ever made.
