Only because Clarence Thomas was Black.
Bush One also appointed David Souter, who instantly became a reliable Hard Left vote for the next 20 years.
I wasn’t talking about Bush’s bad appointments. I was highlighting that he did make a very good appointment. And we don’t know that he only appointed him because he was black.
I don’t know if Bush appointed him because he was black, or not; all I know is that he is one of the best SC justices in recent history. Sadly, as we have all seen, some of the appointments are huge disappointments. We’ve just gotten two great ones. We should get one or two more in the not too distant future. Thank GOD it’s the Senate who confirms, and not the House. (Ryan’s House wouldn’t have been any better than the upcoming one -— he would have seen to that, the snake). If Trump accomplished nothing else, SC appointments would be worth it all.
