The editor of a scholarly book on the Declaration of Independence says he is angry that the publisher barred him from dedicating it to U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.

"Clarence Thomas has been the leading voice on the Declaration of Independence in the 21st century, just as Martin Luther King was in the 20th century. I found it shocking when CQ Press told me I couldn't dedicate my book to Clarence Thomas," said Scott Douglas Gerber, a law professor at Ohio Northern University in Ada, Ohio.

He cited a letter he received in June from Kathryn C. Suarez, director of reference publishing for CQ Press, who said dedicating the book to Justice Thomas would "jeopardize sales of the volume."

Get real, Ms. Suarez, this would probably cause the sales of the book to double. But like Ann Coulter says, these guys just dont get it as far as selling books tho, or else they would be selling a lot more of them...JFK

Geesh, dead, Clarence Thomas does *stand* too, therefore he isn't *sitting* then. That's when they could dedicate it.

I bet they would have let him dedicate it to a white man.
