Clarence Thomas

• November 8 -- No
More Clarence Thomases!
Some advice for Democrats.

• August 19 -- Adam Cohen’s
Constitutional Wrongs
An editorial by Adam Cohen uses a tour of Philadelphia’s new Constitution
museum to accuse Justice Scalia and Justice Thomas of scuttling constitutional
rights. A former lawyer for the Southern Poverty Law Center, Cohen’s one of a
few Times editorial board members with liberal backgrounds.
• July 31 -- The Times Names Two
Managing Editors
In a surprise move, the Times names not one but two managing editors, Jill
Abramson and John Geddes. Abramson is co-author of "Strange Justice," a
biography of Clarence Thomas that criticized Democrats for not looking hard
enough into Thomas' sex life before his confirmation.
• June 30 -- Bill
Keller Stands Up For Discrimination
Columnist Bill Keller, Howell Raines’ possible successor, sounds downright
Rainesian on race issues. Keller’s Sunday op-ed lauds discrimination and calls
Clarence Thomas “a black jurist of questionable distinction.”
