Could only imagine what was going through his mind that day. We had to leave DC a little early because things started getting dangerous. When we got back to Delaware, our school bus was pelted with rocks. In a few weeks, Bobby Kennedy was killed. Crazy times.

Anyway, Justice Marshall was a great man, while Clarence Thomas is just an ass.
