ICYMI: I wrote about the very different men to hold “the Black seat” at SCOTUS, and why KBJ’s confirmation both will mean its possible end and finally showcase at the Court the multitudes that Black America contains https://t.co/efeSzMQEA9 — PolitiTweet.org

But now, after 30 years, Kentaji Brown Jackson’s ascension will correct the imbalance that has been muffling a sizable portion of the Black voice at the highest court in the land https://t.co/efeSzMQEA9 — PolitiTweet.org

Hayes Brown @HayesBrown

Thomas is definitely the most conservative justice on the bench. But it would be wrong to say he represents -none- of Black America. A recent poll found that 18% of Black respondents had a favorable view of him, so nearly one-in-five https://t.co/Lorb09zmTp https://t.co/BUCgBXsfuL — PolitiTweet.org

Hayes Brown @HayesBrown

Thurgood Marshall, the first to hold the “Black seat” on SCOTUS, was a liberal icon. When he retired, he wasn’t about to support just any Black replacement. But GHWB picked Clarence Thomas, making him the sole Black voice at the Court for a generation https://t.co/efeSzMQEA9 https://t.co/2gjJxXik8Y — PolitiTweet.org

Hayes Brown @HayesBrown

@JStephenClark Yeah it’s one of the weird quirks about this issue. In that same poll as the 25% conservative responses, only 7% IDed as Republican ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ — PolitiTweet.org

Hayes Brown @HayesBrown

@JStephenClark This was cut from the piece but he recently had an 18% approval rating among Black respondents polled. Which isn’t a lot but still nearly one-in-five. And about 25 perfect of Black Americans surveyed in another poll call themselves “conservative” — PolitiTweet.org

Hayes Brown @HayesBrown

NEW from me: Thurgood Marshall was the first to hold the “Black seat” at SCOTUS. His successor, Clarence Thomas, was his polar opposite. And now, once KBJ is confirmed, we’ll finally have the complexity of Black America represented at the Court https://t.co/efeSzMQEA9 — PolitiTweet.org
