Supreme court justices never endorse as far as I know but this is a good indication of where Clarence Thomas stands.

Remarkable.

I’ve never heard of such a thing.

Is there a message to young black women here?

Seems to be.

Ms Thomas is white.

Not to say there isn’t a lesson here for others.

"Ted Cruz has got the scars to show he has tangled with the top Republican leaders and Democrat leaders in town."

Ted Cruz was a Washington Outsider BEFORE it was fashionable and politically opportunistic to be one.

(Off topic) CNN identifies her as the wife of ... in the very first sentence. That’s not really fair.
