"I have been amazed and disappointed as to how the brilliant trail-blazing legal career of Thurgood Marshall has been portrayed by several of my colleagues."

"I guess my point is that voting restrictions today still exist."

"It took a long time. A lot of people worked hard, people gave up their lives in order that we have the right to vote and expanded the right to vote."

"I just one more time express this concern about following legal precedent and activism."
