Cold-button Cases?

[Paul Finkelman]

Clarence Thomas I believe argued that Griswold was wrong and implied 
that Brown and Loving were wrongly decided.  I always regretted that no 
one in the Senate had the guts to ask him point black if he thought, 
given his jurisprudence, that Loving was correctly decided.
