For some context, let's remember that #Strom #Thurmond so detested Abe Fortas on #SCOTUS, he screened #pornography on the Senate floor (since Fortas voted w/ majority to allow #pornographic films), calling it the #Fortas #Film #Festival. Fortas #resigned the following year, after a personal donor got arrested for stock fraud & #Nixon's AG threatened to #prosecute Fortas' wife for #tax evasion. He later argued cases before the #court! #impeach #clarence #thomas #now https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abe_Fortas#Fortas_Film_Festival
