3/6     "I realize that it is an unpopular and unhumanitarian position, for
        which I have been excoriated by 'liberal' colleagues but I think
        Plessy v. Ferguson was right and should be reaffirmed."
        --William Rehnquist, 1952
        \_ For those who don't want to look it up, Plessy v. Ferguson was
           the decision that said "seperate but equal" was a-ok.
        \_ "The bald statement that Plessy was right and should be
            reaffirmed, was not an accurate reflection of my own
            views at the time." --William Rehnquist, 1986
            \_ I don't get it?
               \_ Rehnquist claimed later that he had only prepared the
                  original memo at the request of Justice Jackson (who he
                  was clerking for) and that he didn't personally agree.
                  \_ Yeah. As I recall Roberts tried that excuse as well.
