I especially liked this one line:
"William Rehnquist was so disgusted by the decision that he referred to illegal immigrant children as "wetbacks" in conference, which angered Thurgood Marshall, the only non-white justice on the court."

I'm VERY grateful for our three liberal Justices. But, oh, if only we had another Thurgood Marshall to fight on their team!
