2 titles by/about Clarence Thomas, one inscribed to Ruth Bader Ginsburg:
1. MERIDA, KEVIN, and MICHAEL A. FLETCHER. Supreme Discomfort: The Divided Soul of Clarence Thomas. New York: Doubleday, 2007. Hardcover, dust jacket. FIRST EDITION, PRESENTATION COPY INSCRIBED TO RUTH BADER GINSBURG (as "Justice Ginsburg").
2. THOMAS, CLARENCE. My Grandfather's Son: A Memoir. New York: HarperCollins, 2007. Hardcover, dust jacket. FIRST EDITION, RUTH BADER GINSBURG'S COPY.
Clarence Thomas joined the Supreme Court just two years before Ruth Bader Ginsburg; before that, the two judges served together on the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for more than a year. Justice Thomas's birthday and the Ginsburg's wedding anniversary was the same day, and each never failed to remember the other over the years. In a remembrance of Ginsburg for the Supreme Court Historical Society, Thomas writes, "Justice Ginsburg and I often disagreed, but at no time during our long tenure together were we disagreeable with each other. She placed a premium on civility and respect."
