Edit

{{editprotected}} Another {{correction}}-worthy error. I don't see any mention of the Supreme Court in the sources, and in any event, Byrd was most definitely not the only senator to oppose either Marshall or Thomas: per Wikipedia's sources, 11 senators voted against Marshall and 48 against Thomas.

Not done @Heavy Water: Of the eleven who voted against Marshall, only two (besides Byrd) were still in the Senate at the time of Thomas' nomination. The two nominations were 24 years apart, afterall. The two were Strom Thurmond and Fritz Hollings. I confirmed they both voted yea on Thomas. So Byrd was indeed the only senator to vote nay on both. I do not know where the author sourced this information (I can't read the NYT source). --SVTCobra 10:05, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

Ohhh, only senator to vote no on both. Perhaps that sentence ought to have had "both" in it. Oh well. Thanks, Heavy Water (talk) 13:34, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
