CNN.com - Dems'�new Senate leader criticizes Justice Thomas - Dec 5, 2004: "When asked to comment on Thomas as a possible replacement for Chief Justice William Rehnquist, Reid told NBC's 'Meet the Press': 'I think that he has been an embarrassment to the Supreme Court. 'I think that his opinions are poorly written. I just don't think that he's done a good job as a Supreme Court justice.'" Until Senator Reid specifies which opinions are poorly written, I think this should be treated as a racist statement.
