george court judge nominated by johnson he's a former congressman. he's very friendly with southern politicians. particularly friendly with richard russell the most powerful of the southern democrats. so johnson census thornberry is somebody will appease the southerners who didn't like thurgood marshall. and will ensure that fortress will be confirmed. now before johnson announces thornberry he gets on the phone with several key figures. just to get the feel them out on what they were thinking. generally when johnson would call you, this is not a two-way conversation, johnson was not soliciting information, he was basically encouraging you to think as he did. his first call go to justice fortress. he wants to ostensibly the purpose of the call is to get feedback from fortress about who would be a good replacement for fortis as associate justice but as it will be clear, johnson is already made up his mind and fortis is not basically here just to say yes. >> thornberry has some disadvantages i think the fact that he's a congressman and city councilman and state legislature, i think he would be very good on the court. and knowing every depa
