Last week’s question was: Which Supreme Court justice received the most “no” votes during his or her Senate confirmation?
The answer: Clarence Thomas. Named by the first President Bush to the Court in 1991, Thomas was confirmed 52-48. The 48 “no” votes broke the record held by William Rehnquist, who was elevated to Chief Justice in 1986 by a vote of 65 to 33.
The randomly selected winner is … Andrew Hyman of Atlanta, Ga. Andrew wins the coveted Political Junkie button.
