Mandatory Busing in the Good Ol' US of A

Has anyone, pray tell, looked at the agenda of the late Thurgood Marshall, and come to the conclusion that the gentleman, formerly of the high court (as in Supreme Court, duh!) was a blooming idiot? It is of this person's (yes, your typcial V'er on Themes and AMs) opinion that he personally drove through 'legislation' in a democratic-controlled congress - never mind separation of powers, mind you - the need to 'bus' students eons and further away from their destinations just to 'prove something'?

Help me out, here. I'm getting really cynical in my old age and wondering gets me in trouble ... Then, again, I'm already in trouble, and stay as such, perpetually ... ; )
