Thurgood Marshall — the first Black Supreme Court Justice and the lead

end racial segregation in the 1950s and 60s, Thomas wrote.
Federal courts have limited power to grant equitable relief, "not
the flexible power to invent whatever new remedies may seem useful at
the time," he said, justifying his opinion to keep a predominantly white
congressional district in South Carolina.

The term equity is not in the Constitution.
