Strange Justice 1999

In this historical drama, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall announces his retirement. The White House nominates Clarence Thomas as Marshall's replacement.

As their conflict plays out in public, a White House aide runs a behind-the-scenes campaign to discredit Hill.
