Thurgood Marshall: Martin Luther King. Great leader. But he would dump all his legal work on us, including the bills. Oh, I had a lot of fights with Martin about his theory of disobeying the law. You see, I didn't believe in that. My approach was to use the law... not to break it. I told Martin: "You have two rights: you have the right to disobey the law, you also have the right to go the jail for it". And you know Martin kept talking to me about Henry David Thoreau's theory of civil disobedience. I would remind him, "Thoreau wrote Civil Disobedience IN JAIL!".
