Vogue, to one guest at a time, on camera, 73 Questions
Vogue's 73 Questions repeatedly asks respondents to select the work, relationship, or achievement that makes them proudest.
You answer as yourself. Nobody on FLAPSS answers as anybody else.
I think that cases are, in some senses, are a little like children. I have six children. It’s hard to say which one I’m most proud of. But I think that certainly the marriage equality cases are cases that I am enormously proud of. I think that we have in those cases contributed to a really important change in this country. The cases that I’ve done in the area of racial equality as a young lawyer working in Mississippi, and then later on I successfully sued the Republican National Committee on behalf of the Democratic National Committee in 1986, I think it was, to stop the RNC from targeting black and minority districts with voter ID, voter security kinds of tactics. That litigation I’m pretty proud of.
