helms's votes on black federal judicial nominees a user by the name of is trying to edit war a removal of my credible information about how helms voted for african american supreme court justice clarence thomas's confirmation in this is not a wp synth which is what he's trying to say i'm not stating material not explicitly stated by the source it explicitly states that he voted for thomas on the two references i provided the section has a sentence that reads that helms blocked black judges from being considered for the federal bench however it makes no mention of how he voted to confirm clarence thomas an african american to the supreme court a federal court in other words helms did vote for a black federal judicial nominee that sentence standing alone leaves the misleading impression that he opposed all black candidates for federal judgeships when it is not the case i'm just balancing the article out if you're reading this and disagree with me do not revert my changes or i'll report you for edit warring you don't need to break the rr to be blocked try to reach a consensus first try to compromise i'm a reasonable guy regards
