Eugene Volokh writing at The Volokh Conspiracy: "James E. Graves, Jr., a Mississippi Supreme Court Justice, has been nominated to serve on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit . . . In 2004, Justice Graves took the view that a judge was not constitutionally protected against being disciplined for saying . . .  that 'gays and lesbians should be put in some type of mental institute' . . . But in 2009, Justice Graves took the view that a judge was indeed constitutionally protected against being disciplined for saying . . .  that 'White folks don?t praise you unless you?re a damn fool,' and 'If you have your own mind and know what you?re doing, they [white folks] don?t want you around.'"
