NAACP's Julian Bond to Colbert: Scalia is Limbaugh of Supreme Court

Civil Rights pioneer and NAACP President Emeritus Julian Bond joined Stephen Colbert on Wednesday night to discuss the current challenges to the Voting Rights Act, the landmark 1965 legislation that cleared away hurdles to voting for African Americans in states with a history of discrimination. Bond was candid with his opinions on certain Supreme Court justices, including Antonin Scalia, who he called the "Rush Limbaugh" of the court, and Justice Clarence Thomas, who he called "wrong."
