Thurgood Marshall argued and won Brown v. Board of Education. He had possibly one of the most distinguished law careers in American history. Before serving on the Supreme Court, Thurgood Marshall was appointed to and served on United States Court of Appeals. He was a judge at the federal level. While he was a judge at the federal level, he wrote 112 opinions on the court (none of which were overturned).

In contrast, Hillary Clinton served a minor role in the Watergate scandal and authored some works on children's rights, never arguing a major case. She only became an influential attorney because of her marriage and various charity work. Her Senate race was against a weak opponent in an overwhelmingly democratic state. She has never had any judicial experience.
