Well, both Inouye and Thurmond, while I have stark political differences with both of them, were absolutely literal Freedom Fighters, one of whom fought bravely notwithstanding overt government discrimination against his ethnicity, the other of whom voluntarily gave up a cushy judgeship to risk his life in combat. (Both of them received multiple medals, including the Purple Heart, btw). I voted Inouye since I personally found his story to be more impressive, though Thurmond is also a defensible choice.

The other three are terrible, rank HPs.

I mean, it's not like there was any ambiguity on that point, so I don't see why ypu have to hope.

Um, that was very clearly a reference to Inouye, since I mentioned "the other" had a judgeship, which Thurmond indeed had before WW2 and which Inouye never had in his life.

All HPs, Hayden least bad. Inouye lived long enough to see himself become an HP.
