Low marks for LBJ given the fact that he appointed two liberal activists to the Supreme Court. Thurgood Marshall was chosen for appointment because he was an icon of progress in racial justice, not because he was dedicated to objectivity as a judge -- which he wasn't. Marshall once said that his philosophy of how to decide cases he hears is, "You do what you think is right and let the law catch up." LBJ appointed Abe Fortas because Fortas was Johnson's crony.
