The official reason was that Marshall had been Solicitor General when the case began. However it was also likely because there was a great deal of animosity between Marshall and the Nation of Islam. Marshall once called the Nation "a bunch of thugs organized in prisons and jails." The Nation beleived Marshall to be part of the white establishment.
