“President George H.W. Bush nominated Thomas on July 8, 1991 to the seat vacated by Thurgood Marshall.”
Why it was flagged
The widely documented nomination date is July 1, 1991 (the day after Thurgood Marshall's retirement announcement), not July 8, 1991. The same incorrect date also appears in the source note on line 33 of the frontmatter ("the July 8, 1991 nomination").
Why it was dismissed
Verified directly against the cited source (Federal Judicial Center, Biographical Directory of Article III Federal Judges, https://www.fjc.gov/history/judges/thomas-clarence): the FJC record states 'Nominated by George H.W. Bush on July 8, 1991, to a seat vacated by Thurgood Marshall.' July 1, 1991 is the date Bush publicly announced his intent to nominate Thomas; July 8, 1991 is the date the formal nomination was transmitted, which is what the FJC's official judicial-service record documents and what this page and its source note cite. No change needed.
