Today is the 29th anniversary of the day our greatest Justice of the Supreme Court, Clarence Thomas, took his seat on the highest judicial court in the great United States of America. For all his faults, President George H. W. Bush did do one very great service to our country -- he nominated and strongly supported Clarence Thomas to be a Justice on the Supreme Court despite the vicious attacks upon him during his confirmation hearings.
Justice Clarence Thomas has been a tireless and ruthlessly criticized originalist interpreter of the Constitution and of our laws. He has written 190 opinions, which is far more than any of the other justices have written. His opinions have had a strong influence on the conservative side of the Supreme Court. Justice Thomas has been more ready than any other Justice to review prior opinions he believes were wrongly decided. He is a man with a dedication to independent thinking, which makes him a spear in the side of those Democrats who insist a man is not Black unless he agrees with them. Personally, I view Justice Clarence Thomas as an unusually rational man who has earned my highest respect and gratitude for his profound service to the rights of the individual, to the rule of law, and to justice, all of which are well served by our Constitution, of which he is the foremost defender. Justice Clarence Thomas is a genuine hero.
