The Real Clarence Thomas BY JOHN YOO

His fidelity to the Constitution often leads to results liberals like

The book honestly and openly denies his former employee Anita Hill's accusations of sexual harassment, which almost derailed his appointment to the nation's highest bench. Liberals now are girding to insinuate that Justice Thomas is so angry about the personal attacks on him during his confirmation hearings that he must be unfit to sit on the bench.

Critics ignore the unique, powerful intellect that Justice Thomas brings to the court. He is the justice most committed to the principle that the Constitution today means what the Framers thought it meant.

By forswearing the role of coalition builder or swing voter--a position happily occupied by Justice Anthony Kennedy--Justice Thomas has used his opinions to highlight how the latest social theories sometimes hurt those they are said to help.

Justice Thomas is an admirer of the work of Friedrich Hayek and Milton Friedman, both classical liberals. His firsthand experience of poverty, bad schools and crime has led him to favor bottom-up, decentralized solutions for such problems.

"While the romanticized ideal of universal public education resonates with the cognoscenti who oppose vouchers," Justice Thomas wrote, "poor urban families just want the best education for their children, who will certainly need it to function in our high-tech and advanced society."

it was gonna be a bunch a hooey balonie.

What was that he wrote.."the book honestly and openly denies the accusations by Anita Hill"!

HOw does this guy get by with such Blatant Disingenuousness? Oh, right..he doesn't have to make sense, he's frw blowhard.

US safe from terrorists.

on page 360 of the Mayer/Abramson book 'Strange Justice' there's the story right at the end about thomas saying to his aides in response to journalists questions about moderating his opinions or evolving as a supreme court justice..on the contrary, thomas told his aides, not only is he not going to mederate his opinions or evolve, but it's going to take him '43 years (thomas was 43 years old at confirmation) to get even' with america...
john yoo must have missed that little gem (and how a man who says he's going to use his position on the supreme court to 'get even' with his country yet provoke absolute no public reaction must be one of the most bizarre oversights in all of history- millions of people have read 'strange justice')

Here's a thread that will explain how much harm those two did, they are as much destructive knuckleheads as Thomas is a liar. Classical liberals, good one. And I'm wondering, was John Yoo in the room, or is he hauling water here like he did for * when he threw it on the Constitution?

...white property owning males to be God's gift to America? What a dope!

He is a disgrace to ALL PEOPLES of this country.

...beloved, misunderstood Justice Thomas. A man smart enough to realize he is a token, but not smart enough to transcend it.
