I read the autobiography of Clarence Thomas about five years ago. He is an amazing jurist who is content on being a judge of the constitution as it was written, deriding the notion that it’s some kind of “living” document subject to the tortuous interpretation of “sinless” men. I’ll offer a couple quotes that should engender confidence, knowing that his decisions aren’t arrived at by a penchant to take Peter’s rights and give them to Paul.
“I have to remind myself that I am only a judge.”
“We interpret and apply written law to the facts of particular cases.”
“I don’t put myself in a category. Maybe I am labeled as an originalist or something, but … I don’t feel I have any particular right to put my gloss on your constitution. My job is simply to interpret it.”
“It never ceases to amaze me that the courts are so willing to assume that anything that is predominantly black must be inferior … It should by now be clear that the existence of one race schools is not by itself an indication that the State is practicing segregation.”
Judge Clarence Thomas believed in equality under the law promised by the constitution. He knew the constitution was based on the moral base of freedom of expression, that the framers desired a nation free from the rule of self-righteous men, a nation who held its passions in check by dedication to Bible-based awareness of right and wrong.
Today he stands as the last of a bygone era of humble prudent men who love America for what has been promised, that is freedom over your life. I salute Clarence Thomas for his unwavering support of our existence as a nation and for humbly accepting his role as keeper of our republic.
