Justice Clarence Thomas is celebrating America’s 250th birthday by urging Americans to return to our nation’s founding principles.
Thomas has been one of the U.S. Supreme Court’s most steadfast constitutionalist judges since being nominated to the Court by former President George H.W. Bush in 1991.
Now the Court’s fourth longest-serving justice, Thomas was famous for his 17 years of near silence on the bench during the Court’s oral arguments, stating he doesn’t find them particularly helpful. Of course, Thomas made his thoughts perfectly clear in numerous well-written and convincing opinions in his 34 years on the high Court.
