I'll try to think of more to add.

He mentioned that his Yale degree wasn’t good enough to get him a job as a lawyer in Atlanta because the affirmative action system in place (he said that the minorities were let in, and promoted with the same rules as the rich legacy students) so devalued his degree which he earned on his academics regardless of his color. But no one knew this, it made his degree worthless.

He said that later on that his Yale Law degree has been credited with getting him to where he is now. He said that this is the same degree that wouldn’t get him a job after he graduated, and that they can’t have it both ways.

This is paraphrased, any error in transcription is mine.

I saw Justice Thomas interviewed on FOX last week. He is cut from similar American stock as were the founding fathers. He is a great man and one that our people should be very proud of. It sounds as if his grandpa was also a very good and strong fellow.

I finished his book the other day.

The man is amazing, and I am very pleased that he actually did finally speak out on a few things.

I particularly appreciated the few comments that he had about that shameless fool Joe Biden.

Way to go RobFromGa. When I think back on the Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings I cannot but hold extreme contempt for the party of death, taxes and abortion (yes, death again). Paul Simon, with his neat little bow tie, essentially giving way to extreme elements that give not a whit for orignial intent. The whole affair was an eye opener, complete with the media suggestion that the “allegations are serious enough to warrant full investigation.” The sham bastard media. Nice to see us sticking it in their faces these days. They deserve it.

It was a good report on your attendance and Justic Thomas’ talk. I had the opportunity to see him interviewed by Sean Hannity - and it was also inspiring.

Did Justice Thomas mention that he loves to drive his motorhome for vacations? Whenever I think of all the perfumed princes in DC, I smile when I imagine him out on the highway wheeling along, enjoying our great country.
