IMO Clarence Thomas is one of the best Justices we’ve ever had - in some ways better than Scalia in faithfulness to the Constitution as written and originally understood and intended. We need four or five more just like him in the Suprme Court to steer our country back to being a Free Constitutional Republic where the Supreme Court does NOT unconstitutionally make national law and where their decisions ARE constitutionally based.
“in some ways better than Scalia in faithfulness to the Constitution”
When Scalia put the “substantive effect” commerce test on steroids to fight the War on Pot, Thomas rightly called it a “rootless and malleable standard.”
Scalia was conflicted about Wickard....
I suspect hell retire this summer.
