I wish I could have been there. I have seen Justice Thomas speak several times on CSPAN and it is always very moving. I pray for his good health and that he is on the Supreme Court for a VERY LONG time.

It was never reported in the "popular" media, nor will it ever be, but a huge part of the reason the liberals went after him with such gusto during his confirmation (hard to believe 10 years ago now...) was that he was young and they knew he would be a sane voice on the Court for a long time to come. God bless Justice Thomas. Wish we had a few more like-minded SC justices.

Justice Thomas was absolutely wonderful. He gave a very moving talk about Thomas Sowell, saying that he's the only man in history whose publisher had to slow him down to one book a year! LOL

BTW, that's the Vice President's podium -- the whole danged thing is set up with armor behind everything, including the little blue curtains! LOL What a detailed and extensive ordeal it is to deal with the Secret Service for one of these events -- but they're FANTASTIC... and thorough!

You'll be glad to know that Justice Thomas said he plans to stay on the Court for a long time. I think he said something about thirty more years, LOL.
