After 30 years on the U.S. Supreme Court, Justice Clarence Thomas’ influence has never been greater, and he continues to be at the center of the left's opposition.
SUPREME COURT AND CONSERVATIVE 'FORCES OF HATE' LOOKING TO UNDO PROGRESS OF THE 1960S: L.A. TIMES COLUMN"The Left is racist," Paoletta told Fox News."They expect Clarence Thomas to think the way they think a Black man should based on the color of a person's skin. Clarence Thomas for 40 years has refused to do that, and they want to destroy him. The bottom line is that Clarence Thomas doesn't care at all what they think.
and a former Thomas law clerk."They expect him as an African American to be toeing the liberal line, and he's his own man. You know, he's his own man among conservatives." He joined liberals on a separate workplace mask mandate and the"remain in Mexico" immigration asylum policy. His supporters see it as a principled stance to avoid further embroiling the court in controversy, when a less-is-best approach might have been best at this divisive time in the country.
The"chief," as he is informally known around the court, has publicly stated his long-term efforts to forge consensus with his colleagues whenever possible, show respect for precedent and preserve the court's reputation. "We actually trusted each other," Thomas said."We may have been a dysfunctional family, but we were a family, and we loved it.", which previewed the eventual outcome two months later. Internal strife over that case spilled out messily in the public, and Thomas seemed visibly frustrated.
"Look where we are, where now that trust or that belief is gone forever," Thomas said shortly after the leak became public."When you lose that trust, especially in the institution that I’m in, it changes the institution fundamentally. You begin to look over your shoulder. It’s like kind of an infidelity that you can explain ... but you can’t undo it."Thomas is not exaggerating. The leak has rocked the internal dynamics of the court that promises to carry on indefinitely.
