Justice Clarence Thomas maintains an originalist focus on the people and their problems as he considers the cases they bring to the Supreme Court, according to a new biography on the court’s longest-serving member.
“The People’s Justice,” published Tuesday by Regnery Gateway, highlights a dozen disputes to show how Justice Thomas relies on the original meaning of the terms and ideas expressed in the Constitution in interpreting laws. Written by Judge Amal Thapar of the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, the book explores the justice’s insights into the cases argued before the court.
Judge Thapar was the first appellate court nominee appointed by President Donald Trump in 2017. He was also on Mr. Trump’s Supreme Court short-list. ProPublica reported that GOP megadonor Harlan Crow paid tuition at Hidden Lake Academy and Randolph-Macon Academy for Justice Thomas’ great-nephew, whom the justice took in to raise at the age of 6.
The New York Times followed with a piece critical of Justice Thomas and other Republican appointees collecting generous salaries to teach courses at George Mason University’s Antonin Scalia School of Law.
