Clarence Thomas: “Border officers did not have the burden to establish by clear and convincing evidence that Lau had committed a crime…”

It is unfortunate that the Court chose to intervene at the request of a convicted murderer to correct the Eleventh Circuit's inconsequential foot fault.

I said, ‘What if they allowed me in but said I couldn't go to certain floors? That would be wrong.’

Then my question is, why is it then that you have a problem with me embracing certain ideas in certain books? What's the difference?’

I am not sure that today’s opinion will stand the test of time.
