Clarence Thomas: “There’s this overriding public view that you’re not supposed to think this way, therefore you’re not black, therefore…”

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.

There seems to be this overwhelming pressure for us to agree with the prevailing notions which I consider almost illusory in a sense.

This Court routinely declines to provide relief to law-abiding Americans when it would actually matter, even after lower courts conspicuously flout this Court's precedents in ruling against them.

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?’
