Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor an incredible man from the great State of Georgia. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, a native son of Pin Point, near Savannah, was nominated to the Supreme Court by President George H.W. Bush in 1991. At that time, he was just the second Black American ever appointed to the Supreme Court, where he is now its longest serving member. Since taking the Bench, Justice Thomas has ruled on some of the most consequential cases in American history. He has safeguarded our rights by defending the principles of natural law that are central to America's founding. Justice Thomas exemplifies the American Dream, rising from humble beginnings to a seat on our Nation's highest court through hard work and dedication. There would be nothing more fitting than the Georgia State legislature finishing the job it started last year and putting a statue of Justice Thomas under the gold dome of the State capitol. Justice Thomas' legacy of service and footprint on American jurisprudence is worthy of honor and commemoration. ____________________”
