Carrie Severino: Clarence Thomas' 30 years of fearlessness, foresight on the Supreme Court
Fox News
Thirty years have passed since Clarence Thomas' confirmation to the Supreme Court, and he has amassed a record as the court’s staunchest defender of constitutional originalism.
No justice has been more consistent in calling for the protection of individual rights established by the Constitution.
When he arrived on the court, originalism was still widely lampooned by legal academia and rejected by the vast majority of judges, with Justice Antonin Scalia the notable exception. At the beginning of his tenure on the court, Thomas was disrespected by many legal experts who dismissed him as a blind follower of Scalia.
