Justice Clarence Thomas continues to demonstrate why he is the ultimate champion.
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas Delivers Powerful Opinion on Affirmative Action
In a groundbreaking decision striking down affirmative action, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has released a must-read concurring opinion that is both thought-provoking and inspiring. With his unique perspective as someone who was born into poverty in the Deep South during the Jim Crow Era, Thomas offers a poignant and powerful take on the issue.
Thomas begins his opinion by acknowledging the great failure of this country: slavery and its aftermath. He criticizes the Court’s misinterpretation of the Reconstruction Amendments, emphasizing that we should not repeat the mistakes of the past, even if we believe that our current arrangements are superior to the Constitution.
However, Thomas remains hopeful that America can move closer to a more perfect union that upholds its promise of equality, despite the ravages of past racism. He firmly believes that all individuals, regardless of race, should be treated equally before the law, as stated in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.
While Thomas expresses respect for those who hold a different opinion, he directs his sharpest words towards Justice Ketanji Brown-Jackson, the only other African American on the high court and the author of a dissenting opinion. Thomas argues that Jackson’s race-infused worldview fails to recognize the importance of personal choices and individual experiences. He warns against the dangers of relying on so-called experts to determine racial justice, as history has shown that such movements often end disastrously.
As described by popular Twitter user Comfortably Smug, this ruling is a clear example of why the Left wants Justice Thomas off the court. It is seen as an exorcism prayer to banish left-wing lunatics.
