Comment to see.
Thomas tells the truth in a low and dishonest age.
My father was at home with the idea that people in public life are often dishonest (he had a particular distaste for Walter Cronkite and regarded Martin Luther King Jr as a figure of fun). I don’t think he ever imagined that the country he lived his life in could be so steeped in mendacity.
The great legal mind of Clarence Thomas shows just how effectively simple logic cuts through the BS dressed up as legalese.
Logic! Yes! God bless him. I heard a whippersnapper disparage him – calling him “dumb”. 🙄 Simple and straight. Not one bit dumb. Praise God for him.
I suspect his early Catholic education stuck with him a bit. I can hardly wait for BLM to sing his praises.
Logic need not apply for the followers of the Left. But I have to admit, that is an awesome burn that will remain in Supreme Court documents.
Crated Equal: In His Own Words is a documentary on the life of Clarence Thomas. It is well worth viewing. Using his own words, Judge Thomas describes how his grandfather was a major influence in his life. Sen. Biden makes an ass of himself during the Thomas confirmation hearings. True to its liberal bent PBS took the film down durng Black History Month.
Justice Thomas also gave a wonderful interview a few years back to Raymond Arroyo. It was after the publication of Thomas’s first memoir, I believe around 2007. Try EWTN’s web site, as YouTube is so blatantly loaded with anti-Thomas search results that it’s a waste of time to go looking there, as I unfortunately did.

Curators at the national museum devoted to black history assembled an exhibit on Anita Hill. Anita Hill is a woman who might have had honest work as a rank-and-file attorney in Oklahoma City or Tulsa. Instead she’s had a simulacrum of an academic career because higher education is a crooked patronage mill. She has no research degree of any kind. Without one, you might land a position on the clinical faculty of a law school if you were a working practitioner in some segment of the law (which she is not). She’s currently on the arts and sciences faculty and the public policy faculty at Brandeis. Have a gander at the eight ‘scholarly’ publications she’s produced in the last 35 years. Two are book chapters on the oeuvre of someone named Mark Bradford. Anita the art critic? The best you could say about that is that the standards of contemporary art criticism are such that the utterances of someone not on the payroll cannot help but be better. (The artist in question is black and homosexual, in case you wonder why she’s interested). Another is a collection from various authors which has been ‘forthcoming’ for 12 years. Another is a speculative chapter in a compendium of feminist snoozefest, followed up with a gassy law review article on the same subject (what will dames on the bench do next, she asks). Another is a book of sob stories. Another is a tribute to a federal judge (more on ‘storytelling’) who died in 1998. Another is a long meander on educational policy hampered by a reality: Anita doesn’t know anything about the use of statistical methods in policy analysis.
So, they have this exhibit on Anita Hill, who is an inconsequential character except as an illustration of the pathology of higher education. Guess who the museum air-brushed out of history? Brandeis isn’t the only academic institution whose line of business includes employment for seedy incompetents.
