Clarence Thomas was a beneficiary of the “affirmative action” afforded to underqualified so-called conservatives in law schools, clerkships, judicial appointments, and the legal profession in general. The Federalist Society is more or less an affirmative action program. It has gotten to the point now that ambitious law students pretend to to far-right ideological positions they don’t hold just because the competition for clerkships is so much easier among who suck up to these extremists.
