Open Letter of Justice Thomas's clerks vouching for his integrity [pdf]

• freedude 3y ago
  "Justice Thomas has never strayed from those beginnings. A bust of his grandfather—himself raised by a grandmother born into slavery—watches over his office. It is an ever-present reminder that he is no ordinary Justice. Come the first Monday in October, the Justice, born into poverty few can fathom and educated in a segregated Savannah school room, will take the bench and begin his thirty- third year on the U.S. Supreme Court. He will ask a question most haven’t considered. And he will cast his votes and write opinions based on his mind alone. We are proud to have been his clerks and to remain his friends, and we unequivocally reject attacks on his integrity, his character, or his ethics."

    When I read this quote I cannot help but think of the millions received from Kazakhstan, Russia, and Ukraine by the Bidens.
