We almost got Father Thomas instead of Justice Thomas. Clarence Thomas originally intended to become a priest, before leaving the seminary over what he saw as the Church’s failure to stand forcefully enough against racial injustice. It’s one of the remarkable turns in an extraordinary American life. Order the... show more

Clarence Thomas grew up in crushing poverty. He studied to become a priest. He became a college radical and even found himself in a riot in Harvard Square. His journey to becoming one of America’s great conservative jurists is extraordinary. That’s the story I tell in my new book. Pre-order at

Justice Scalia never received the level of hate that Justice Thomas gets because the left sees him as a traitor for being a black conservative. In response, Justice Thomas told me: “The fact that they have all this vitriol is a white flag that they have no argument.” More in my new book on Clarence Thomas at

Why did I name my new book about Clarence Thomas Going Further? Because no Justice has been more willing to ask: what if the precedent is wrong? Thomas is willing to go further: back to the text, back to the original understanding, back to the Constitution. Pre-order at

If Clarence Thomas were a liberal, “C.T.” would get the RBG treatment—T-shirts, schools, honorary degrees, the whole thing. But almost nobody tells the story of how he became Clarence Thomas: his grandfather, hard work, discipline, and the upbringing that made him a conservative. That’s why I wrote this book.

Justice Clarence Thomas on the moment Thomas Sowell changed everything: A friend called him about a Wall Street Journal review and said, “There’s another black guy like you. His name is Thomas Sowell.” Thomas got the book (Race and Economics), read it like a man dying of thirst in the desert, and said: “Finally, somebody was telling the truth.” That book started a friendship that has lasted over 40 years.

The radical left is directing a political smear job at Justice Clarence Thomas. Why? Because Justice Thomas is one of greatest Supreme Court justices to ever serve and the radical left despises him because he is black, conservative, and disagrees with left wing orthodoxy.

🚨 CLARENCE THOMAS DROPS TRUTH ON THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas just delivered a powerful defense of America’s founding document: He emphasized the beauty and importance of the Declaration of Independence, especially its opening statement that we are endowed by our Creator with unalienable rights. Thomas didn’t hold back, directly criticizing Progressivism for actively opposing the core principles of the Declaration: Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. He made it clear that the progressive movement fundamentally rejects the idea of God-given, unalienable rights in favor of government-granted privileges that can be taken away at any time. Justice Thomas continues to be one of the clearest, strongest voices on the Court defending originalism and the true meaning of our founding. The Declaration isn’t just old words on paper, it’s the soul of America. Unalienable rights come from God, not government. Well said, Justice Thomas

Only on Verdict can Justice Clarence Thomas seamlessly tie in how Buc-ee's is a “destination” with how important the Constitution is for everyone. “It's that truck driver's constitution. It's that school teachers' constitution. It's not the preserve of court intellectuals and law professors.” Order my new book on Clarence Thomas at
