Yes Clarence Thomas is a very originalist Supreme Court Justice
indeed! I haven't heard justice Thomas speak much, but his
opinion writing is great, with both feet planted on the center
of a rock solid US Constitution.
This book is right on track, and we should thank the author
of "Keeper of the Flame" for producing this much needed book
which happens to be an effective `rebuttal' of the prejudice
and UGLY confirmation hearings that Clarence Thomas was
subjected to..
The mind of Clarence Thomas is very well sharpened..
A strong intellect such as he possesses garners facts..
just the facts..then it digests, develops and communicates
very consistent rulings as he has done throughout his tenure
as a modern era Supreme Court Justice.
Justice Thomas' Jurisprudential history the author has shown
clearly in this book to inform us in this most succinct and
powerful way. This book is indeed quite fascinating.
The author is very qualified to write on Supreme Court's
degree of departure from the required conformance to the
US Constitution, and Clarence Thomas' tendency to defend
the Original Intent of the Constitution in his opinions,
dissents and rulings. The Author is a long time professor
of constitutional law, and has argued on the appellate level,
including some cases argued before the US Supreme Court!
In my view, no one reading this book through should ever fail
to gain a feeling of profound respect and appreciation for
Clarence Thomas' jurisprudence, driven in the center lane
of "Constitutional Originism' -- he does his utmost to defend
the US Constitution he knows profoundly, from being trampled
upon by efforts of other justices..even judges from lower
courts, to "make laws" from the bench by judicial wordsmithing.
Again, Great book!! Talk about food for legal thought!!!
