Thomas Clarence isn't like the rest of facultyJonathan Turley – Clarence Thomas last week became cancel culture’s latest target. It’s not an unfamiliar position for the Supreme Court justice, but it generated surprising support at a leading law school. Thousands signed a petition calling for Thomas’ removal as a law lecturer at George Washington University, where I teach. The reason? His vote to overturn Roe v. Wade and his concurring opinion in that momentous case.

Matt – A video from a decade-old talk whe re Clarence Thomas answered a question about racism at Pepperdine University Law School is gaining attention again. Clarence is asked, “How should we best combat racism in our society, and does the court play a tangible role in that ongoing struggle?” His answer will not be popular with far-left, race-baiting ideologues.
