Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has been vilified by the left for decades, but a close friend who believes he’s "our greatest living American" helped tell the justice’s story through his own words in a remarkable new book taken from 25 hours of candid discussion with the longest-serving justice.
Mark Paoletta, an attorney who served as Assistant Counsel to President George H.W. Bush and played a key role in the confirmation of Thomas, became a close friend of the justice over time. Over the past three decades, they’ve vacationed together with their families and made frequent road trips to visit a New Jersey nursing home where the Irish nuns who

The only Blacks the Left vilifies are those who escaped the plantation and found freedom as free thinking conservatives...

Agree 100%. Must read: Created Equal: Clarence Thomas in His Own Words.
Raised hard by his granddad in the Jim Crow South, Justice Thomas became an angry liberal at Yale Law, much like his friend, Tom Sowell (PIAPS was right on that score). But they both dumped all that trash to become true American patriots.
I'd like to see Clarence Thomas join Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis in leading a second Revolution to Take America Back from Obama, Soros, and other evil Global Marxists.

I still marvel at the total self control he exhibited at his hearing. Magnificent. He's getting up in years, but perhaps he can still be a factor in stopping the left from destroying us.

Justice Thomas is one of God's diamonds in the rough. He is a brilliant God-fearing American Patriot, and we, the American people, are blessed to have known him!

After so many years hate from the left, I suspect Clarence Thomas as tuned it all out. The left still brings up the phony made up Anita Hill crap. They tried the same thing with Kavaughn with the same results.

I'm halfway through the Justice's book. It is like listening to a friend to you his life story while sitting together on the back porch drinking sweet tea.

"He's not looking for affirmation from these people."
And THAT also enrages them. That Thomas doesn't need liberals and, as the article says, he "dares to have his own thoughts" assaults their vastly inflated self esteem.
Justice Thomas is a FREE American. His life is a verification that slavery has ended in America, despite liberal denials of the fact. Thomas was born before the Equal Rights Amendment passed and has lived through the slow transition of equality for Blacks. Now he sits in the highest Court in the land and is one of the most influential justices. Given Thomas' stature and standing, the Blacks that still see themselves in chains, have placed the chains on themselves by clinging to progressivism that gives no one freedom but instead places all under the thumb of an unbounded and oppressive government Master. This is the false freedom that dems have given Blacks.
Thomas puts his support in the the the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and America the greatest forces for true liberty in the world.

If you’ve watched interviews with Thomas or read them, you see that he is a joyful man full of humor and exceedingly comfortable in his own skin. After all of the vitriol hurled at him over the last 30 plus years, I find that truly amazing. God obviously has his hand on Thomas’ back.

I pray that he takes good care of his health by having regular checkups with his doctor. Scalia died of an apparent heart attack.

"Greatest"? Certainly a great man, but it is difficult to put one man on top. Thomas Sowell, Donald Trump, and many others are in the running.
