    Although I might disagree with almost every judicial opinion he has made, I admire him and have new found respect for Justice Thomas. What an amazing story

    Justice Thomas gets a lot of heat on his positions and court demeanor but I respect him for what he has accomplished and achieved. Cheers!

    "And then I had a really bad interview". Classic.

    Justice Thomas seems to be a nice man. He really achieved a lot in his life. He turned down Harvard Law School, wow?

    Awesome and very interesting man to listen to.
    I really liked hearing his point about how you don't want everyone agreeing. He spoke to disagreements sharpening reasoning skills. And on that, I could not agree more. I may not agree with many opinions by some of the left-leaning justices at times on the right. But, I can only imagine how much stronger my own arguments might become if I were to encounter any one of those justices in a discussion.

    very worthwhile to view. Thank you for posting HLS

    A very interesting man, whom I admire even if I do not share his views. As a professional advocate, however, I welcome even difficult questions from the bench. Otherwise I may be prattling on about something the court thinks is irrelevant.

    The rest of the university scholars assembled likely have a similar feeling of welcome and honor regarding Justice Clarence Thomas, a learned and good man.

    If only at least because of his rich bass voice, I wish he would question more frequently in oral argument

    As awesome as a Harvard Law School is and difficult as it is to get into ( I didn't get in) I think it is totally unhealthy for the entire Supreme Court to be dominated by three schools. I go to rank 30-40 school depending how you rate it but I think there ought to be some more variance there

    I thought he didn't do ivies? Anyone else remember that part of the book from the nine by Jeffrey Toobin?

    I was hoping he would do the visit without saying a word.

    Justice Clarence Thomas is so brave... he........upheld the status quo in EVERY decision. What a Brilliant Trailblazer for societal progress!

    There's much in Justice Clarence Thomas' story and judicial practice and philosophy I admire. But things like no tolerance for tardiness in his chambers and so forth, i.e. hyper-structure, seems to me not only excessive but actually contrary to the civilized calling of a liberal, university-like working environment that makes room for human beings and not merely humans emulating industrial machines you might say.

    Haha, he did a good job pivoting from his non questioning attitude in the court.

    Bad interview lol lol One of my favourite opinion writers... but I love Scalia's 'cuteness' and eloquence.

    Too bad it all went to his head and he messed up. He would have been good for civil rights/human rights but has loyalty to extremist ideals.
