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
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.
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.
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
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.
watching this instead of doing con law reading...worth it

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!
Oh boy…
Wow....what an impressive person.
Two big thumbs up for Justice Thomas.
(And great job by the Dean asking the questions.)
Listening in 2024.
Thanks, Justice Thomas! Informative and entertaining.
"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?
This aged horribly.

Do you still think so?

it is very interesing and to watch this^^ , broadening our knowledge, tks for sharding
If only at least because of his rich bass voice, I wish he would question more frequently in oral argument
Very integrating...thanks for sharing

wonderful, inspiring
the top judge..now that scalia is gone
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!

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.
Clarence Thomas takes over $4 Million in gifts and whines when people say he is crooked? 😂🤣😂
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.
Wow....what an impressive person.
