 | | McMillian (1992), for example, he dissented from the majority opinion that extended to prison inmates the constitution's protection against "cruel and unusual punishment." In a death penalty case, Thomas, in a separate concurring opinion, stated that a defendant's poverty or misfortunes as a child were not relevant considerations. | | | After joining the court, Thomas aligned himself with its most conservative members, frequently voting with Chief Justice William Rehnquist and most often with Associate Justice Antonin Scalia. | | | Moreover, coming close upon Bork's rejection, Thomas's nomination promised to open another round of acrimony about the direction of the court. |

| | First Principles: The Jurisprudence of Clarence Thomas [Book Review] |
| | Justice Thomas would agree with Federalist No. 78, which states that while "the courts of justice are to be considered as the bulwarks of a limited constitution against legislative en croach ments," it is the limited constitu tion itself that provides the best security against tyranny. | | | As Thomas Jefferson put it, "Though the will of the majority is in all cases to prevail, that will, to be rightful, must be reasonable; that the minority possess their equal rights, which equal laws must protect, and to violate which would be oppression." | | | Because Thomas did not mouth the conventional platitudes and policies of the civil rights establishment, he was branded a traitor and worse. |

| | AlterNet: Judging Clarence Thomas |
| | Thomas' nonsensical vote was so far over the top and totally out of line with the overwhelming evidence of racial exclusion in the case, that even the court's other hard-line conservatives, Justices Rehnquist and Scalia couldn't go along with him. | | | In trying to make sense of Thomas' doctrinaire, contrarian court votes and opinions, the simple answer is that they are payback to civil rights and civil liberties groups for trying to wreck his confirmation to the high court. | | | Though Thomas reflexive judicial salvos against prisoner rights keeps him in hot water with civil liberties groups, the issue of crime and punishment is a thorny one for blacks. |

| | The papers also noted that this is the largest advance ever paid a sitting Supreme Court justice and that the agreement with this most conservative justice on the court coincidentally came from News Corp., the leviathan media empire owned by the conservative Rupert Murdoch. | | | The defenders of Thomas' humongo advance contend that he can avoid any appearance of impropriety or conflict by simply recusing himself from any case in which Murdoch, Fox, the First Amendment, copyright law, libel, or any communications or media issues pertaining to them are ever implicated. | | | Meaning that the chances of future 4-4 decisions by the court (the legal equivalent of a rainout) are greatly increased. |

| | The Claremont Institute: Defending Thomas |
| | Thomas' recourse not only to the text of the Constitution but specifically to the founders' natural-law defense of constitutional government is fatal to liberalism's goal. | | | The American people need to be reminded of the source of their rights and persuaded that limited government is good; that the principles of the Constitution—which are the natural-law principles of the Declaration of Independence—are timeless, not time-bound; that without those principles, the noble ends set forth in the Constitution's preamble can never be achieved. | | | Savvy liberals like Reid are right to be more concerned with Thomas than Scalia because Thomas' natural-law jurisprudence represents the greatest threat to the liberal desire to replace limited, constitutional government with a regulatory-welfare state of unlimited powers. |

| | Lest We Forget: Clarence Thomas and the Meaning of the Constitution by Jeffrey Sikkenga |
| | As Justice Thomas points out, these principles are the "ideals of the Declaration of Independence." Hence he draws the reasonable conclusion that to understand the original intent of the Constitution, we must first understand the principles of the Declaration. | | | They must do more than examine legal traditions or writings of the Founders; they must carefully use their God-given reason to comprehend and apply the "self-evident" truths that form the basis of the Constitutional text they are called to interpret. | | | Before and during the Civil War, for example, Abraham Lincoln repeatedly appealed to the legal authority of the Declaration in his fight against slavery. |

| | The disagreement among state courts, and state legislatures’ attempts to circumvent public use limits on their eminent domain power, cannot obscure that the Public Use Clause is most naturally read to authorize takings for public use only if the government or the public actually uses the taken property. | | | Though one component of the protection provided by the Takings Clause is that the government can take private property only if it provides “just compensation” for the taking, the Takings Clause also prohibits the government from taking property except “for public use.” Were it otherwise, the Takings Clause would either be meaningless or empty. | | | For a law to be within the Necessary and Proper Clause, as I have elsewhere explained, it must bear an “obvious, simple, and direct relation” to an exercise of Congress’ enumerated powers, Sabri v. |
