| | However such finding would not rise to the level of clear and convincing evidence that is required under current applicable paternity laws since any one of 8 Jeffersons could have been the father of Madison and there would be nothing to indicate it was Thomas. | | | The 8 possibilities identified by the DNA tests are Thomas, Randolph (Jefferson's brother), Randolph's 5 sons, and a cousin George and in 5 of Randolph's sons, who were in their teens or 20s when Sally Hemings was having children. | | | Since Thomas Jefferson himself had no known legitimate male descendants (his wife Martha bore six children between 1772 and her death in 1782, but only two daughters lived to adulthood), a direct comparison between his and Sally Hemings' offspring could not be made. |

| | Dear Clarence Thomas: It Happened on July 4, 1776 |
| | Thomas Jefferson, however, foreseeing a time when the concepts fundamental to the founding of America were forgotten, strongly argued that the Constitution must contain at least a rudimentary statement of rights, laying out those main areas where government could, at the minimum, never intrude into our lives. | | | In 1789, Thomas Jefferson wrote a note to James Madison about the future possibility of a president who didn't understand the principles on which America was founded. | | | Limbaugh and Thomas may soon also point out to us that the Constitution doesn't specifically grant a right to marry, and thus license that function exclusively to, say, Falwell. |

| | 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." | | | 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. | | | Because Thomas did not mouth the conventional platitudes and policies of the civil rights establishment, he was branded a traitor and worse. |

| | Lest We Forget: Clarence Thomas and the Meaning of the Constitution by Jeffrey Sikkenga |
| | Thomas Jefferson and James Madison agreed, for example, that the best guide to the Constitution is the Declaration of Independence and its philosophy of natural rights. | | | 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. |

| | Thomas Jefferson called Monticello his "essay in architecture." Reflecting the genius and versatility of its creator, Jefferson's Monticello is a monument to a scrupulous interest in architecture, landscaping, agriculture, and domestic comforts. | | | The only building in Orange County known to have been designed by Thomas Jefferson, Barboursville was constructed between 1814 and 1822 for Jefferson's friend James Barbour, Governor of Virginia (1812-1814), U.S. Senator, Secretary of War, and Ambassador to the Court of St. James. | | | Formed from Orange County in 1749, Culpeper County probably was named for Thomas Culpeper, second Baron Culpeper of Thoresway, Governor of Virginia from 1677 to 1683, whose family long held proprietary rights in the Northern Neck. |

| | The Thomas Jefferson Center for the Protection of Free Expression |
| | Announced on or near April 13 -- the anniversary of the birth of Thomas Jefferson -- the Jefferson Muzzles are awarded as a means to draw national attention to abridgments of free speech and press and, at the same time, foster an appreciation for those tenets of the First Amendment. | | | The Thomas Jefferson Center is dependent upon the generous support of individuals and foundations for the funding of many of its efforts, including the Jefferson Muzzles. | | | Further, an examination of previous Jefferson Muzzle recipients reveals that the disregard of First Amendment principles is not the byproduct of a particular political outlook but rather that threats to free expression come from all over the political spectrum. |

| | But more significantly, the source of Thomas Jefferson's "belief in divinely-bestowed, unalienable rights" proclaimed in the Declaration of Independence is utterly immaterial, because it does not resolve the real issue before us today, which is whether the defendants' avowed secular purposes are shams. | | | There is by no means a consensus, however, that the source of Thomas Jefferson's belief in divinely-bestowed, unalienable rights, to the extent this belief inspired the writing of the Declaration, n5 was the Ten Commandments or even the Bible. | | | The plaintiff, Thomas Van Orden, asks the federal courts to order the State of Texas to remove from the grounds of the State Capitol a granite monument in which the Ten Commandments are etched. |
