we also know, now, that clarence thomas was confirmed during that hearing.by most accounts, pretty much all of the accounts on the hearing i had lost because he was confirmed. that was not the end of my story. that did not stop me from seeking to understand what had happened on october 1991 in washington, d.c. almost immediately when i returned home, i began hearing from the victims who experience bullying and incest to intimate partner violence to domestic abuse of all kinds and of course harassment. many people wanted help or had questions about how to keep others from experiencing what they have endured. i had to figure out how i would respond. i studied civil rights and practiced parts of my early career, but i had moved on. not only from the experience of harassment, but the context that had allowed it to happen. when i was faced with all of those letters, all of those calls, all of those people, i had a weighty choice to make. returning to become a crusader. i had a choice at that point after the hearing. what i become a scholar? or what i take on the

are so happy that you are here to help us celebrate the occasion of the 30th anniversary of clarence thomas's confirmation on the supreme court. we have an outstanding series of panels exploring justice thomas's impact. the moderator of our first panel is john yu, a professor at the university of california at berkeley law school. he is a political author and commentator. he served at the justice department during the bush administration and clerked for justice thomas. i turn it over to you. for justice thomas. i turn it over to you. john: i would like to thank john malcolm for putting me on the schedule at 8:30 in the morning after i flew from california. it is 5:30 my time. this is the revenge of the civil war and rafters. congratulations for your new president, just announced. you might have heard this nice jazz music when we were coming in. i assume it is all going to be changed to banjos and texas music. i want to thank all the judges for participating. i was expecting that it would be extremely difficult, not having been a judge myself, i expected them to make demands, yellow, scream --

claremont, whom i met you is a go judicial conference that was later outlawed, called understanding clarence thomas: the jurisprudence of original meaning, which is a thorough rundown. the basic idea of justice thomas's descent on u.s. term limits is all powers not delegated to the united states by the constitution nor prohibited by it to the state are reserved to the states or the people, or the 10th amendment should have allowed the state to add certain additional qualifications for members of congress. article 1 said the only qualification for congress be a person be at least 25 years old, a citizen of the united states for a period of time, and an inhabitant of the state. the question was whether the people of arkansas validly enacted a state constitutional amendment that said if a person had been in congress more than -- i think it was three terms -- if they wanted to run again for the office they had to do it by write-in ballot. it did not take them off the ballot, the voters had to deliberately choose them. justice stevens goes into original meaning at great length. justice thomas goes into

cannot forget that the real in your young faces when you came face-to-face with bob moore or clarence thomas scalia. today i encounter lawyers all over the country including members of the cabinet, public secretaries, prominent lawyers who attended those summer parties as young students. they cannot wait to tell me what an inspiration that afternoon was for them. many of you are here tonight. this is just a part of barbara's legacy. i never cared for the term lecture. it sounds too much like colonoscopy or any recent speech by president biden. [laughter] [applause] so i prefer to think of this as a remembrance. so in preparing for this evening i thought i might try to channel barbara and what she might think and say about the state of politics and society in america today at her life not been so brutally ended on september 11. i have no doubt she would have a lot to say to us so i limit these imaginary insides to four subjects. america's standing and stature in the world and in the hearts of its people. barbara, like her fellow texans, love this country and was proud to be an american. she b

and clarence thomas was the first justice to point it out.his was the foundation then of the most recent espinoza versus montana decision. i think this really should be put in his when column -- win column. >> another big win for the justice, and mitchell versus helm, he says voucher cases say, the reason it is ok to give money to the religious schools is that the government is making the decision, the parents, perfectly logical, then of course the question is what about when the government is? he says in the case, we shouldn't require all the establishment clause requires -- this neutrality towards religion. if you read through the lutheran case and espinoza, i think the majority of the court now embraces that. and espinoza, the chief talks about all kind of programs where it's clear the money was going straight to religious schools. and reservations. that is groundbreaking. it is huge. you think about all the kinds of -- the cares act, for example. cares act, tons of direct funding of religious schools, direct funding of churches, to keep t

we should not be blocked out from seeing what is going on with clarence thomas the supreme court. host: bonnie from maryland on the republican line. good morning. caller: i don't know -- anyway, i'm upset with the democrats giving everybody raises. i am on social security. they give us a five point something raise and brag about it, yet my medicare went up over 14%. last year, i got $11 is all. food is going up. all my utilities went up. but somebody that works at mcdonald's and says -- do you want a supersized gets double what i get. i get $694 a month. they claim that is too much because i had to fight them. it is ridiculous. our medicare covers nothing, yet they want to lower it so people, younger people are on it. if you have medicaid, it covers everything but medicare covers nothing. thank you for taking my call. host: let's talk to ed from grand island, nebraska, on the independent line. good morning. caller: good morning. i guess the old adage of i'm sick and tired of being sick and tired probably applies. i'm sick and tired of being told that we don't have any oil when we

. >> well, let's look at justice clarence thomas. he is the court's longest serving member.been a vocal opponent of roe v. wade. last june, after the court struck down a louisiana law, he wrote that a woman's right to abort her unborn child is not a liberty protected by the u.s. constitution. now you have three new justice the on the bench, all pointed by donald trump. so it is one of the most conservative courts in decades. do you expect them to fall in lockstep with justice thomas? do we have any read on how these new justices might rule? >> so many of these justices were confirmed, three of them to be precise, after the former president said he would not appoint anyone to the supreme court if they were not opposed to roe v. wade. something we know, though, is that justices don't always perform as predicted once they have life tenure and they're confirmed to a spot on the supreme court. but it seems likely that at least six of the justices have very conservative views about abortion. that would be the part of the court from chief justice roberts to the right. and votes can

easily replicated in other states that disfavor other constitutional rights and there is justice clarence thomasover abortions, does not give them grounds to sue justice amy coney barrett, supreme court's reporter, amy howell is with us now. thanks so much, the conservative activist were active in question today. did they in europe estimation at all tipped their hands >> i think they did. as many of your viewers may remember, there were four votes back in september to put it on hold three liberal justices and so abortion providers, the plaintiffs in this case only needed to pick up one vote and it looks like they may have picked up two or possibly even three of their conservative colleagues this is all about process really >> justice brett kavanaugh asked if texas could do it for abortion, could other states do it to say for gun rights what did you make of this discussion >> the justices, there were two cases. one of them was a case brought by abortion providers. the question that the justices agreed to decide was not whether or not sb-8 was constitutional with them but whether or not a state ca

for me when i was covering clarence thomas and anita hill's confirmation battles and everyone said he is a he said she said story. you'll never get to the bottom. there's no way and i love the quote where he says there may not be one simple single truth but there are facts. either something happened origin happened. you can go for that and you can try to grab those and put them together to get the version of the truth but another robert caro that i love. it takes time, the truth takes time. i am so glad to hear him say that because i am so slow. so comforting to think that they take time and maybe it's towards a larger purpose when it's taking so long. >> we live in the speeding up world when everybody wants immediate gratification and taking time is really important. finding this is really important something else that is interesting what you do with them. i still want to talk about interviewing and how do you get people to trust you. maybe what i need to know. when we talk about facts and research and we talk about archive and we talk about what makes something national. i think we

oh, did i mention of course the case of supreme court justice kavanaugh or clarence thomas or richard jewell or any of these examples? in this case, in order to destroy a 17-year-old, now 18-year-old, young man, all because of their political agenda. and by the way, any unrest that follows will be their fault. that's right, joe biden, it will be your fault, just like it's your fault anything that happens to any american in the islamic emirates of afghanistan that you abandoned. hakeem jeffries, you will be at fault. all of you in the media mob, it will be your fault, and everyone and anyone that rushed to judgment, as per usual, the same cast of characters, those of you that created an expectation among the public based on a set of lies with zero evidence, zero due process, zero presumption of innocence, this is why we have these things. the rule of law is so critically important, and of course the left doesn't care about any of this. it's just yet another reminder why most democrats, most members of the media mob, you cannot trust them, and most people don't trust them. president rea

wade, clarence thomas, neil gorsuch, amy barrett her entire history suggests she'd vote that way.o express an opinion. susan collins the senator who voted for him from maine she said "he believes in precedent. i believe he will not overturn roe v. wade." he allowed the texas law to go into effect, which suggests a hostility to abortion rights. he seems like the only hope for roe v. wade to survive. >> whatever happens in texas, the mississippi case is a forward challenge to roe. >> what makes today's argument a little weird it is mostly it seems about the procedural aspect of who has the right to challenge the law, not about the law ititself. the mississippi case is a 15-week abortion ban, that will be heard december 1st and that will really decide the fate of roe v. wade even if the texas case doesn't. >> where can we watch the arguments on tv? are you listening? >> nowhere. there nor cameras in the supreme court. however, there is live video, go to supremecourt.gov, it's not satisfactory to you and to me, but it's certainly better than it used to be where you couldn't listen to

then there is also clarence thomas who we know is very opposed to roe v wade. >> yeah.e really interesting the see what justice thomas does in the arguments. historically, justice thomas has taken not a very active role in questioning during case. but because of covid and the court is closed to the public it changed the format of things and it has made justice thomas very much more engaged in arguments. given the topic, given that it is about apportion and coming out of mississippi, i expect he will have some things to say. same with justice alito. i do think it is going to be interesting to see the dynamic between justices kavanaugh and chief justice roberts here. we know chief justice roberts is not a friend to abortion rights. he has never voted substantively in favor of abortion rights. all of his votes in favor of upholding precedent have just been that. the conservatives in reality don't need him on his side. he could join the liberals in dissenting on this case and the conservatives could still win. i do think we need to be very clear-eyed about the fact there is

minutes of arguments we heard first, as we typically have this term, from conservative justice clarence thomas been outspoken about the need to revisit roe v. wade, saying it has spiraled out of control. this abortion law has sparked nationwide outrage. here at the supreme court we're seeing protesters on both sides. in texas we've seen plenty of protests springing up about this bill that has forced many women in that state to travel hundreds of miles across state lines to get abortions, abortion clinics in neighboring states like oklahoma, new mexico, saying they are seeing their abortion clinics take on many more patients than they have in the past. this law prohibits abortion providers from performing abortions after a fetal heartbeat is detected, typically at six weeks before many women even know they're pregnant. the difference in this law is it allows private citizens to enforce the law as opposed to state officials. that's the crux of the argument here, whether the state of texas can put enforcement power in private citizens' hands. that's at the center of the argument here. notably, th

. >> then, there's justice clarence thomas indicating texas may be overreaching saying just because those citizens may be outraged over abortions doesn't give them grounds to sue. and justice amy coney barrett focusing on part of the law that restricts abortion providers from being able to fully defend themselves when they're sued supreme court reporter, amy howe is with us now co-founder and former editor of the scotus blog. amy, thanks so much. the conservative activists were active in question today did they, in your estimation, at all tip their hand >> you know, i think they did and -- and as many of your viewers may remember, there were four votes back in september to put this law on hold chief justice john roberts and the court's three liberal justices so, the abortion providers, the plaintiffs in this case, only needed to pick up one vote and it looks like they may have picked up two or possibly even three of the -- their conservative colleagues. >> and this is all about process really justice kavanaugh asked if texas can do this for abortion, could another state do it to, say, res

. >> there was another moment that stuck out where clarence thomas asked stone about what would be consideredmportant. listen to this. >> what would that injury be in this under sb-8, if it's an injury, in fact? >> one example would be a injure suffered in the tort of outrage where an individual becomes aware of an abortion and suffers the same emotional harm that would ground an article 3 injury for purposes of texas law. >> that seemed like sort of a weak argument, did it not? how would you go about proving this kind of extreme moral or mike lodge -- psychological harm to yourself as a third party? >> it was weak, and it was al shocking, because what they were exploring was theoretically, well, who could come to federal court? because texas's position throughout was that the abortion providers could not bring the suit they brought against state vujs and against state clerks in federal court. and that also the united states could not sue texas in federal court as it has. and this was a kind of strange digression into what would count as an injury which is generally a requirement to have stan

this is a judge appointed by trump and who clerked for clarence thomas, right, so like not batting oninted by trump and with that lifetime, you know, guarantee, he has shown real i think the word is dismissiveness towards the clown coup operation, right? he is the same judge that caught the dominion case. the lawsuit against the election company, dominion. and he threw them out on a rail. he threw those guys out on a rail. so this judge doesn't seem, you know, he might be a conservative. i might disagree with him about, you know, tax policy, but it seems like he's on board with the project of democracy. so i don't think that he's going to play around with bannon here. i think like, of the trump judges that you could have got, they probably got the, department of justice probably got a good one here but even so, while dismissing bannon's attempts to delay even the pretrial status meaning to the next year, what are we still looking at? the next day for another status conference already now december 1st? is he really going to get the trial going before the holidays? does anybody think th

um, it -- it reminds me of when thurgood marshal was asked about clarence thomas replacing him.t was one of the more powerful moments that thurgood marshall had and he was talking about someone who was black and of color replacing him. and he says that it doesn't matter -- in paraphrasing, of course, it doesn't matter if that person is of color if they don't reflect and promote the values that would help move his people along. and so, i -- i'm very happy she ran an amazing campaign. she won. um, and i know that here we go and i am going to get in trouble for this but it reminds me of nina simone and many others who stated that, you know, all -- all skin folk ain't your kinfolk. and there is a -- a huge, huge gulf between what the lieutenant governor elect stands for and what is best for african-americans throughout this country. >> a lot more to come here on election night. voters sending a clear immessag to democrats and president biden. have you ever sat here and wondered: "couldn't i do this from home?" with letsgetchecked, you can. it's virtual care with home health testing

clarence thomas may have put it best when he wrote that the technological advances have only heightened that you dedicate potential -- heightened not eugenic potential of abortion. abortion's commute to a limited children with unwanted characteristics. this law prevents abortion from becoming a modern tool of modern-day eugenics. i'm the father of six children. my life has gone up and down. from losing everything, going through bankruptcy, living in a one-bedroom basement apartment in brooklyn with four kids, we chose to have another two because we believe in the blessings and internal life of families. do not listen to the dark message of hopelessness. the tough times you might go through are temporary. the life you give to your children, which he billed as families, is eternal. it is nothing like the memories i now share in believing it is not playing on a football field yesterday is watching my 5, 6 kids, 15 grandkids, how close we are, how much we enjoy our company, and the pride i have in what they have done to raise their kids. that is the legacy our moms and dads, that is the leg
