Clarence Thomas Unplugged
October 03, 2007 11:21 PM
Please click here to link directly to part one of the "Director's Cut" version of my Clarence Thomas report for Nightline. Then click here for part two. It's a special extended version and adds some extraordinary material we had to trim from the broadcast Monday night, including Thomas' thoughts on being cast as a "follower" of Justice Antonin Scalia and his response to those who said he was not a worthy successor to Thurgood Marshall.
You can also click here to read an intriguing review of Thomas' book by ABC News consultant Monica Dolin, a former clerk to Sam Alito and University of Chicago Law School graduate.
Over the next few days, I'll be posting additional segments that explore Thomas as a Justice, including his thoughts on the usefulness of oral argument, why he believes the Constitution is "color-blind," and how he really feels about stare decisis.

I dont' want to hear anything at all about Clarence Thomas other than he's been removed from the Bench. I believe Anita HIll. People like him are the reason people think they can still get away with this stuff.

we are truly fortunate to have a man of the quality of justice thomas on the bench of the supreme court of the land. he is a man of integrity and character. he was nearly a victim of those who want to make law in the supreme court not interpret it.

Did I hear this report correctly? Is Clarence Thomas actually equating the bigots of the South during the days of segregation with the progressives in Congress that voted against him. Is he saying a "high-tech" lynching is the same as a real lynching? Does he think that there are those in the "mainstream" media now that are doing the equivalent of sending him notes like the kid in school that wished Martin Luther King dead?

We need more heros like Clarence Thomas.
