Clarence Thomas

Controversial conservative U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice known for an extreme interpretation of the constitution, resulting in landmark rulings striking down the constitutional right to abortion, affirmative action, and other decisions with decades of precedent, while expanding gun rights under the 2nd amendment. Justice Thomas is currently under fire for undermining the integrity of the highest courts by accepting high-value trips and perks from billionaire Republican donor and real estate developer Harlan Crow who fuels dark money to advance the conservative agenda.
