Fox News articles are now available in audio format, making it easier for readers to access and engage with the content. One of the notable figures who has faced significant adversity while serving our nation is Justice Clarence Thomas. From the moment he took the bench, Thomas has been subjected to smears and attacks, with The New York Times painting him as the “cruelest justice.” These baseless attacks continue even today. However, those who are familiar with Thomas and his work see through these desperate attempts to discredit him, recognizing him as a great man. Thankfully, Judge Amul Thapar, renowned for his legal expertise, has authored a remarkable book that debunks the Times’ unjust label and aptly titles Thomas as “The People’s Justice.”
While books on law may not always be intriguing reads, Thapar’s “The People’s Justice” is an exception. Thapar breathes life into legal concepts, making it a book that resonates with both lawyers and everyday Americans. Through captivating anecdotes and a conversational tone, Thapar, much like Thomas, emphasizes that the Constitution is the birthright of every citizen.
Thapar skillfully illustrates how Thomas understands that the Constitution defends not only high-profile cases but also the rights of ordinary individuals, such as a working mother facing discrimination or a blue-collar nurse whose home is taken by a powerful corporation and an accommodating government. Each page of Thapar’s book showcases Thomas’ own words and reasoning, dismantling the misguided notion that defending the Constitution means disregarding the lives of regular people. The Constitution, as Frederick Douglass eloquently put it, is a “glorious liberty document” and the ultimate protector of our freedoms.
A judge who forsakes the Constitution in favor of personal agendas may secure favorable outcomes in specific cases, but in doing so, they undermine the rule of law and the will of the people. As Abraham Lincoln cautioned, those who discard the Constitution trample on the sacrifices of previous generations and jeopardize the liberty of present and future generations. Thomas, as one of history’s staunchest defenders of our Constitution, will be remembered as an unwavering champion of our freedom.
Readers of “The People’s Justice” will develop a profound understanding of our Constitution and a renewed admiration for Thomas’ brilliance. With references to the Founding Fathers, American heroes, and influential documents, Thomas’ opinions offer not only legal insights but also valuable lessons in informed citizenship.
Moreover, readers will catch a glimpse of Thomas’ character. Contrary to popular stereotypes of judges as stern and detached figures, even a brief moment with Thomas dispels such notions. His infectious laughter, unique and resonant, never fails to bring smiles to those around him. Furthermore, Thomas personifies compassionate leadership. In the book’s introduction, Thapar recounts Justice Sonia Sotomayor describing Thomas as the justice who knows every employee’s name and genuinely cares about the court and its people.
Undeniably, Thomas is a brilliant jurist, but his true strength lies in his benevolent spirit. Honoring Thomas is synonymous with acknowledging courage. Attentive readers will notice that many of the cases discussed in “The People’s Justice” resulted in dissents from Thomas. This serves as a poignant testament to his unwavering commitment to follow the law, regardless of popular opinion or prevailing tides. Thomas epitomizes an enduring defender of both our Constitution and our freedom.
In an era where statues are torn down instead of being erected, it is vital to honor the heroes among us. It is a rare opportunity to pay tribute to a remarkable individual while they are still with us. We owe Judge Thapar our gratitude for providing that opportunity to honor one of our nation’s greatest living Americans. Likewise, we owe Justice Thomas our unyielding admiration for his invaluable contributions. Indeed, Clarence Thomas is “The People’s Justice.” Edwin “Ed” Meese III, a former U.S. Attorney General under President Reagan and the Ronald Reagan Distinguished Fellow Emeritus at the Heritage Foundation, validates this sentiment.
