"In my humble opinion, those who come to engage in debates of consequence, and who challenge accepted wisdom, should expect to be treated badly.
Nonetheless, they must stand undaunted. That is required. And, that should be expected.

For, it is bravery that is required to secure freedom."

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas
Francis Boyer Lecture 
American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research

Washington, D.C. 
February 13, 2001

"Individuals who have been wronged by unlawful racial discrimination should be made whole;
but under our Constitution there can be no such thing as either a creditor or a debtor race.
That concept is alien to the Constitution's focus upon the individual.
...To pursue the concept of racial entitlement - even for the most admirable and benign of purposes
- is to reinforce and preserve for future mischief the way of thinking
that produced race slavery, race privilege and race hatred.

In the eyes of government, we are just one race here.

It is American.”

Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia
Adarand Constructors, Inc. v. Mineta, 534 U.S. 103 (1995) (concurring).
