Wow what a great experience! I remember his path to the court, it was not a pleasant road. Thankfully he stood his ground and we have had all these years of his wisdom on the court.
It was a horrendous path! I happened to be working with an aerospace industry association at the time and was close friends with people who knew the Thomas’ socially and who had worked with him at the SBA and who also knew Anita. Suffice it to say, that episode was when I was ‘red-pilled’ as to the extent of media and government mendacity. Have been a cynical critic of media and government ever since. When I found FR in 1998 (I lurked for 2 years) it was great to find there were other like-minded cynics! Lol.
