I was looking at this picture of him sitting and laughing recently, and thinking, he looks like a My Olympia now.

I think this is a nice topic for Sunday evening, and some of you may find it interesting.
In October 2020 I wrote Justice Thomas a note after I completed his book. I was unaware of his struggles growing up, and I expressed my thanks to him for his continuing efforts in supporting the Constitution. I also asked him for some reading recommendations.
I recently received a lovely handwritten note from the Justice himself. Here are his recommendations:
"A Conflict of Visions" by Sowell, "The Tempting of America" by Bork, "Cynical Theories" by Pluckrose and Lindsay, and any book by Paul Johnson. Justice Thomas said he is currently re-reading Johnson's "Modern Times".
Needless to say I was thrilled to receive such a thoughtful response from Justice Thomas and I will be framing this correspondence. In my humble opinion, Clarence Thomas is a living legend.
Thank you for sharing this. I consider Justice Thomas an American treasure.
Justice Thomas is a class act all around. I wish the media would lift him up as a role model to black kids (kids of any race actually).
Made my day! Even got me a little emotional. Not sure why, maybe because I didn’t think I could love this man any more than I already did. Maybe because It makes me a sad to think half the country hates this amazing human. In any case, thank you for sharing.
Yes it will be hung in my office.
I need to watch it.
I’d love to post a pic of some of the letter but I never learned how to post a pic on FR. Haha.
Neat!
flr - book list
I was lucky with Johnson.
I started with The Birth of the Modern and then Modern Times. Intellectuals was followed by Creators, Churchill and Socrates.
I agree. How cool for you.

You put that very well. Such a sweet man
He didn’t say. Said he focused on reps now (this was 30 years ago...) and didn’t really know his max.
The demons are waging total war on us right now in their two to four year window and we HAVE to fight them every way possible!
