Justice Thomas’ Former Clerks Dominate Trump Judicial Nominations
President Donald Trump has tapped eight of Justice Clarence Thomas’ former clerks for appeals court nominations since taking office.
Seven are currently sitting judges, while the eighth, Neomi Rao, will likely be confirmed in the near future.
Thomas actively mentors his closely knit network of acolytes.
Thomas generally hires law clerks who share his originalist judicial philosophy. Among the court’s conservatives, he is somewhat unique in that respect: The late Justice Antonin Scalia periodically hired liberal “counter clerks” to sharpen his work, while the hiring practices of other conservatives like Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Brett Kavanaugh appear slightly more varied.
“I’m not going to hire clerks who have profound disagreements with me,” Thomas said during a 1999 lecture at the National Center for Policy Analysis. “Someone said that it’s like trying to train a pig. It wastes your time, and it aggravates the pig.”
