[4CJ]

Awhile back on public television, I saw an interesting talk Justice Thomas had with a group of high school students. ... Second, he mentioned that as a young man he had trouble shaking his "Geechee" accent (from the Ogeechee River, the Savannah equivalent more or less of Gullah) and that made him somewhat diffident about public speaking because of the scorn that rural accent incurred.

Been there, done that, watched the same show! C-SPAN series about America & the Courts IIRC. He got me when he pulled out his pocket Constitution - his opinions are based on what was within, not his personal opinion.

I could not remember where I saw it - but I sure would love to get a tape! I thought he was eloquent, commanding, and convincing in that forum.

(And I remember him pulling out the pocket Constitution, too! Three cheers for the Constitutionalist Justice!)

Good catch!

I found the link: Q&A Sessions with Justices. Video link is below.
