Antonin Scalia and Samuel Alito are both the sons of immigrants. Clarence Thomas is directly descended from freed slaves, and did not speak English at home when growing up.

I’m not sure what to make of that, if anything ... perhaps that liberty is most appreciated by those who in one fashion or another had to struggle for it.
