Something interesting ...

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.

These three are far and away the most AMERICAN members of the SCOTUS; the ones who most clearly represent the intent and understanding of the founders.

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.

I’m the son of an immigrant. I knew all about communism and current events in high school, and was passionate about it. Everyone else was, “huh? What? Who?”
