The American Constitution Society's Blog is serializing what will likely be a very interesting feature. Entitled Clarence Thomas' America, it will focus on Justice Thomas' views on stare decisis:
These next two weeks, ACSBlog will explore several of these cases, explaining the history behind Thomas' disfavored doctrines, and suggesting how America would be different should Thomas' vision ever become law. We hope these pieces will be helpful in understanding the man President Bush calls a "model" Supreme Court Justice.
It's a turd?
Clarence Thomas in Hamdi vs Rumsfeld
Question left open:
If I wipe my ass on the bill of rights in order to demonstrate via circumspection that toilet paper is not a constitutional guarantee for a man about to take it up the ass from the Man and indefinitely and with no protections, rights, or remedies, what is in fact my first principle of jurisprudence?
Answer:
No one has a clue -- indeed, I shit on the whole bill of rights when I write a dissent like the one I wrote in Hamdi vs Rumsfeld. The best part...the turd will live on long after I'm gone for future turd lovers and those who keep trying to compare my turd fetish with jurisprudence and the work of my peers and predecessors.
