Justice Thomas is probably the last honorable man that will serve on the Supreme Court. Certainly, he is the last that isn't a child of snotty Northeastern privilege with Ivy League educated parents, private schools, and the way smoothed by family connections. He came up hard with the additional strike of being black, bringing the associated low expectations and cruelty with it. If you grew up an Appalachian white trash hillbilly as I did and achieved even moderate success in life, you have more in common with Justice Thomas than any of the other gilded lillies on that Court.
