The Honorable '''Clarence Thomas''' is an [[Associate Justice]] of the [[U.S. Supreme Court]].
    
Justice Thomas has consistently adhered to an interpretation of the [[U.S. Constitution]] based on [[original intent]], which has included opposing [[Roe v. Wade]], homosexual rights, federal interference with state sovereignty, the [[Dormant Commerce Clause]] and constitutional limits on punitive damages. He has utilized and trained more conservative law clerks than any other Justice.  He has an unblemished record of service on the Court since 1991 and has never had to recuse himself from a case due to activity off the bench.  Justice [[Antonin Scalia]] rarely disagrees with Justice Thomas, but one example of disagreement was when Justice Thomas provided the fifth vote against the government in a seizure of nearly a million dollars in cash from a traveler who had failed to fill out a disclosure form.
