The Honorable '''Clarence Thomas''' is an [[Associate Justice]] of the [[U.S. Supreme Court]].
   −
Justice Thomas is highly respected for adhering to an interpretation of the [[U.S. Constitution]] based on its original text, meaning and understanding, which has included limiting federal powers. His judicial doctrine finds no basis in the [[U.S. Constitution]] for abortion, [[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 or investments. He is often compared to Justice [[Antonin Scalia]].
