    watching this instead of doing con law reading...worth it
  • Justice Thomas seems to be a nice man. He really achieved a lot in his life. He turned down Harvard Law School, wow?
  • Justice Thomas gets a lot of heat on his positions and court demeanor but I respect him for what he has accomplished and achieved. Cheers!

    Wow....what an impressive person. Two big thumbs up for Justice Thomas. (And great job by the Dean asking the questions.)
  • Although I might disagree with almost every judicial opinion he has made, I admire him and have new found respect for Justice Thomas. What an amazing story

  • @elzarcho
    Thanks, Justice Thomas! Informative and entertaining.

    Awesome and very interesting man to listen to. I really liked hearing his point about how you don't want everyone agreeing. He spoke to disagreements sharpening reasoning skills. And on that, I could not agree more. I may not agree with many opinions by some of the left-leaning justices at times on the right. But, I can only imagine how much stronger my own arguments might become if I were to encounter any one of those justices in a discussion.

    A very interesting man, whom I admire even if I do not share his views. As a professional advocate, however, I welcome even difficult questions from the bench. Otherwise I may be prattling on about something the court thinks is irrelevant.
  • @dungha7350
    it is very interesing and to watch this^^ , broadening our knowledge, tks for sharding
  • @jimmbo13
    If only at least because of his rich bass voice, I wish he would question more frequently in oral argument
  • @hdaaap
    the top judge..now that scalia is gone
  • @moondanceff
    I thought he didn't do ivies? Anyone else remember that part of the book from the nine by Jeffrey Toobin?

    As awesome as a Harvard Law School is and difficult as it is to get into ( I didn't get in) I think it is totally unhealthy for the entire Supreme Court to be dominated by three schools. I go to rank 30-40 school depending how you rate it but I think there ought to be some more variance there
  • @evangelion13
    I was hoping he would do the visit without saying a word.
  • @punnoosecheriyan
    Haha, he did a good job pivoting from his non questioning attitude in the court.
