    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!

    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.

    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

    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.

    If only at least because of his rich bass voice, I wish he would question more frequently in oral argument

    The rest of the university scholars assembled likely have a similar feeling of welcome and honor regarding Justice Clarence Thomas, a learned and good man.

    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

    There's much in Justice Clarence Thomas' story and judicial practice and philosophy I admire. But things like no tolerance for tardiness in his chambers and so forth, i.e. hyper-structure, seems to me not only excessive but actually contrary to the civilized calling of a liberal, university-like working environment that makes room for human beings and not merely humans emulating industrial machines you might say.

    Too bad it all went to his head and he messed up. He would have been good for civil rights/human rights but has loyalty to extremist ideals.
