What a great eulogy! I bursted into tears when he said "with him a piece of my own life is carried to the grave." What a beautiful example of true and enduring friendship!
@@cush6827 what do you mean by "slaveholder worldview"? For your knowledge, Justice Clarence Thomas is a dyed in wool Republican, not a servile Democrat. He is a proud and upright Blackman.
As a young black woman without political loyalties I can say that I view Justice Thomas as one of the greatest men in the world. Not because he's black, not because he's conservative. Because he is truly an honorable man of God. If the Supreme Court had 9 Justice Thomas's our country would be in truly great hands. He believes in God and the constitution and no more could ever be asked of anyone. Thank You Sir for your service to our country and thank you to Justice Scalia who was a great man. God Speed.
I agree 100%. Just learning more about Justice Thomas's life. I am an African American female, and it out rages me to see the negative propaganda around Justice Thomas's life. I'm now old enough and wise enough to be my own judge of character. What I see in Clarence Thomas is integrity, intellect, righteousness, and one who wants justice for all. So glad I can think for myself! Never again to be led by myths and the masses.
proposing that having 9 justice thomas’s would be great for this country is absurd. 9 people who share the exact same opinion on the highest court in the land??? 9 people who represent only a minority of us citizen’s interests? 9 people who would only actually speak during oral arguments once every decade?? that’s not what the supreme court is for, and that’s not united states government.
@@harrisonbrand8985 What she meant was 9 justices who are faithful to the Constitution and who do not invent laws from the bench as a Super Legislature. We have had far too many already and they have done irreparable harm to the Constitution and this Republic!
@@sherylwashington4500 There is no negative propaganda, Thomas while a decent man has an awful jurisprudence and could be a rapist. He lacks integrity, righteousness, and does not want justice for all.
We no nothing about how Gorsuch is going to rule yet. I say Thomas is still the most conservative Justice on the court since his appointment (even more so than Scalia).
Mr Clarence Thomas a dignified man of intellect and humility. A touching, sincere eulogy. Your words come from the heart. We will all meet, God willing in His Kingdom.
I am blessed that a man ( Justice Thomas) of such humility and rich wisdom still serves on the Supreme Court of our nation. I hope Justice Scalia's family is doing well after such a heartbreaking loss .
I too held that anger for a very long time. However, I have come to realize that anyone capable of such slander has created their own Hell on earth that they must live in, I don’t. In the end, they will suffer greatly for eternity in the fiery pits of Hell while we rejoice in the kingdom of Heaven. Justice Thomas also knows this to be true and that is why it’s easy for him to forgive them.
A nice, emotionally moving tribute by Justice Thomas to the late Justice Scalia-like Thomas, Scalia was a constitutional constructionist-he didn't legislate from the bench.
Now watched this a second time. Both are profound Justices. Tremendous respect for one another only leads me to respect them collectively all the more.
God knows we will dearly miss the greatest Supreme Court justice within the last half century. Justice Antonin Scalia, had no equal upon the court. He was the Supreme Court itself. I hope that God sends someone who will fill hi shoes, and keep the Court in its Common Law heritage.
Thank You Justice Scalia for your Service to The United States of America and for Directing others to Self Teach Law Textualism and Interpreting the Law through Original Content and its texts. God Bless Your Soul Nino.
Emotion, attachment , respect and friendship are felt in his voice.... he knew that they were so lucky to have met each other and worked together in this lifetime. Two Highly qualified, experienced, responsible, and respected personalities. Justice Antonin Scalia. Justice Clarence Thomas.

It is only fitting that Justice Thomas issue such a heartfelt eulogy to his beloved friend “Nino.” Take heart Justice Thomas , Nino’s soul sister Justice Barrett will soon be there. She is a brilliant jurist, a conservative Catholic woman of God , who will transform this Court and our nation for decades to come.
Who gives this a thumbs down? What kind of person does this and what's their rationale for doing so? That's not rhetorical. If anyone gives this a thumbs down, please tell me why and how long you've been hateful. Is it a recent development or were you raised to be bigoted, hateful and party above all else and been that way your whole life?
You know, it's videos like this that really makes you think that government officials for all the power they have at the end of the day they're just people...just like us. #RIPJusticeScalia
Thinking about Justice Scalia on the day Roe was overturned. The influence of his brilliant often dissenting opinions can not be overstated for their profound affect on conservative jurists. Today he walks with his head held high at what his court has delivered.
He has talked about how he doesn't like the court being a "hot bench" as some have put it.....that is constant questions...he wants advocates before the court to be able to present their arguments and then Justices may ask questions....see "Justice Thomas visits Harvard Law School" its a 2013 video. I think after Scalia passed he realized he had to pick up some of the slack. They both have very similar views on interpreting the constitution. Arguably the closest conservative minds in our Judiciary for some time.
Because they had relatively similar legal philosophies that often led to the same questions and Scalia was much more talkative in general. If you are pedaling that stupid old argument that he was Scalia's puppet, then you clearly know nothing. I doubt you've even read a Supreme Court case if that's what you are trying to say. Thomas swayed Scalia all the time in the nineties, and you'd know that if you formed your own opinions on the Justice rather than just listening to what you hear on TV
Nateo200, Justice Roberts betrayed us on Obamacare but other than that he has been great and Sam Alito is a true conservative in every way. People, especially conservatives, are quick to put down the two Bush's but they gave us Justice Thomas, Alito and Roberts. Not bad at all.
Why couldn't Clarence have been president instead of Obama? I know race relations would have improved significantly during a Thomas presidency, rather than deteriorating significantly as they did with Obama and Holder. America needs a strong, brilliant, and humble person to reunite America.
Unfortunately, the ignorant masses are often moved by practitioners of demagoguery rather than men of virtue, humility and intellect, such as Justice Thomas. That is why the bottom feeders often rise to the top in politics!
Mrs Ginsburg was a brilliant mind, a living legend. During her long life, she's been through some hard stuff, but she never played anything down, she never wavered, she told the truth.She stood for human rights.The rights of all the American people. Regardless of who they are. In one word: She stood for justice. I guess that's what our president had in mind when he said truthfully:«She was an amazing woman, whether you agree or not.»ruclips.net/video/24QKYig1prU/видео.html
What did Clarence Thomas say, on his first appearance after Judge Scalia's death? Clarence Thomas said, "Me no know how to vote on the Supreme Court anymore because-ah Missa Massa Scalia no more here to tell me."
This shows your disdain for the man and exposes your own foolishness. The writer of SCOTUS opinion is actually chosen by the Chief Justice and it's mostly rotational. Stop blabbing out cliches from the net and do due diligence.
If you don't know who Anita Hill is, Google her name and accusations before commenting on Clarence Thomas. Don't be a sheep, think for yourselves, and never share a Coke with Clarence Thomas.
Can you imagine how much greater this country would be if our politicians shared as much respect for another as out supreme Court justices do?
It’s much easier when you are beholden to the law and the Constitution, rather than the ever-changing electorate.

Never forget that Scalia was murdered.
Justice Thomas has my respect.
I dont much see eye to eye with justice thomas on the law. but he is a great man, inspirational
The comparison to Bonhoeffer (who was executed by the Nazis) is interesting. I wonder if he was conveying a subtle message.
