Why Justice Thomas is the GOAT

 Carrie Severino posts:


At the Eleventh Circuit Judicial Conference event, Judge Mizelle asked Justice Thomas about his tendency to write separate or dissenting opinions that question the wisdom of long-standing precedent:   “My granddaddy would always say, ‘boy, if it don’t make no sense, it don’t make no sense.’ I’m not going to reflexively go along with something simply because others have always gone along with it.” Justice Thomas has never been afraid to be bold in dissent or when issuing a separate opinion from the majority to clarify the Constitution’s original meaning.
