Back to affirmative action, which Thomas famously opposes: He was 43 and had one year of judicial experience when Bush the Elder nominated him to replace Thurgood Marshall on the court. Even Thomas can't seriously believe Bush's claim that he was the "most qualified" candidate.
The primary weapon against affirmative action is the only documentable case of a less qualified Black person being promoted over a white person exclusively because of his race.
Clarence Thomas took advantage of affirmative action up to his very last appointment. My disdain for him has nothing to do with his "conservatism." It's because he's a damn quisling.
