(Christian Headlines) Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas says the media’s coverage of the high court is often unfair by implying that the justices’ personal beliefs – and not the text of the Constitution – determine how they rule.
Thomas, the longest-serving member of the current court, told an audience at the University of Notre Dame last Thursday that the role of a judge is similar to that of a referee in a football game.
“I think the media makes it sound as though you are just always going right to your personal preference. So if they think you are anti-abortion or something personally, they think that’s the way you always will come out,” said Thomas, who is Catholic.
