Summary: 1 Stars
Pity poor Clarence Thomas. He writes in "My Grandfather's Son" that he, the most visible affirmative action hire in the country, is so distraught over having been admitted to Yale Law School under affirmative action that he thinks his law degree from this prestigious institution is "...worth fifteen cents". Presumably, this is why he now seeks to deny others the benefits he reaped from this important program. What seems to rankle Mr. Justice Thomas most however is his perception that he was denied the opportunity to go to Wall Street and bray for money with so many of his law school classmates and had to "settle" for a public service job, albeit one that came with a powerful political patron. "My Grandfather's Son" also shows clearly that the justice has an enemies list longer than Richard Nixon's and that he is in the process of laughing up the sleeve of his judicial robe at every last one of them as he tailors the constitution to fit the conservative Republican agenda.
