Justice Clarence Thomas says judges are 'asking for trouble' when they wade into politics
CNN
On the verge of a new term in which the Supreme Court will wade back into the culture wars and as the political spotlight focusses on the justices and the role of the judiciary, Justice Clarence Thomas gave a sweeping lecture Thursday touching on themes of equality, race and the state of the country.
"When we begin to venture into the legislative or executive branch lanes, those of us, particularly in the federal judiciary with lifetime appointments, are asking for trouble," he said during a sweeping lecture at the University of Notre Dame that also touched on themes of equality, race and the state of the country.
The problem, the justice said, has bled into the nomination and confirmation process.
