Reseñas editoriales

In a rare interview given by Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, television journalist and lawyer Jan Greenberg doesn't shy away from asking incisive questions during this revelatory conversation recorded in front of a live audience, in New York City, in October of 2007.

Candid and well-spoken, Thomas waxes eloquently on a diverse set of topics ranging from his radical political leanings in the 1960s, to the criticism surrounding his opinion on affirmative action, to his motivation for writing his best-selling memoir.

This fascinating listen sheds light on this complex and controversial figure in contemporary American history.

Resumen del Editor

Clarence Thomas is a graduate of Yale University Law School and the author of My Grandfather's Son: A Memoir.

Jan Crawford Greenberg is a legal correspondent with ABC News and author of Supreme Conflict: The Inside Story of the Struggle for Control of the United States Supreme Court.

What an amazing man and justice

I loved it. It is fascinating how a man so smart is treated so poorly because he thinks for himself and not in line with what people think he should think. Justice Thomas gives us a view of how the Supreme Court should operate.
People often ask the question, "If you could have dinner with anyone in the world who would it be?" Justice Thomas would be my pick. No question!

this is a good way to understand the brilliance of

I thank God for Clarence Thomas. The contribution he makes to our society is without measure. I am embarassed that he has had to endure so much unfair treatment in his lifetime, but he has clearly survived and thrived. I am greatful.

Clarence Thomas - 5 stars, Jan Greenberg - 0 stars

Any additional comments?

Clarence Thomas gave a brilliant and moving interview to a progressive blockhead, Jan Greenberg. Jan is a liberal ideologue of the first water, and was unable to process most of what Justice Thomas was saying. In spite of that, the interview is well worth hearing. No doubt, Justice Thomas had plenty of experience with this kind of thing and navigated it with grace and charm. It's frustrating because Jan misses most of Justice Thomas' points and her follow-up questions come from the echo chamber in her head rather than the person sitting across from her. After hearing this, I went out and bought "My Grandfather's Son" immediately. I just wish there was an Audible version of that, read by Clarence Thomas.

Very Enlightening & Enjoyable

Justice Thomas’ interview gave me a huge desire to read his book. I was teaching school in KC during the MLK Assassination ... six classes of 9th Grade students each day & the loss of Dr King & Robert Kennedy so close together was truly a life changing time for both my students & me.
Justice Thomas’ experiences gave me a renewed freshness of the National turmoil we all were going through .... wish I could get my former students to reflect on how those assassinations and race riot events affected their lives, know it changed me.
Thanks for the Justice’ Interview.

What I never knew!

This took me into the mind of Clarence Thomas. It gave me a picture of how he reasoned when making decisions on the Supreme Court. This was eye-opening since press articles would have given you a different impression.

This left me in awe. Captivating. Inspiring.

Ten stars on a five-point scale. A most fascinating biographical interview, very interesting history , unassailable logic, and a glimpse into the work and history of Clarence Thomas's journey to and within the Supreme Court. It could not but engender the deepest respect for the person and his devotion to carrying out his work at the highest standards of excellence.

a new public Hero Of Mine

I never knew anyting about Judge Thomas other than what I watch on TV or read in the newspapers...what a bunch of gobbledygook! shame on me for not reading about the man and about his judicial decisions. I am grateful to almighty God the Creator that Clarence Thomas is on the Supreme Court. Thank you judge Thomas for sharing your brilliant insights, your faith, and your convictions.

Great perspective by a great jurist

Understanding Thomas' outlook on the role of the court and his self imposed limitations on what he can rightly do, even when his personal beliefs conflict with the law, is critical to realizing it is not the job of the Supreme Court to set things right, or to do what's right, or to be in line with popular opinion. He is what's right about the Court.
