I read some fringe piece some years ago about Justice “Uncle” Thomas and how he was radicalized in college, only to later seek a Supreme Court seat where he would exact some sort of revenge for the topic of his radicalism. Also, how he’s angry about being dragged over Anita Hill in his confirmation hearings.
Like I said, fringe piece. It all reads like retcon to me but then, again, look at his rulings.
