Clarence Thomas Slams Proposed Rule to Silence Conservative Judges | LifeNews.com
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas panned a draft ethics rule that would dissuade judges from formally enrolling in ideological groups like the Federalist Society and its liberal counterpart, the American Constitution Society (ACS).
Speaking Friday night at a Federalist Society conference in Florida, Thomas suggested the proposal is an attempt to silence the conservative lawyers group. The proposed rule would also bind law clerks and staff attorneys.
Now I think they re about to silence the Federalist Society, the justice said, according to remarks first reported by The Wall Street Journal. So I guess I can t come back.
