First Principles by Scott Douglas Gerber
An assessment of the first five years of Justice Clarence Thomas's time on the Court Clarence Thomas is one of the most vilified public figures of our day. Time magazine called him “Uncle Tom Justice,” and famed columnist Nat Hentoff accused him of “having done more damage, more quickly, than any Supreme Court Justice in history.” To date, however, his legal philosophy has received only cursory treatment. Scott Gerber provides a portrait of Thomas based not on the justice's caricatured reputation, but on his judicial opinions and votes, his scholarly writings, and his public speeches. And what Gerber finds is likely to surprise Justice Thomas’s critics and supporters alike.
Gerber's book is a breath of fresh air, because it treats Justice Thomas and his work with respect and intellectual curiosity* Ideas on Liberty *
...the most comprehensive and incisive account of Thomas' political philosophy to date. * First Things *
...An excellent and balanced review of the justice's first years on the Court. * National Review *
The virtue of Scott Gerber's new study ... is that it puts in better perspective Thomas's whole career. * The Weekly Standard *
Gerber is scrupulously honest in dissecting Thomas' opinions, their legal background, and their place in the Court's jurisprudence, and he demonstrates his own excellent capabilities as an objective, fair, thoughtful, and thorough scholar. * The Federal Lawyer *
Elevates the debate and thereby does a great service to Justice Thomas, the Court, and the country * Green Bag *
