Beschreibung
"For thirty years, Clarence Thomas has been denounced as the 'cruelest justice,' a betrayer of his race, an ideologue, and the enemy of the little guy. In this compelling study of the man and the jurist, Amul Thapar demolishes that caricature. Every day, Americans go to court. Invoking the Constitution, they fight for their homes, for a better education for their children, and to save their cities from violence. Recounting the stories of a handful of these ordinary Americans whose struggles for justice reached the Supreme Court, Thapar shines new light on the heart and mind of Clarence Thomas. A woman in debilitating pain whose only effective medication has been taken away by the government, the motherless children of a slain police officer, victims of sexual assault-- read their eye-opening stories, stripped of legalese, and decide for yourself whether Thomas's originalist jurisprudence delivers equal justice under law. 'Finding the right answer,' Justice Thomas has observed, 'is often the least difficult problem.' What is needed is 'the courage to assert that answer and stand firm in the face of the constant winds of protest and criticism.' That courage--along with wisdom and compassion--shines out from every page of The People's Justice. At the heart of this book is the question: Would you want to live in Justice Thomas's America? After reading these stories, even his critics might be surprised by their answer."
