Our friends at More Perfect dove into Clarence Thomas’s past to make sense of his ideology today. You’ll hear from:

Juan Williams — Senior Political Analyst at Fox NewsCorey Robin — Professor of Political Science at Brooklyn College and the CUNY Graduate CenterAngela Onwuachi-Willig — Dean of Boston University School of LawStephen F. Smith — Professor of Law at Notre Dame Law School

The More Perfect team inspired us to do our own deep-dive: Unearthing Thomas’s ideological roots, and what they mean for the Court’s looming opinions. Pair this episode with our last drop, “Clarence Thomas and his Hotep Supreme Court.”
