Justice Thomas urges conservatives to carry on anti-LGBT work of Antonin Scalia
By MARK SHERMAN, Associated Press · Friday, November 18, 2016
WASHINGTON (AP) — Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas says conservatives should make the work of the late Justice Antonin Scalia a “prologue” in the effort to limit the power of the courts and other branches of government.
The Supreme Court has too often granted rights to people that are not found in the Constitution, Thomas said, citing the decision in 2015 that made same-sex marriage legal across the country. Both Scalia and Thomas dissented from that decision.
“With such unchecked judicial power, we leave it for the least accountable branch to decide what newly discovered rights should be appended to our Constitution,” Thomas told 1,700 people at a Thursday night dinner to honor Scalia, who died in February. He paraphrased Lincoln’s Gettysburg address to exhort the audience to “be dedicated to the unfinished business for which Justice Scalia gave his last full measure of devotion.”
Thomas said he and his longtime friend and colleague formed an “odd couple” of a white New Yorker and a black man from Georgia. “But together, we soon became our own band of brothers,” Thomas said.
