Clarence Thomas says he worries respect for institutions is eroding

Justice Clarence Thomas said Friday that the judiciary is threatened if people are unwilling to “live with outcomes we don’t agree with” and that recent events at the Supreme Court might be “one symptom of that.”

“It bodes ill for a free society,” he said. It can’t be that institutions “give you only the outcome you want, or can be bullied” to do the same, he said.

For Thomas, avowed critic of Roe v. Wade, Mississippi abortion case a moment long awaited

The court’s longest-serving justice said he also worried about a “different attitude of the young” that might not show the same respect for the law as past generations. “Recent events have shown this major change,” he said.

Thomas is the member of the court least likely to adhere to stare decisis, the principle of letting past decisions stand. In past cases, including Casey, he called for Roe to be overturned.

“We use stare decisis as a mantra when we don’t want to think,” Thomas said.
