And that's up first for this Thursday, September tenth.

Senator Ted Cruz has written a book praising Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.
voice-verified
The Texas lawmaker highlights Thomas' rise from poverty and his move to the political right.
voice-verified
By the 1980s, Thomas was Republican, leaning on the individualism he'd learned growing up.
voice-verified
Today, he's the court's senior justice and among its most conservative.
voice-verified
The book, going further, calls attention to Thomas and also to its author, who used to argue cases before the court.
voice-verified
People will wonder about your choice here.
voice-verified
Does this book, for example, tell us what kind of Supreme Court justice you think you would be if you ever had the opportunity?
voice-verified
Well, that leads to my next question then.

Does this book tell us what kind of Supreme Court justice you would appoint if you ever had the opportunity?
voice-verified
Clarence Thomas has authored opinions on gun rights and joined the ruling overturning a right to abortion.
voice-verified
Cruz says he's also comfortable filing dissents, even if the vote is 8-1.
voice-verified
I want to jump in right there because you have this quote from Antonin Scalia, the late Supreme Court justice, who is conservative but concluded, you say, at some point he didn't want to try to overturn everything.
voice-verified
And his quote is, I'm an originalist.
voice-verified
I'm a textualist.
voice-verified
I'm not a nut.
voice-verified
And then you say Clarence Thomas is the nut.
voice-verified
What do you mean by that?
