U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is having a week. On the heels of his public appearances during the court's recess, Thomas, who is famously quiet on the bench, derided the "myth-making" of justices and discussed, statements at the Library of Congress on Feb. 15, the "loss of anonymity" that came with the confirmation process. The following weekend, his road to confirmation was once again in the spotlight as New York magazine published a cover feature titled, "The Case for Impeaching Clarence Thomas," which discussed his confirmation hearing in light of alleged sexual misconduct. The story incorporated reporting from an NLJ October 2016 report. Justice Thomas this week also penned a fiery dissent related to gun rights, a topic that's been featured more prominently in the news since Florida's deadly school shooting Feb. 14. This slideshow highlights the ups and downs from the jurist's week in the news, culled from reporting by The National Law Journal's Marcia Coyle.
