Justice Thomas: We Have Become The Most Dangerous Branch When Justices Wade Into Politics

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas: “when we do that, and we begin to venture into political, the legislative or executive branch lanes, and resolving things that are better left to those branches, where people actually have some input and some opportunity to participate in the elective, vectorial process as to who those leaders are, those of us particularly in the federal judiciary with lifetime appointments, are asking for trouble. I think a lot of the pressured the that on the nomination and selection process is because of that, I think the court was, was thought to be the least dangerous branch, and we may have become the most dangerous.”
