Clarence Thomas Criticizes Court for Not Hearing Florida’s CDL Dispute

Supreme Court Refused To Hear Florida’s Lawsuit Against Blue States Issuing Driver’s Licenses To Illegal Alien Truckers

Supreme Court Refused To Hear Florida’s Lawsuit Against Blue States Issuing Driver’s Licenses To Illegal Alien TruckersJim Hᴏft – Justice Clarence Thomas delivered a scathing dissent Tuesday as the Supreme Court refused to let Florida sue California and Washington over their lawless practice of handing out commercial driver’s licenses to illegal aliens who cannot read English road signs.

The Court denied Florida’s motion for leave to file a bill of complaint in the original jurisdiction case, leaving the state with “nowhere else to bring” its claims, Thomas wrote. He was joined by Justice Samuel Alito.

This decision comes after the horrific August 12, 2025, crash on the Florida Turnpike. Illegal alien Harjinder Singh, an Indian national who entered the U.S. illegally through the Mexican border, obtained CDLs from both California and Washington despite failing English proficiency tests at least ten times in Washington and once in California.

How the Ideas of 1776 Still Shape Our Life and Rights

Justice Thomas: The Ideas of 1776 Are a Way of Life, Not Intellectual Playthings

Justice Thomas: The Ideas of 1776 Are a Way of Life, Not Intellectual PlaythingsTim Hains – Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas argued that the principles of the Declaration of Independence should be lived, not treated as abstract, intellectualized theories during a lecture this week at the University of Texas, Austin.

“Even those who support them too often talk about them as if they were academic playthings. They overcomplicate them, take the spirit out of them, and discuss them in a way that puts us to sleep,” he said. “But the principles of the Declaration of Independence, as I encountered them, are a way of life. They are not an abstract theory that you only learn in college or law school, but the basic premises of our Constitution and government that you can learn from the people all around you.”

“We knew that life, liberty, and property were sacrosanct. Those truths were self-evident to the adults in our lives and were taught to us as indelible, undeniable truths.” Continue reading

Clarence Thomas Slams Brown v. Board of Education

Clarence Thomas Slams Brown v. Board of EducationNexGen News – The Supreme Court’s 6–3 decision on Thursday in Alexander v. South Carolina NAACP is a devastating blow to the fight against racial gerrymandering. Justice Samuel Alito’s opinion for the conservative supermajority guts a series of precedents that guarded against racist redistricting, granting state legislatures sweeping new authority to sort their residents between districts on the basis of skin color.

And yet, as bad as Alito’s opinion was, it didn’t go far enough for Justice Clarence Thomas, who penned a solo concurrence demanding a radical move: The Supreme Court, he argued, should overrule every precedent that limits gerrymandering—including the landmark cases establishing “one person, one vote”—because it has no constitutional power to redraw maps in the first place. And he places much of the blame for the court’s allegedly illegitimate intrusion into redistricting on a surprising culprit: Brown v. Board of Education. Continue reading
