Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas spoke at an event hosted by a former Republican in Utah. The most senior justice on the court worries about the long-term repercussions of trends such as "cancel culture" and a lack of civil debate. You can talk about packing or stacking the court. You can talk about it cavalierly. At some point the institution is going to be compromised, he told an audience of about 500 people at an upscale hotel in Salt Lake City. If the next generation is going to have civil society, you need to chip away at the respect of the institutions that are there. Hot-button political issues, including abortion, guns and voting rights, will be decided by the upcoming year's rulings. The court has become more conservative since three justices were nominated by Donald Trump. Progressives want to expand the number of justices on the court, including during the 2020 presidential primary. Democrats in Congress introduced a bill last year to add four justices to the bench, and President Joe Biden has convened a commission to study expanding the court. I'm afraid, particularly in this world of cancel culture attack, I don't know where you're going to learn to engage. In addition to condemning thecancel culture, Thomas also blasted the media for their inaccurate impressions of public figures, including himself, his wife and the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. Justice Thomas's wife has faced scrutiny this year for her political activity and involvement in groups that file briefs about cases in front of the Supreme Court, as well as using her Facebook page to amplify partisan attacks. As Congress prepares to hold confirmation hearings for Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, Thomas recalled his 1991 confirmation process as a humiliating and embarrassing experience that taught him not to be overly prideful. During congressional hearings, Thomas was grilled about sexual harassment allegations from Hill, leading him to call the experience a high tech lynching. Jackson would be the first Black woman on the court and would join Thomas as its second Black justice. Civility was one of Thomas' highest values. He said he learned to debate civilly with people who disagreed with him. He said he doesn't believe colleges are welcoming places for productive debate, particularly for students who support traditional families or oppose abortion. The future of abortion rights was not mentioned by Thomas. The court is expected to rule this year on whether Mississippi can ban abortions at 15 weeks.
