Contributing sentiments towards policy:

61% : In a recent speech, Thomas tied the nation's highest ideals to a conservative vision of limited government -- and launched a broadside on progressivism seen by critics as unfair and inappropriate.
49% : Once an outlier on the nation's highest court, Justice Clarence Thomas has become a towering figure in the conservative legal movement over the last decade as he helped secure landmark rulings on abortion, voting and Second Amendment rights.
39% : Following the appointment of three conservative justices by Republican President Donald Trump, Thomas is now the most senior member of a supermajority that's also overturned abortion as a constitutional right, ended affirmative action in college admissions and sharply limited the Voting Rights Act.
