Above the Law, Clarence Thomas Clarifies: His Clerks Aren’t ‘TTT’:
Justice Clarence Thomas went down to the Sunshine State this week, where he spent time speaking with law students at Stetson University and the University of Florida. …
One UF student asked Thomas for advice given the difficult job market out there for law grads right now. He responded:
I’m one of those kids who couldn’t get a job out of law school. I had a stack of rejection letters. That’s why I did not wind up in Georgia. I wound up in Jefferson City, Missouri. [Ed. note: He was appointed an assistant attorney general in Missouri after graduating from Yale in 1974.] And that started me on the path to the Supreme Court. Otherwise I’d be a tax lawyer in Georgia.

So what we have is the butterfly effect. If only someone had given Clarence Thomas a job in Georgia when he graduated from Yale!
The comment above is rather unkind and undoubtedly motivated by envy. It does this blog no credit, especially in light of recent kudos by the ABA and WSJ, to publish such comments.
I am a CT fan, but don’t be so hard on “stop, look…” My guess is that Justice Thomas would get a chuckle out of those wishing he was tax lawyering in Georgia. Life tenure always allows the last laugh.
