Opinion of Clarence Thomas when it comes to racial constitutional issues.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Obvious HP although it's true that he does occasionally make some interesting decisions (although not always good.) The best I can say for him is that he's sometimes pretty good on free speech and the First Amendment, moreso when his buddy Scalia was around because Scalia was actually pretty strong on that in general, which elevates him a bit over Alito, by far the worst Justice.

Was Scalia the one who wrote that he desperately wished bans on flag desecration were constitutional, but it just wasn't so?

I didn't read his Texas v. Johnson decision but he was the only conservative to rule in the majority on that one so it's possible.

Well, Gorsuch has matched or exceeded Scalia in his commitment to free expression.  The problem is he is kind of stranded now because Barrett and especially Kavanaugh are much more deferential to the government than RBG and Kennedy were.

I'm pretty sure if something like Texas v. Johnson came before the Court today, at least one of those as well would rule for flag burners. Roberts probably would too (he strikes me as someone who may not have back in 1989 when those laws were widespread and universal but after now after 30 years wouldn't consider the issue worth revisiting.)
