Wade. Justice Thomas elaborated, saying that the leak does damage to the rule of law and institutions in general. “You can’t have a civil society--a free society--without a stable legal system,” he added. His remarks came during an interview at the Old Parkland Conference in Dallas. He also discussed other issues including free speech at colleges and universities, the influence that his mentor Thomas Sowell had on him, his disagreement on always abiding by legal precedent, and his disapproval of protests that happen near public officials' homes. https://www.c-span.org/video/?517582-1/justice-clarence-thomas-racial-inequality-supreme-court May 13, 2024 David Brooks The Economic Club of Chicago https://econclubchi.org/event/david-brooks/ May 13, 2024 Frog Jumping Day https://twain.lib.virginia.edu/projects/price/frog.htm https://www.timeanddate.com/holidays/fun/frog-jumping-day May 13, 2024 TBD Attorney General Garland Meets with Election Threats Task Force Attorney General Merrick Garland holds a meeting of the Justice Department’s Election Threats Task Force. https://www.c-span.org/video/?535600-1/attorney-general-garland-meets-election-threats-task-force 3
