Clarence Thomas, known as the "Intellectual leader of the Supreme Court" assumed office in 1991, and was appointed by George H.W. Bush. He is considered to be one of the most conservative Justices in the court, sticking to his views no matter what. He is a strong Supreme Court Justice, but he is also silent; he hasn't spoken formally during a Supreme Court case in five years.
Clarence Thomas is an interesting person mainly because he is a black republican. The republican party focused on that because there are not that many minorities on their side. He is heavily against Obamacare, and is considered to be an originalist (A person interested in sticking to the exact words in the US Constitution). He also tends to disagree frequently with the Supreme Court.
