Justice Clarence Thomas has been sitting on the Supreme Court for 25 years as of this week. He shared his views on the job at The Heritage Foundation this week: “I think we are obligated to make the Constitution and what we write about the Constitution accessible to our fellow citizens.” The Constitution, Thomas continued, “is theirs, and I think we hide it from them when we write in language that’s inaccessible. […] Genius is not putting a two-dollar idea in a twenty-dollar sentence. It’s putting a twenty-dollar idea in a two-dollar sentence, without any loss of meaning. But that takes work. And it takes organization and editing. […] We owe it to people to present to them their Constitution in a way they can understand it to enfranchise them constitutionally.”
