Bob Greenwell: Utahns are partly to blame for having Clarence Thomas embarrass the high court.

In this Nov. 30, 2018, photo, Supreme Court Associate Justice Clarence Thomas, appointed by President George H. W. Bush, sits with fellow Supreme Court justices for a group portrait at the Supreme Court Building in Washington.

Unfortunately, Utahns share a great deal of the blame for having this unsavory person occupying a seat on the Supreme Court. Sen. Orrin Hatch, perhaps more than any other person, pushed for the confirmation of Thomas, this in spite of his known character flaws. Thomas himself has admitted on several occasions that he would not have been confirmed without the efforts of Utah’s Orrin Hatch.On Friday, March 11, 2022,at the Grand America Hotel in Salt Lake City at which 500 people attended.

This statement was made at a time when Thomas himself was doing very serious damage to the integrity of the Supreme Court.
