Paul Waldman is a journalist and author whose writing has appeared in dozens of publications. He writes The Cross Section, a newsletter about politics and culture, and co-hosts the Boundary Issues podcast. His latest book is 'White Rural Rage: The Threat to American Democracy.

Justice Clarence Thomas would appear to have all the ingredients of happiness: a loving marriage, meaningful employment with iron-clad job security, legions of admirers and a lifestyle the rest of us humble proles can only envy. Yet he is vexed, peeved, irritated to the point of distraction. Despite all that fate and billionaire patrons have bestowed on him, Thomas is still consumed with resentment.

So this is Thomas’ life: Nine months a year, he and his colleagues gleefully undo any government action or law they find displeasing, creating and destroying constitutional rights as they wish. The rest of the time, he reenacts “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous” with help from his wealthy pals. But to hear Thomas tell it, his days are grim, clouded by unfair criticism from those who concern themselves with such lowly matters as ethics.
