During two distinct occasions on Friday, Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito raised concerns about the current state of America. They both highlighted the perilous decline of freedom of speech and criticized Washington, D.C., as a hotbed of cancel culture, describing it as “hideous.”
Justice Thomas addressed a gathering of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit in Point Clear, Alabama, while Justice Alito gave a commencement speech at Franciscan University of Steubenville, a Catholic institution in Ohio. Both conservative judges depicted a grim scenario but also urged for proactive measures and provided words of encouragement.
During the event in Alabama, Justice Thomas was asked to comment by the moderator, U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle, to share his thoughts on working “in a world that seems meanspirited.”
“I think there’s challenges to that,” Justice Thomas said. “We’re in a world and we—certainly my wife and I the last two or three years it’s been—just the nastiness and the lies, it’s just incredible.”
