Clarence Thomas becomes the second longest-serving justice in Supreme Court history
Justice Clarence Thomas reached the milestone of becoming the second longest-serving justice in U.S. Supreme Court history on Thursday, surpassed only by the late William O. Douglas. Thomas, confirmed in 1991, would become the longest-serving justice in 2028 if he remains on the court. He has evolved from an outlier to a towering figure in the conservative legal movement, authoring landmark rulings on abortion, voting, and Second Amendment rights.
