CLARENCE THOMAS

Four of the nine justices graduated throughout the 1970s, a time when the average student loan debt was around $1,000.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson has written her first majority opinion for the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court will hear two challenges to President Biden's student loan debt relief plan on Tuesday.

The Supreme Court won’t have far to look for a personal take on the “crushing weight” of student debt that underlies the Biden administration’s college loan forgiveness plan.

The Supreme Court won't have far to look if it wants a personal take on the “crushing weight” of student debt that underlies the Biden administration’s college loan forgiveness plan. Justice Clarence Thomas was in his mid-40s and in his third year on the nation's highest court when he paid off the last of his debt from his time at Yale Law School. Thomas, the court's longest-serving justice and staunchest conservative, has been skeptical of other Biden administration initiatives.

Supreme Court justices sounded split over whether social media firms can be sued for aiding terrorists.

The case focuses on a law known as Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996, written years before creation of Google and most modern tech giants.

A lawsuit against YouTube from the family of an American college student who was killed by Islamic State gunmen in Paris in 2015 is at the center of a closely watched Supreme Court case being argued Tuesday.

A state senator from Georgia condemned the idea of raising a statue dedicated to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, and used an old American slur to disparage the judge.

Republican Georgia lawmakers are again trying to erect a statue of U.S. Supreme Court Justice and Georgia native Clarence Thomas on the state Capitol grounds in Atlanta, in what many Democrats, particularly Black ones, see as an insensitive display of partisan power. The Georgia state Senate voted 32-20 along party lines on Tuesday to mandate a statue of the Pin Point, Georgia, native. Minority Democrats had proposed amending the measure to also mandate a statue of the late Georgia congressman and civil rights icon John Lewis, but then pulled back the amendment.

California lawmakers are going to try to officially repeal a 15-year-old voter initiative meant to ban same-sex marriage in the state.

Democrats cited Mitch McConnell and Ginni Thomas, wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, for the need to impose a code of ethics on the court.

Critics of the court have intensified calls for reform, placing greater scrutiny on the justices' behavior and the activities of their spouses.

With Democrats' hold on the Senate tenuous, some argue that at least one of the liberal justices should retire. If they did, it would be extraordinarily unusual.

GOP legislators, stung by the public scrutiny of Ginni Thomas’s emails and the work of the Cyber Ninjas, retreats into secrecy.

Collegiality is scarce, and tensions are apparent.

It was the court's first decision addressing legal challenges from watershed ruling that 2nd amendment generally protects the right to carry a gun for self-defense.

Months after the unprecedented leak of the U.S. Supreme Court draft opinion that overturned Roe v. Wade, lawmakers in North Dakota have struck down a bill to criminalize court leaks.

After Jan. 6, the Supreme Court was forced to take up cases regarding the very administration that put three justices on the bench.

The attack on Black Florida Rep. Byron Donalds as a "prop" is the latest example of racially charged rhetoric against minority Republicans by liberal figures.

MSNBC host Joy Reid dismissed the historic nomination of Rep-elect Byron Donalds as House Speaker as a GOP “troll” move during “The ReidOut” Wednesday.

"I am certain I never spoke with him about any of the legal challenges to the 2020 election," Ginni Thomas said of interactions with her husband.

Virginia Thomas, the conservative activist and wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, told the House Jan. 6 committee that she regretted text messages and emails that she sent in the aftermath of the 2020 election to Mark Meadows, former President Trump’s then-chief of staff, and others.

Virginia Thomas says she regrets sending texts to then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows after the 2020 election, telling the House Jan_ 6 committee in a September interview that “I would take them all back if I could today.”.

Thomas said that the period after Trump was projected to lose the election was an "emotional time" for her.

In courtrooms across America, defendants get additional prison time for crimes juries found they didn’t commit.

The Supreme Court justice and the lawyer who worked to help Trump try to overturn the 2020 election have a remarkable relationship that began years before Eastman served as Thomas’s clerk, a Post examination found.

In the oral arguments, anyway, it looked like the Four Seasons Total Landscaping of legal cases.

How this year’s Supreme Court ruling on Second Amendment rights is changing everything
