Clarence Thomas references Roe v. Wade draft opinion leak, says Supreme Court can't be 'bullied'
Clarence Thomas: Court cannot only provide 'the outcomes you want'
By Timothy H.J. Nerozzi | Fox News
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas dismissed the idea of pressuring the court for desirable outcomes at a judicial conference Friday.
Thomas spoke at the 11th Circuit judicial conference in Atlanta this week, where he discussed the Supreme Court's leaked draft opinion for the first time. The opinion would overturn Roe v. Wade if made official, sparking panic among Democrats and protests against the court.
"We can't be an institution that can be bullied into giving you just the outcomes you want. The events from earlier this week are a symptom of that.," Thomas said, according to reports.
Thomas did not dwell extensively on the topic, however, and only referenced the ongoing scandal at the Supreme Court in passing.
