From Senator Ted Cruz, a timely, authoritative exploration of Clarence Thomasâs life, ideas, and lasting impact on constitutional law
For over three decades, Clarence Thomas has stood at the center of American law, enduring withering criticism and personal attacks while writing some of the most brilliant, accessible, transformational opinions in the Supreme Courtâs history. His insistence that the Constitution, not merely judicial precedent, is the highest authority has reshaped American jurisprudence, and his lasting impact on the trajectory of constitutional law is undeniable.
In this powerful and timely book, Senator Ted Cruz draws on his own Supreme Court clerkship, on his many years as a Supreme Court advocate, and on his now decades-long friendship with Justice Thomas to paint a portrait of one of the most consequentialâand misunderstoodâAmericans in our nationâs history. Drawing on nine hours of exclusive, wide-ranging, and deeply personal one-on-one interviews with the Justice, Cruz reveals how Thomasâs most formative early experiencesâlike growing up in crushing poverty in segregated Georgia, his early encounters with extreme racism, and his brief stint in radical left-wing politicsâforged a lifelong commitment to independence, self-reliance, and truth.
From Thomas's early years studying to be a priest to his role today as the intellectual force behind some of the Courtâs most significant decisions, Going Further traces the formation of one of our Constitutionâs staunchest defenders and makes a rousing argument about why his life, his ideas, and his courage matter now more than ever.
