George Washington University has decided to stand by US Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, despite protests from students calling for his termination.
In addition to his role on the court, Thomas is an adjunct professor at the university, where he teaches a constitutional law seminar at its law school. Citing Thomas' concurring opinion in overturning Roe v. Wade -- as well as his wife's role in the effort to overturn the 2020 electoral result and his stated desire to revisit decisions concerning same-sex marriage and contraception -- more than 7,000 people have signed a petition calling for his termination.
"Justice Thomas has been a consistent critic of the Court's legal philosophy on substantive due process for many years," the email said.
