Thomas: Don't quit on values
Justice tells Ypsilanti law school graduates to forget about 'can't.'

By Maureen Feighan / The Detroit News

YPSILANTI — Roughly 30 years after his own graduation from Yale Law School, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas on Sunday urged the graduating class of the Ave Maria School of Law to maintain their faith and take “can’t” out of their vocabulary.

The conservative and sometimes controversial justice addressed roughly 900 people at Pease Auditorium in Ypsilanti, giving the 56 graduates and their friends and family members bits of advice he said he wished he would have received when he graduated and was anxious and worried because he couldn’t find a job in his native Georgia: Treat others with respect, maintain faith, be thankful for every day and never give up.

Tom Monaghan, former owner of Domino’s Pizza and founder of the ultraconservative Catholic law school in 1999, called on the school’s second graduating class to be “spiritual warriors.”

“With what you’ve been given here at Ave Maria School of Law, you’re obligated to get off the sidelines,” Monaghan said.

1. Sounds like they are trying to graduate

some activist judges- oh, I'm sorry, it's only liberals who make law from the bench :crazy:

2. These people don't respect other people or ideas.

With these folks, it's my way or the highway. Compromise is not in their vocabularies and I bet they suck as lawyers.
