35 years ago TODAY, Justice Clarence Thomas began testifying in his confirmation hearings to be a Justice of the Supreme Court. The Left threw everything at him to defeat him, and then to destroy him personally. He never wavered, never backed down. In the end, he testified longer than any Supreme Court nominee. He is now the 2nd longest serving Justice in history and our nation’s greatest Justice. Watch the fantastic documentary, Created Equal: Clarence Thomas in His Own Words to learn about the truly inspiring life of this American Hero! And read Justice Thomas’s beautiful and gripping memoir, My Grandfather’s Son. Links👇

.@AGToddBlanche is 100% correct that DOJ is not independent and is in fact supervised by President Trump. ALL executive power flows from the President. Presidents George Washington, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson personally directed the initiation or termination of specific federal prosecutions. As Professor Sai Prakash, a former Justice Clarence Thomas clerk, has written in a compelling law review article, titled The Chief Prosecutor, “presidential control of official prosecutions was not something controversial (or worse yet, contrary to law) … The presidents understood that they were constitutionally empowered to direct official prosecutions.  Presidents ordered prosecutions commenced and halted, sometimes doing both in the same case!” President George Washington personally ordered prosecutions of those involved in the Whiskey rebellion in 1792 and 1793. But after concluding that two men had not been involved in the Rebellion, Washington directly ordered the Pennsylvania federal district attorney to not pursue charges. President John Adams personally and vigorously directed his Attorney General and district attorneys to prosecute specific individuals for violating the Alien and Sedition Acts, and in certain circumstances, drop some of those prosecutions. President Jefferson, who had publicly criticized this law and the Adams’ Administration enforcement of it, reversed course and ordered these prosecutions dropped. As Jefferson explained in a private letter: “The President is to have the laws executed. He may order an offense then to be prosecuted. If he sees a prosecution put into a train which is not lawful, he may order it to be discontinued and put into a legal train.” For example, President Thomas Jefferson ordered the arrest of Aaron Burr for treason. Jefferson publicly stated Burr was guilty before Burr was indicted by a grand jury. And Jefferson personally directed the Burr prosecution. President Theodore Roosevelt personally ordered his DOJ to prosecute the Northern Securities Company for antitrust violations, and to not prosecute U.S. Steel under antitrust laws. President Reagan directed his DOJ to close a criminal antitrust investigation; President Bush ordered his DOJ to conduct a criminal investigation into the Rodney King case; and President Obama directed his DOJ in the prosecution of police officers. These are just a few examples of the norm of Presidential control over prosecution. Post-Watergate laws that sought to break the centuries old understanding that the President controls prosecutions by creating prosecutors independent of the President are now widely understood to be completely unconstitutional. The Department of Justice is not, nor has ever been, an independent agency not subject to the control of the President. It is part of the Executive Branch and the Attorney General and all U.S. Attorneys are under the direct control of President Trump. The Leftist Media needs to stop this gaslighting. Thank you, Attorney General Blanche for the superb job you are doing.
