Justice Clarence Thomas Becomes Second Longest-Serving Supreme Court Justice
Justice Clarence Thomas has become the second longest-serving justice in the history of the U.S. Supreme Court. Appointed in 1991, Thomas has played a significant role in the conservative legal movement, contributing to major rulings on abortion, voting rights, and the Second Amendment. His tenure has been marked by both influence and controversy, including recent scrutiny over ethics questions related to luxury trips.
