Timothy Sandefur (Pacific Legal Foundation - Economic Liberties Project) has posted Clarence Thomas's Jurisprudence Unexplained (NYU Journal of Law & Liberty, Forthcoming) on SSRN. Here is the abstract:
This is a review of Henry Mark Holzer's The Supreme Court Opinions of Clarence Thomas. I contend that Holzer's book ignores significant debates within the conservative/libertarian community. I describe some of these debates - over the role of natural rights, the proper understanding of federalism, and the meaning of originalism - to determine how Justice Thomas' record compares to a freedom-centered interpretation of the Constitution.
