Geee Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 AP: WASHINGTON (AP) -- Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas called on fellow conservatives Thursday to continue the work of the late Justice Antonin Scalia to keep the power of the courts and other branches of government in check. Thomas told 1,700 people at a dinner in honor of Scalia that the Supreme Court has too often granted rights to people that are not found in the Constitution. He cited the decision in 2015 that made same-sex marriage legal across the country. Thomas said he and his longtime friend and colleague formed an "odd couple" of a white New Yorker and a black man from Georgia. He paraphrased Lincoln's Gettysburg address to exhort the audience to "be dedicated to the unfinished business for which Justice Scalia gave his last full measure of devotion."
