Scope and Contents
The text is a response from Dick Armey to a constituent expressing opposition to the Clarence Thomas nomination and support for judges "legislating from the bench." Armey disagrees with the constituent, stating that he supports Judge Thomas because he believes in judicial restraint and interpreting the Constitution as written. Armey criticizes Justices Brennan and Marshall for substituting their personal beliefs for the Constitution and believes that Supreme Court Justices should be impartial judges, not crusaders. He thanks the constituent for contacting him and offers assistance in the future.
