Clarence Thomas to increasingly dissent on public figure defamation standards
Justice Thomas, along with Gorsuch, dissented in the Dershowitz v. CNN case, calling for a reconsideration of the Sullivan precedent. This indicates a potential pattern of Thomas seeking to lower the bar for public figures to win defamation suits, which could be a developing trend in his jurisprudence.
Clarence Thomas's dissents align with Trump-aligned legal positions
Thomas's dissents in the mail-in ballot grace period case and the birthright citizenship case, both of which could be seen as favorable to Trump's political stances, suggest a pattern of alignment with Trump-adjacent legal arguments. This is notable given the recent ruling on Fed independence where he was in the majority.
