Justice Thomas Is ‘Man of Integrity’ Says Ex-Colleague Breyer

Retired Justice Stephen Breyer said Clarence Thomas is a “man of integrity,” as his former US Supreme Court colleague faces ethics questions over ties to a Republican donor.

“As far as I’m concerned, I sat next to him on the bench for 28 years. I like him. He’s a friend of mine. I’ve never seen him do anything underhanded or say anything underhanded,” Breyer said at a federal circuit court conference in Boston Thursday.

“My personal point of view is he’s a man of integrity,” Breyer told attendees at the US Court of Appeals for the First Circuit event.
