For some people, they have a very close relationship with their dad, which makes it easy to celebrate Father's Day. But others may have experienced deep pain or even abuse from their dads. This Father's Day, Lisa-Jo Baker speaks to the people who have experienced deep hurt in their relationship with their father.

This God Hears Her conversation walks you through Lisa-Jo's powerful story of redemption.     Notes and Quotes:   “Our parents are neither all hero nor all villain. They are human people like us—they are a mix of things.” —Lisa-Jo Baker  "The patterns we pick up from our families of origin are like a language that you are learning subconsciously all the time. We can only change the patterns once we recognize them.” —Lisa-Jo Baker  “If we have unhealthy patterns in our childhood, there's a sense of resistance: How do I make space, how do I breathe, how do I feel safe?” —Lisa-Jo Baker  “This is the thing about the Lord;, he will take you slowly step by step. He will do the work. He will initiate. He will invite. He will orchestrate. It will be in His timing.” —Lisa-Jo Baker  “He is glacial in His timing, with such tenderness and such love. You don't have to be afraid. My hope is that by looking at my closet and seeing what happened when we started to unpack it, that the Holy Spirit would say to you, ‘okay, are you ready to look at your closet?' and you would trust Him with what comes next.” —Lisa-Jo Baker  “The truth of who [God] is gets braided together with the truth of who your heavenly Father is, and the work of our adult lives is separating out what is real and what isn't.” —Lisa Jo Baker  “There are certain key milestones that happen in a life, and the Holy Spirit is quick to come in alongside those moments.” —Lisa-Jo Baker  “He loves you so much that He had me write this story because He actually wants to meet you in your story.” —Lisa-Jo Baker  “When you invite the Holy Spirit into [the memories] with you, He does begin a sacred process of bearing witness to what happened. It's like having someone in the room with you saying ‘that shouldn't have happened', ‘that was wrong,' ‘that was terrible'.” —Lisa-Jo Baker  “The power of believing in the kind of God we do—who is not constrained by time—is that God is in fact able to move in and out of your timeline.” —Lisa-Jo Baker      Related Episodes:  GHH Ep 93 – Supporting Fathers with Dr. Meg Meeker: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/supporting-fathers/  GHH Ep 129 – Feeling, Not Fixing with Ryan Clevenger: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/supporting-fathers/  GHH Ep 160 – Intentional Fatherhood with Matt Adkins: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/intentional-fatherhood/    Links:   Lisa-Jo's Book: https://www.amazon.com/Wasnt-Roaring-Was-Weeping-Interpreting/dp/0525652868  Lisa-Jo's Website: https://lisajobaker.com/  Lisa-Jo's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lisajobaker/  God Hears Her website: https://go.odb.org/ghh191   Watch the episode on the God Hears Her YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@GodHearsHerODBM  Share Your Story: https://godhearsher.org/share-your-story/   God Hears Her email sign-up: https://go.odb.org/ghh-sign-upsfmc191   Subscribe on iTunes! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&utm_medium=godhearsher&utm_campaign=podcast  Shop God Hears Her books and resources: https://go.odb.org/ghh-shop191   Elisa's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/  Eryn's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/  Vivian's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vivmabuni/  Our Daily Bread Ministries website: https://go.odb.org/odbm191

Introducing the Band:Your hosts Scot Bertram (@ScotBertram) and Jeff Blehar (@EsotericCD) are joined by guest Jeff Pojanowski. Jeff is a professor at Notre Dame Law School, where he teaches and writes about philosophy of law and legal interpretation. He also writes occasional columns for The Pillar. He has been living happily in Northern Indiana after escaping Washington, D.C., 15 years ago.Jeff's Music Pick: Turnpike TroubadoursThis is a rarity for Political Beats, in which we present a show driven largely by our guest's preferences. Jeff Pojanowski joined us previously for Pavement and Crowded House and by now we trust his musical judgement. For quite a while, he's been selling us hard on taking up the career of Turnpike Troubadours for an episode. With the recent release of a new album, and additional endorsements of the band from others in our sphere, it seemed a good time to take him up on the offer.We're awfully glad we did.The Turnpike Troubadours, hailing from Oklahoma, have become one of the leading purveyors of Red Dirt country music, featuring songs that are masterclasses in storytelling, instrumentation, and authenticity. Look, if you don't like fiddle, you might be in the wrong place. Formed in 2005 by frontman Evan Felker and bassist R. C. Edwards, the band's early years were shaped by relentless touring. The first album, Bossier City, is almost more a collection of demos. The group wasn't quite fully formed yet. But on Diamonds & Gasoline (2010), everything began to click into place. As the band matured, their songwriting deepened without losing its raw immediacy. Albums like Goodbye Normal Street (2012) and The Turnpike Troubadours (2015) would be highlights of any band's career. Felker's songwriting stands out not just for its precision (though occasional lyrical duplicity can leave the listener wondering exactly what a song is about), but for its ability to evoke vivid rural landscapes. These are songs about places and towns that many Americans easily can picture in their mind. Musically, Kyle Nix's fiddle and Ryan Engleman's guitar work offered a dynamic counterpoint that always serves the song first.The band's career wasn't without turbulence, of course. After the 2017 release of A Long Way from Your Heart, the band entered a hiatus amid Felker's battle with alcoholism. Fans cheered the band's 2022 comeback, marked by the release of the Shooter Jennings-produced A Cat in the Rain. It's impossible to listen to songs on the record without putting them in the context of Felker's troubles. It's an album that likely had to be made, however, to bring the band to 2025's The Price of Admission, a release that all three of your hosts come to praise.There's probably still a lot of music left in the tank for Turnpike Troubadours, and there's no better time than now to jump on board to discover what you might have been missing.

John is joined by Samuel L. Bray, the John N. Matthews Professor of Law at Notre Dame Law School.  They discuss the increasing—and controversial— use of universal (often called “nationwide”) injunctions.  Universal injunctions are court orders that block government policies not just for the parties to a case, but for everyone, including nonparties to the litigation.  The term “nationwide injunctions” suggests that the controversy over them stems from the geographic scope of the injunctions.  However, federal district courts have long issued nationwide and international injunctions in many fields, including patent enforcement.  The issue raised by universal injunctions is that they regulate the government's behavior toward non-parties.Universal injunctions have proliferated in the past ten years, with nearly every major presidential initiative—regardless of administration—being halted by a single district court judge somewhere in the country.  Historically, such sweeping injunctions were virtually nonexistent until the 1960s.  Injunctions would apply only to the parties in a case, allowing the legal issues to percolate through multiple appellate courts before potentially reaching the Supreme Court for definitive resolution.Proponents argue that universal injunctions ensure equality and efficiency by preventing unconstitutional policies from being applied to anyone, not just the plaintiffs in the case at hand.  Critics argue universal injunctions undermine democratic governance, short-circuit legal development, and encourage forum shopping and rushed decision-making.  These injunctions may also produce class action outcomes without meeting the legal requirements for a class.The Supreme Court is now poised to address the issues posed by universal injunctions, in a case involving birthright citizenship.  Professor Bray believes the Court will limit universal injunctions using the equitable tradition codified in the Judiciary Act, which did not historically allow such remedies.  He expects the Court to reaffirm that injunctions should provide relief only to the parties in the case unless a class is certified.Podcast Link: Law-disrupted.fmHost: John B.

Matt is a Notre Dame Law School graduate and currently works as the CEO and Co-Founder of Attorney Share. Matt's story is anything but linear. From law student to buy-side M&A lawyer, to startup operator, his path is full of hard-earned wisdom and surprising turns.We kick off at the end of Matt's time at the University of San Diego, where he felt the need to step outside of his California roots. This led him to the University of Notre Dame, where he boldly pursued both an MBA and J.D. simultaneously—a testament to his drive and ambition. In this episode, Matt dives deep into his law school experience, emphasizing the critical importance of a strong support system and reflecting on how his career interests shifted as law school progressed.Post-law school, Matt took on the role of an Associate in M&A, quickly realizing that the corporate path wasn't quite what he envisioned. His pivot came when he joined Winc as VP of Legal and Compliance, marking his entry into the startup world. Matt was thrust into the fast-paced, unpredictable world of startups, growing alongside Winc as it skyrocketed to success—including helping guide the company through its IPO, a milestone few get to experience firsthand.As we edge closer to the present, Matt shares a serendipitous moment at a children's birthday party, where he unexpectedly connected with former podcast guest and now co-founder of Attorney Share, Robert Simon. Matt also reveals some of the common pitfalls in startups and serves up fantastic book recommendations for anyone navigating the intersection of law and business.This episode is packed with insights from Matt's unique journey, making it one of my personal favorites.

Historical Catholic teaching is that the church as well as the state is a potestas – a sovereign legal authority with the right to legislate and to enforce its legislation punitively. What conception of legal authority does this require? Thomas Pink visits the University of Notre Dame from King's College London to discuss. In his talk, Thomas Pink explains the concepts of legal authority and official theology within the church. We explore the role of magisterial teaching in shaping our beliefs and the distinction between canonical obligations and the intellectual and willing submission to fallible teachings. Understanding the nuances between magisterial authority, the educative purpose of legal authority, and the fluctuating nature of official theology across time and geography.

On May 23, the Supreme Court issued its opinion upholding a South Carolina congressional map against a challenge from the NAACP. In Alexander v South Carolina State Conference of the NAACP, the Court found that the South Carolina legislature had conducted a partisan gerrymander, permissible under the Court's precedents, and not an unconstitutional racial gerrymander. In this episode, two leading election and voting rights scholars, Joshua Douglas of the University of Kentucky College of Law, and Derek Muller of the University of Notre Dame Law School, join Jeffrey Rosento discuss the Alexander v. NAACP majority opinion, as well as the concurrence and dissent, and review what this decision means for the future of racial gerrymandering cases.   Resources: Alexander v. South Carolina State Conference of the NAACP (2024) Joshua Douglas, The Court v.

Have you ever had a parenting moment that you instantly regretted? Have you ever reacted in a way that reminded you of a side of your parents you didn't want to imitate? We've all been there, and on today's show I have the most incredible conversation about this with Lisa-Jo Baker. Lisa-Jo Baker is a bestselling author, lapsed lawyer, current senior acquisitions editor for HarperCollins, and the author of Never Unfriended, The Middle Matters and Surprised by Motherhood.

Bonjour! Stephanie here. I think today is the first time that I am welcoming an author on the show to talk about a memoir. I don't think I've ever done memoirs, but this one just gripped my heart. I just had to share it with you. Lisa-Jo Baker is someone I've met a few years ago at a friend's party. I was mesmerized by her story, her depth, her intelligence. She has serious brain power, but also kindness, thoughtfulness, and truly empathetic other-centeredness. “It was not roaring, it was weeping” is the title of her memoir. It's an honest and lyrical, almost poetic coming of age memoir of growing up in South Africa at the height of apartheid. It's an invitation to confront or inherited traumas or prejudices.  It is also an invitation to forgive our parents, so that we won't repeat the same mistakes. It is an invitation to dig deep inside ourselves and nurture self-awareness, so that we understand what triggers us, so we can rewire our minds to stop repeating harmful patterns, both individually and communally. It is an invitation to cultivate forgiveness and grace as the only way forward as humanity, together. When she found herself spiraling into a terrifying version of her father, screaming herself hoarse at her son, Lisa-Jo Baker realized that to go forward—to refuse to repeat the sins of our fathers—we must first go back. This is an unflinching look at a family that got it wrong and a real life example for all who feel worried they're too off-course to make the necessary corrections. Lisa-Jo's story shows that it's never too late to be free. Born white in the heart of Zululand during the height of apartheid, Lisa-Jo Baker longed to write a new future for her children—a longing that set her on a journey to understand where she fit into a story of violence and faith, history and race. Before marriage and motherhood, she came to the United States to study to become a human rights advocate. When she naively walked right into America's own turbulent racial landscape, she experienced the kind of painful awakening that is both individual and universal, personal and social. Years would go by before she traced this American trauma back to her own South African past. Lisa-Jo was a teenager when her mother died of cancer, leaving her with her father. Though they shared a language of faith and justice, she often feared him, unaware that his fierce temper had deep roots in a family's and a nation's pain. Decades later, old wounds reopened when she found herself repeating the violent patterns of her childhood in her own parenting. Only then did she begin the journey back to the beginning to find a way to break old cycles and write a new story for her family and the next generation. MEET LISA-JO BAKER LISA-JO BAKER is a bestselling author with a BA in English/prelaw from Gordon College and a JD from the University of Notre Dame Law School. Lisa-Jo has lived and worked on three continents in the human rights field and subsequently spent nearly a decade leading the online community of women called (in)courage as their editor in chief and community manager.

On September 26, 2020, then-President Donald Trump nominated Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the United States Supreme Court. Upon confirmation, Justice Barrett took the seat of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who had passed away one week before Justice Barrett's nomination. Writing in the Fall 2023 issue of the Criminal Justice Magazine, Daniel Kaplan observes that Justice Barrett's voting pattern in the court's criminal cases has been notably Scalia-esque. That's perhaps not surprising, given that Justice Barrett was a law clerk for Justice Scalia after her graduation from Notre Dame Law School. She remains the only former Scalia clerk among the 9 justices currently on the court. Daniel Kaplan is an Assistant Federal Public Defender in Phoenix, Arizona. His article is "Amy Coney Barrett: A Mellower Scalia". You can read his article here

I am so excited to bring you this episode with a long time online friend, Lisa Jo Baker, author of the newly released book "It Wasn't Roaring, It Was Weeping." In this powerful conversation, Lisa Jo shares her journey of healing from a childhood marked by anger and loss, and how God is rewriting the narrative of her family's story. Growing up with an angry father and experiencing the loss of her mother at the age of 18, Lisa Jo struggled with her own temper and the legacy of pain passed down through generations. However, through difficult conversations with her father and a profound encounter with Jesus, she discovered the transformative power of God's grace. In "It Wasn't Roaring, It Was Weeping," Lisa Jo courageously shares her family's story of redemption and healing. From unraveling the roots of her anger to embracing forgiveness and grace, she offers hope and encouragement to anyone who feels trapped by their past. Through vulnerability and authenticity, Lisa Jo reminds us that it's never too late for a fresh start. With God's guidance, we can rewrite the script of our lives and experience true freedom and wholeness. We also talk about several of her other books, including, The Middle Matters, which is still one of my all time favorite books and her book and Bible study on friendship. I truly loved our conversation and pray that it helps you in your journey today! Bio: Lisa-Jo Baker is the bestselling author of Never Unfriended, Surprised by Motherhood, and The Middle Matters.

Irma (pronounced Ear-ma) Herrera is a civil rights lawyer turned playwright and solo performer, and she uses storytelling and theater to open hearts and minds. After three decades of working in pursuit of fairness and justice, she turned her attention to storytelling on stage. This work is an extension of her social justice advocacy, and she uses the skills developed as a lawyer to explore themes of othering and belonging. Her one-woman show “Why Would I Mispronounce My Own Name?” is a work of creative nonfiction that is a mashup of personal narrative, lessons in American history, and stories about respecting people's names, even when they don't sound and look like “real” American names. In episode 433 of the Fraternity Foodie Podcast, we find out when Irma noticed her love of languages, why she decided to attend Notre Dame Law School, where she got the idea for her one-woman show called "Why Would I Mispronounce My Own Name?", how the Muslim ban, the racializing of COVID-19 and the rise in hate crimes against Asian Americans, and laws targeting trans youth are all related, why she believe that her multiple identities are indivisible, and what we can do to create organizations that treat everyone with respect and dignity. Enjoy!

On February 8, 2024, the Supreme Court heard Oral Argument in Trump v. Anderson. The Court considered whether the Colorado Supreme Court erred in ordering former President Donald Trump excluded from the 2024 presidential primary ballot.Legal questions involved in the case include whether Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment is "self-executing" or requires an additional act of Congress, whether the events of January 6, 2021, constitute an insurrection, and if so whether Donald Trump participated in that insurrection, and whether the President is an "officer of the United States" as meant by Section 3.On March 4, 2024 the Court issued a 9-0 decision overturning the Colorado Supreme Court's December ruling, holding that President Trump is not precluded from appearing on Colorado's presidential primary ballot.Featuring:Prof. Derek T. Muller, Professor of Law, Notre Dame Law School

Advocate, author and attorney Charles H. Rose, III, joins Tim to talk about the art of cross-examination in the court of law. Charles is a successful lawyer, a trial advocate, an author, and currently, he's the Dean of the Pettit College of Law at Ohio Northern University. In this episode, he talks about one of the most dramatic features of any courtroom, the cross-examination of a witness at trial. Cross-examination is often where cases are won or lost in the court of law. This episode was originally released on February 28, 2022. https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/shapingopinion/228_-_Charles_Rose_-_The_Art_of_Cross_Examination.mp3 Watch just about any movie or TV show where the drama revolves around a court case and sooner or later the climax of the plot will revolve around a particular witness or testimony. The trial lawyers question their own witnesses in litigation, and their opposing attorneys have the chance to cross-examine those same witnesses. They get to challenge claims and statements that were made. They go back over previous testimony and look for gaps or contradictions in statements, all to win the case. In many court cases, cross-examinations are usually tense. A case can be won or lost with every witness who takes the stand. Our guest today, Charles Rose is regarded as one of the better attorneys at cross-examination. While he's now law school dean at Ohio Northern University, and he's served on the faculty at other law schools, he's had a decorated career in the U.S. Army. He served as a judge advocate where he's focused on persuasion techniques. He teaches and researches in the areas of advocacy, criminal procedure, evidence and professional ethics. Links Charles H.

In this episode of Indiana 250 Off the Record, host Nate Feltman talks with the Dean of the Notre Dame Law School, Marcus Cole. In their discussion, Marcus shares personal stories as a son of immigrants growing up in Pittsburgh, how lawyers have “super powers,” his journey to becoming a law professor, and his work on religious liberty and international initiatives at Notre Dame.  Their discussion also touches on important topics such as freedom of speech on college campuses, Marcus' philosophy of having an impact on the world, his personal perspective on leadership, underscoring the importance of doing what's right rather than what's popular.

In the past few weeks, there have been several notable developments in lawsuits seeking to disqualify Donald Trump from the 2024 election under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. The Minnesota Supreme Court dismissed a case against Trump but invited the petitioners to refile once Trump won the GOP nomination. A court in Michigan rejected a challenge to Trump's eligibility on the grounds that Congress, not the courts, should ultimately decide. And, most recently, a Colorado trial court held that, although Trump did engage in insurrection before and during Jan. 6, Section 3 does not apply to presidents.As these and other cases make their way through the courts, and with the potential that the Supreme Court will at some point weight in, we're bringing you another portion of a conference held last month at the University of Minnesota Law School (for a previous excerpt, see the November 1 edition of the Lawfare Podcast). This panel, focusing on the interplay between the Section 3 challenges and election law, was moderated by University of Minnesota Law School Professor Nick Bednar, and featured Professor Ned Foley of the Ohio State College of Law, Professor Derek Muller of Notre Dame Law School, and Professor Andrea Katz of Washington University School of Law.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.

Former federal prosecutor Jimmy Gurulé, a professor at Notre Dame Law School, discusses the latest in the RICO case against Donald Trump and 18 others in Georgia. June Grasso hosts.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As the 2024 presidential election inches closer, legal scholars are hotly debating whether former President Trump's actions in relation to Jan. 6 might have disqualified him (and many others) from public office under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. But far less attention has been given to how precisely this disqualification should be implemented so as to bring the ultimate issue to the Supreme Court for decision—preferably before the 2024 election is under way. To discuss these issues, Lawfare Senior Editor Scott R. Anderson recently sat down with two leading election law experts and friends of the podcast: Professor Ned Foley from The Ohio State University's Moritz College of Law; and Professor Derek Muller of the University of Notre Dame Law School. They discussed how Section 3 might be interpreted, the ways it might be implemented in relation to former President Trump, and what other avenues for enforcement might apply against other people facing a similar possibility of disqualification.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.

Matt Crawford speaks with author Mary Harper about her book, The Sound of Her Voice: My Blind Parents' Story. An inspiring chronicle of a remarkable couple (both blind since childhood) who - against all odds- lived full and productive lives. Mario became the first blind graduate of Notre Dame Law School and was later elected a Judge of two different counties. Jane ran a household of four sighted children without assistance. Both born in the early 20th century before the ADA and many programs for assistance that we take for granted today. What this story is mostly about though is that of love, and love for each other. This is a beautiful book that is sure to inspire and warm your heart.

EPISODE 234: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:42) SPECIAL COMMENT: He's behaved like a lot of things before but until now Trump has NEVER sounded so desperately scared. “CONGRESS WILL HOPEFULLY NOW LOOK AT THE EVER CONTINUING WITCH HUNTS AND ELECTION INTERFERENCE” it began.“CONGRESS, PLEASE INVESTIGATE THE POLITICAL WITCH HUNTS,” he begs. All caps. “THE ONLY WAY THEY CAN WIN IS TO CHEAT. STOP THEM NOW!,” he pleads. ALSO all caps. It's everything but “Mommy I'm scared. They caught me.” What caused this? I mean, apart from the insanity? Via Discovery, he's received much of the Department of Justice evidence supporting the 37 counts against him, including all the audio tapes – the vainglorious interviews he gave which are apparently peppered with references to documents and secrets and I-can't-tell-you-this-but-here-goes. Plus: if he didn't before, HE now knows WHO testified against him and what they said. There is another Sam Alito All-Expenses-Paid-Vacation scandal. It is not nearly as startling and quid pro quo-ish as taking a 100-thousand dollar private jet trip to Alaska courtesy of a Hedge Fund Guy and then years later voting for a Supreme Court judgment that gave Hedge Fund Guy two billion, 400 hundred million. CNN got on-the-record confirmation from the director of the Notre Dame University Religious Liberty Initiative that her group did INDEED pay the traveling expenses for Alito to go to its conclave in Rome last July and give a speech mocking anybody who dared criticize him. No laws were broken, only the basic tenets of judicial honesty. The Notre Dame University Religious Liberty Initiative has a legal clinic, and since its founding in 2020 it has filed a series of “Friend Of The Court” briefs on cases being heard by… the Supreme Court. Happily, Sam Alito always has another hair he can split. Quote: “My understanding is that Notre Dame Law School's Religious Liberty Initiative has a number of components, only one of which is a clinic that, like the legal clinics at many other law schools, files amicus briefs in the Supreme Court. I was not invited to speak in Rome by the CLINIC.” And Marjorie Taylor Greene has extended the “Marjorie Taylor Greene called Lauren Boebert a quote “Little Bitch” unquote” story another day. She was good enough to explain to Semafor News WHY she called Lauren Boebert a quote “LITTLE BITCH” unquote. “She has genuinely been a nasty little bitch to me.” Greene re-told the story as witnesses had broken it to The Daily Beast: Anna Paulina Lunatic was talking about impeachment when Boebert came over to Greene to complain about Greene's recent remarks. “I told her exactly what I think about her.” B-Block (15:10) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: Oh cool two more Republican presidential candidates. Moms For Liberty backs down, then backs down again, after quoting Hitler about how to own children and thus the future. Jeff Zucker's CNN journey could go from getting fired to buying the place. Or, since it's in The New York Post: maybe not. (18:40) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Canadian Member of Parliament Matt Jeneroux addresses his nation's crisis. He wants an "official grievance" filed against Taylor Swift for not coming to Canada on her next tour. Why don't you try The World Court At The Hague? The lesson of the lost Titanic Submersible? Charlie Kirk says it's don't hire black pilots. And there are bigots and cowards and homophobes. But if you FOLD to homophobes for money and pretend you're not folding to them but doing it to protect the people you just abandoned, you are worse than all the kinds of homophobes put together. And that is National Hockey League Commissioner Gary Bettman.

To many Americans, Clarence Thomas makes no sense. For more than 30 years on the Court, he seems to have been on a mission — to take away rights that benefit Black people. As a young man, though, Thomas listened to records of Malcolm X speeches on a loop and strongly identified with the tenets of Black Nationalism. This week on More Perfect, we dig into his writings and lectures, talk to scholars and confidants, and explore his past, all in an attempt to answer: what does Clarence Thomas think Clarence Thomas is doing?
