Justice Thomas wonders why he even needs to say he's a textualist.

"It’s a Constitution that’s written in words... What, do people think it’s written in symbols? You need to say you’re a textualist[?] What else am I supposed to do, use a Ouija board, chicken bones?”

There's also this:
Thomas criticizes elite law schools for leaning left and breeding cynicism. He says his travels, especially in the Midwest, give him hope.
That amuses me, here in the Midwest... that special little corner of the Midwest we call Madison, Wisconsin. Thomas was speaking from western Iowa, whither he absconded to get away from Washington, D.C. where they "only talk to each other in a sort of cynical, smarmy way."
