I usually prefer transcripts, but for reasons that might be obvious the media has not elected to provide a transcript of this speech that I can find. You can advance to about 45m in if you want to hear the criticisms of Progressivism as basically hostile to the Declaration of Independence, and of Woodrow Wilson -- a man Justice Thomas has reason to hold in disdain quite apart from Wilson's Progressivism. Within about ten minutes of beginning this critique, he reminds the audience that it was old Woodrow who decided to segregate the Federal government and its workforce.
We have been fortunate to have his scholarly mind and quiet presence on the Court for so long. He has no clear equal, nor anyone sadly who is obviously a fit replacement when the day comes for him to retire.
