Business Insider is reporting that in the book Created Equal: Clarence Thomas in His Own Words, edited by Michael Pack and Mark Paoletta, Clarence Thomas sat down with Pack for "over 30 hours between November 2017 and March 2018" to discuss his career on the nation's highest court.

During those interviews, Thomas claimed his SCOTUS nomination came out of the blue.

As Thomas told Pack,
Quote
"I have no idea why or how I got nominated. All I know is that Justice [Thurgood] Marshall retired, and that was a shock. My reaction was, 'Oh no, this is going to be bad. People will go on a rumor that I'm one of the nominees.'

America doesn't know why you're on the the Court either, Clarence. Perhaps you should do America a solid and resign. America has read your opinions, it's not like you have the capability to reason law anyway. smile
