Quote by Clarence Thomas
And I dont think that government has a role in telling people how

And I dont think that government has a role in telling people how to live their lives. Maybe a minister does, maybe your belief in God does, maybe theres another set of moral codes, but I dont think government has a role. – Clarence Thomas
