On Tuesday, Justice Clarence Thomas used the court's refusal to review a former coal baron's claims that lies in the media resulted in his failed Senate campaign to rail against decades of First Amendment precedent protecting the press.
Thomas said he agreed with the court's decision not to review the current case before them, however, he urged the justices to review a similar case in the future.
"I continue to adhere to my view that we should reconsider the actual-malice standard," the Bush appointee wrote.
