While Scalia was an excellent writer (yet, not quite as clear as Richard Posner or Alex Kozinski), I think it&#x27;s unfair to dismiss Thomas.<p>Personally, I found his dissent in Gonzales v. Raich quite interesting and principled: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.law.cornell.edu&#x2F;supct&#x2F;html&#x2F;03-1454.ZD1.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.law.cornell.edu&#x2F;supct&#x2F;html&#x2F;03-1454.ZD1.html</a><p>Thomas&#x27; Concurrence in McDonald vs. Chicago is also very interesting, as it takes a very different approach to 14th amendment incorporation -- in a relatively unique situation where a judge had to incorporate a BoR amendment that has not been incorporated against the state&#x2F;local government before -- from the approach that used in nearly all the major civil rights&#x2F;liberties related decisions over the last 75 years:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.law.cornell.edu&#x2F;supct&#x2F;html&#x2F;08-1521.ZC1.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.law.cornell.edu&#x2F;supct&#x2F;html&#x2F;08-1521.ZC1.html</a><p>Personally, I find the cases where he disagrees with Scalia, or concurs with an Alito&#x2F;Scalia majority opinion to be quite  illuminating.
