Summary
In Turner v. Rogers,1 Justice Clarence Thomas distinguished himself as arguably the most progressive Justice on the U.S. Supreme Court – at least with respect to children’s rights. The case was brought by a noncustodial father who had accrued $13,814.72 in unpaid child support and was imprisoned for a year after being held in civil contempt for his failure to pay. It was just one of six times Mr. Turner had been held in contempt for failing to pay $51.73 per week to support his child between 2003 and 2010.2
