From wiki-"Conservatism and originalism
Thomas is often described as an originalist, or textualist, and a member of the conservative wing of the Supreme Court. He is also often described as the most conservative member of the Supreme Court, although others gave Justice Scalia that designation."
Snip--" Although I authored Brand X, it is never too late to surrende[r] former views to a better considered position, Thomas wrote, borrowing a line from a 1950 case. Brand X appears to be inconsistent with the Constitution, the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), and traditional tools of statutorcy interpretation.

Title-Justice Thomas rues missed opportunity to curtail government power
Snip--"Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas in an unusual move on Monday issued a dissent that rebuked a decision that he authored 15 years ago.
Thomas on Monday explained how his views on the power of federal administrative agencies have evolved since he penned the 2005 decision in case known as Brand X, which reinforced a legal doctrine that has increasingly faced criticism from conservatives.

No big deal. I wouldn't have commented on it at all, except that I think the misspelled version has a certain ring to it.
