Clarence Thomas...

[LOKI]

WARNING PLEASE TURN OFF YOUR SARCASM METER. Mr. Thomas thinks that the SCOTUS should revue contraception and same sex marriages. Well while we're at it why don't we revue interracial marriages and the right of an African American to hold public office? I mean if you wish to return to pre civil war norms, let's go all in! Your country is in the ditch and I'm afraid it's headed for that oak tree....

[Canoez]

Clarence and Ginni may be in for a surprise if the rest of the conservative justices decide Loving should go away.

[LeeG]

Amazing what the electoral college and apathetic majority can do.

The north west shore of Lake Ontario concurs with these remarks.

CT... and his wife... are evil.

This bit of the Northwest corner of the US does as well.

I hold Biden responsible for Coke Can Clarence the Pervert, a disgusting and repulsive individual, being in our court.
The rest of that lot are on McConnell and the radical and corrupt republican party.

But... I will still vote for Biden tomorrow over any other alternative today

How long before they repeal the right to contraceptives?

"All rulings that concern the 14th Amendment's due process clause" — there are a lot of decisions grounded in the 14th Amendment's due process clause, and not just "Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell" (contraception access, anti-sodomy laws, and same-sex marriage respectively)..

Justice Thomas says the Supreme Court should 'reconsider' rulings that protect access to contraception and same-sex marriage as the court overturns Roe v. Wade

Thomas, . . . called for the court to examine all rulings that concern the 14th Amendment's due process clause, specifically pointing out decisions that protected contraception access, same-sex relationships, and same-sex marriages. The due process clause ensures that any American has the right to due process before someone can take away their inalienable rights.

"For that reason, in future cases, we should reconsider all of this Court's substantive due process precedents, including Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell," Thomas, widely considered to be the court's most conservative justice, wrote in a concurring opinion.


Some of the decisions that Thomas would like to review include (https://constitutioncenter.org/blog/...th-amendment):

- Gideon v. Wainwright —*Right to an attorney.

- Mapp v. Ohio — Use of evidence obtained in an illegal search.

- Gitlow v. New York — Bill of Rights protections extended to state and local governments, not just the Federal government.

- Lochner v. New York — Wage and hours laws.

The 'originalists' on SCOTUS, Clarence Thomas being one, should visit another issue where the US has veered away from what is literally in the Constitution:

Article 1 Section 8 says among other things

To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years;

To provide and maintain a Navy;

Nowhere does the Constitution mention the Air Force, the Space Agency, the US Cyber Command.

How is it that these branches of the US military were overlooked in 1787?

CT... and his wife... are evil.

And what are the consequences? Not a one.

And what are the consequences? Not a one.

Consequences for such as he are not always immediate, or even soon.

[S.V. Airlie]

Has anyone ever heard Clarence talk or does his wife do that for him?

It makes me boil when people laud George Bush the First. That guy was a complete tool of Big Oil, gave us Dan Quayle and Clarence Thomas, AND his miserable son. Puh-lease.

My dad was an oil guy and Republican. Had no good words to say about Bush Sr.

Time to invest in Church and Dwight?? Trojan is one of their brands....

[Nicholas Scheuer]

What's Thomas gon'na do when they reverse inter-racial marriage? Go whiteface? Or will she go black-face?

[WI-Tom]

And what are the consequences? Not a one.

Well, his ilk do a lot of damage, some of it virtually impossible to repair.

But one consequence--and really, not one I take lightly--is that he has to be the person he is, and live that life. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. Even him.

I'm very glad that he's an American. Well, at least, I'm very glad that he's not a New Zealander because thats where I live and I dont want him here.

[CWSmith]

I'm reading and hearing on Sunday's talking heads that he doesn't have the other 4 votes he needs to change the birth control or gay marriage laws.

So, let's thank him. Perhaps this will just bring the liberals to the polls who too often stay away.

The Federalist Society called Hill a liar. And claims based on unsupported claims that so did Biden.

Biden treated Hill badly, has made a somewhat smarmy 'apology',and failed to put it all to rest.

Retire, pack up the money, pull up the tent and move to some civilized country. Most likely in the anglo-sphere because it's unlikely they speak any other language.

[bobbys]

Funny, how many times were there threads and comments about him not speaking and insinuating he was dumb, yet now he was a main motivator to bring big decisions.

Funny how you wont answer this

1 Did Mr Biden legitimately win the 2020 presidential election? If not, why not?
2. What do you think of the attempt to interfere by force with the electoral vote count on January 6, 2021? If you approve, explain.

And we are all paying for it now
Except BS, maybe Biden is his hero now?

And who'd have them? They'd likely not get into Aus or NZ on character grounds. How about Mexico?

[hawkeye54]

You have to wonder what the 'comversations' are like between Justice Thomas and Chief Justice Roberts, who thought he was 'running the show' - - - I am sure they are 'interesting' in their own way

[Garret]

Actually. it's a classic example of "Better to be silent & have people think you a fool than to open your mouth & prove it".

How anyone could support 2 such obviously nasty mean people amazes me. You seem like a guy who prefers to go through life happily & letting other people live their lives - so how does a person who feels that way support someone who is both nasty & intent on telling people what to do? Whatever happened to freedom? IS that only when it comes to guns?
