[writersblock26]

Thank you for posting this, CSPAN.

[Melpheos1er]

Look at his corporate saleout

[luismiguel10486]

Impeach this dirty scoundrel, he is a sold out to big interest, always looking out for his republican brethren.

[reytrapaet]

Rather ordinary people are getting tired of the extremely conservati­ve bent of the court, the not protecting of individual rights and the constant rulings for big business over the individual­. If the court can not occasional­ly protect the poor and downtrodde­n, then what is the purpose? Corporatio­ns already can buy their own influence.”

[reytrapaet]

“Thomas is an embarrassm­ent to the court. He did not have the character to be appointed to begin with, as he sexually harassed Anita Hill. He sits there never asking a question rendering ideologica­l opinions. Why think at all when your opinions are solely based on ideologica­l. People grumbling about the court are not just all profession­als with a stake in the game.

[thechangeling613]

O beautiful for contrail skies

For abnormal waves of rain

For Iron Mountain treasuries

Above the bankrupt plain.

America America Lucifer's freemasonry

Pretends to be good with false brotherhoods

From sheep to slaughtered sheep.

[heartlessvietboy]

The problem is this. We're writing constitutions. Were conquering land. Were holding treatises. All while were shipping slaves to foreign land. All while were waging war. All while were colonizing peoples land. All while The Stock Exchange / Wall Street are ran by investment firms. All while were saying black people don't have rights because their black. All while were allowing Prostitution to spread nationwide under the Freedom of "Speech" Clause.

[naruto04210]

His voice is soothing.

[thechangeling613]

become fixtures of Fascism. Reopen the 911 Murders. Reopen the Gary Caradori murder. Reopen the Iran-Contra affair, and this time, make it a criminal trial. Appoint a real lawyer for Loughner. Now, everything I mentioned is peaceful and non-violent. All of the government agencies I mentioned use violence, blackmail, coercion and outright treason to develop their initiatives. That comparison would make the word anarchy a righteous notion.

[singray7]

Thomas, Elito and Roberts should all be arrested and tried for crimes against the american people. The supreme court, like the rest of our government, is corrput beyond repair... anarchy anyone?

[thechangeling613]

@singray7 You forgot the Magog of them all, Scalia. Uncle Tom Thomas hasn't axed a question in 10 years to witnesses in court proceedings because it has not pertained to fried chicken or I got a Thrill on Anita Hill. Yes sir, these hooded treasonous Oligarchy sluts want duel-citizens and secret societies to be the fuel in our Election processes. The ruling on Elections was the most hideous decision since Dred Scott, and of course they implemented faster than ANY OTHER ruling in 27 years.

[singray7]

@thechangeling613 ...... sounds right. If the offended rise up with violence, the plutocrats win, because they're more than willing to kill anyone that they feel threatened by. Persistant non-violent protests are the only way to win back our democracy. It's bye bye congress, supreme court, and president.

[thechangeling613]

@singray7 Besides close family relatives, the only Amercian hero I can think of is Martin Luther King, Jr. I am middle-aged, white probably more than a tad racist, but it is through peaceful, non-violence to affect that change. What this country needs is a Third Party whose platform is to eliminate the CIA, the DEA, and the Dept Of Homeland Terrorism. Constitutional Ammendments to allow the PEOPLE to vote for the Supreme Court, and they better drink their coffeee quick 'cause they ain't gonna...

[mrmanown]

That racist pig bitch that O-BAM-A appointed is a joke.

[kennysdead500]

@mrmanown What does O-BAM-A mean?

I know it's suppose to be Barack Obama, but what does O-BAM-A mean?

[charliebergy101239]

Mr. inJustice Thomas is, without doubt, the worst Supreme Court appointment ever!

He and four other inJustices: Scalie, Roberts, Alito, and Kennedy have turned the Supreme Court into ONE BIG DISGRACEFUL JOKE!

[Bigturns33]

It was a joke way before they where elected.  And activist supreme court is a rouge supreme court constitutionally.

[BullyThePucky]

Absolutely the best judge on the supreme court, hands down. Unlike most of them, he bases his rulings on the Constitution, rather than how he happens to feel that day, or random insanity (Breyer).

[toyprius]

Impeached the liar, he lied under oath. If obama did that the right would be screaming for impeachment.

[k3304]

black men love fucking white women, our white daughters will be de-flowered by black men and fucked uncontrollably until they scream with pleasure

[bonfirejovi]

Why do people hate this man? Is it because he does not administer "revenge" rulings under the guise of "fairness"?

[iluvsystemofadown]

Clarence Thomas, America's top judicial moron. I think the word "conservative" got into his head. Where did his strict constructionalist views find that corporations have 1st amendment rights in the Constitution?

[19cc88]

@iluvsystemofadown he also thinks that college students have no right to free speech, according to a footnote to his concurrence in the "Bong hits 4 jesus" case.

[abbesieyes]

When you wish to know why your country is suffering all manner of predation and hardship...

Presidential Cabinets after WWII - predominantly RCC

Both 'sides' of the aisle in DC - predominantly RCC

Supreme Court - 6-3 RCC.

So much for seperation of powers.

Inquisition and Counter Reformation, writ Global and ongoing.

[sklanger]

Scalia changed his vote to twice to join Thomas's opinions within weeks of the latter's arrival on the Court. The dynamic worked the other way round in reality. But liberals just love the racist black-man-follows-white-man/un­cle tom trope when a black Justice doesn't hold stereotypically liberal views. To them, authentic black people only think one way: otherwise they're an uncle tom, or intellectual dependent on a white person.

[hiiamrick]

@sklanger: I find it quite funny how some white people claim to know how black people should act, and feel. Yet those same people don't want the same labels placed on themselves.

[ieodksnw787]

@tjm8787, Raich was a complete political decision. "We can't have the S. Ct. condoning marijuana" type of BS. inconsistent w/ the stringent standards trend under Lopez and Morrison. i.e., "guns are good but pot is bad".

[ieodksnw787]

Wasn't very impressed w/ his concurrence in US v. Lopez though, strict originalism.

Wickard was a bad decision. I'm glad the Court has shifted away from broad commerce power (e.g., Lopez, Morrison).

[abbesieyes]

@tjm8787 Actually they do Tim. And actually, the count of RC's v. others on the court is 6-3. My mistake.

Servants of Rome may well use the facades 'liberal' and 'conservative'...but all of them knuckle under to the Pope when told to.

Thomas, being in the minority of the three...is a non-issues.

[ieodksnw787]

I have not, I'll certainly do so! Incidentally we are doing the commerce clause right now in my con law class.

[abbesieyes]

Interesting that no one states a far more telling statistic...that the unimpeachable swing vote on the Supreme Court is Roman Catholic. 5 RCC to 4 Other. So...when you wonder why your Constitutional protections have been under direct assault by this crowd ...you now have your answer. Not left v right...but tyranny v freedom.

Inquisition and Counter Reformation, writ Global.

[ieodksnw787]

I like Thomas and his views, but I think he should be more vocal and less meek.

[TheTruthNow000]

Clarence Thomas ... confused right wing shit bag.

[SOLISDEUS]

A classic example of a conservative diversity hire. This guy makes Sarah Palin sound like a genius.

[amsplg]

Clarence Thomas is a "Hero"!

[thibb2k8]

a true pinche Joto.

[cg257]

I believe Thomas is the least qualified justice and he has a lot of bad rep behind his name....There were way more qualified candidates at the time of his nomination...but he was the only black candidate that was fairly right winged at the time...I mean your replacing Justice Marshall here....(The first black justice)

[joejitsu26]

Justice Thomas is one of the Greatest Justices in the last 50 years. G-d Bless Him, at least Bush 1 got one good Supreme Court Nomination Right...

[jtkearns1]

It really is shocking how the left in this country has treated Justice Thomas. Make no mistake about it, either. He is hated because he is opposed to the decision reached in Roe v. Wade. The Democratic party has been hijacked by radical pro-abortionists who alienate the more sane among the electorate. It's sad, really. They used to stand for so much more.

[tyronebumblebee]

Alienate? Hardly. Remember the bloodbath of november 2008 or are you so deeply traumatized you have completely blocked it out of your mind? Thomas is a poster boy for the affirmative action he despises so much. Whist I might disagree with just about everything Scalia says I recognize him as a brilliant legal mind. Thomas is mediocre at best and was nominated to the supreme court for one reason only. He is a black man

[DillonX]

This guy isn't qualified to be a Justice of the Peace.

[f8izm9]

Wow. A Black man works hard, and earns a respected position in American Politics and you scumbag pieces of dirt degrade his accomplishments because??? Why,? is it cause he doesn't act "black", And blame others for his failure. Its amazing how brainwashed or just dumb some of people can be to think that it is ok to live like dirtbags.

[tyronebumblebee]

If thomas was white there is no way in a million years he would have been nominated. He opposes affirmative action but he himself is the ultimate affirmative action poster boy

[joejitsu26]

Its called progress that he now sits where he does, something that you seem to be opposed to if the "progressee" just happens to be someone who actually believe in the Constitution and the Founding Principles.

[tyronebumblebee]

It's called hypocrisy. Thomas has opposed affirmative action his whole career yet he is the ultimate poster boy for affirmative action. He himself has admitted that there were more qualified people at the time. He was chosen because he was black

[tyronebumblebee]

Thomas was not the most qualified man for the job, a fact he himself admitted. Thomas was appointed because he was black. Fact is Thomas has opposed affirmative action his whole life but he himself is the ultimate affirmative action poster boy. That would make him one big fat oversized hypocrite

[tyronebumblebee]

At the time Thomas was nominated, the Bush White House called him "the most qualified [candidate] at this time." As Thomas confessed in his memoir a few years ago, "Even I had my doubts about so extravagant a claim" After the departure of Thurgood Marshal the Bush administration wanted another black man with a conservative ideology. He was nominated because simply because he was black. How's that for the affirmative action justice Thomas despises so much

[joejohnson043]

just because he had humility, you want to use that as an example of his lack of qualifications? Point to a decision he made in error. If you want to talk about affirmative action just look at our Dear Leader! Talk about NO experience related to running the country, and yet getting it on a silver platter while paying absolutely NO political dues. Thomas' study, job and experience were all in line with this position. Maybe you are angry he didn't stay on the plantation?

[tyronebumblebee]

This has nothing to do with the application of affimative action. There are many highly qualified individuals who have achieved greatness because of affimative action. This is about HYPOCRISY. Thomas has made a career out of opposing affirmative action yet he himself is the ultimate poster boy for affimative action. Was he qualified? more so the harriet myers but that's about as much as can be said. Obama was not nominated based upon affirmative action he was elected because he inspired people.

[PoliticalJunkie2036]

Justice Thomas didn't make his career opposing affirmative action. That's historically inaccurate.

[tyronebumblebee]

Right, Thomas supported affirmative action when it benefited him personally, it's only when it is applied to others that  he so courageously opposes it

[keithlogan365]

When did Thomas benefit from affirmative action?

[tyronebumblebee]

His nomination to the supreme court. Thomas himself stated that there were many more qualified candidates. He was nominated because republicans felt obligated to replace justice marshal with another black man. Howz that for the ultimate affirmative action

[tyronebumblebee]

How do you think thomas got into Yale?

[keithlogan365]

Thomas got into Yale Law in 1971, which was before the law school had an affirmative action program.

[tyronebumblebee]

Thomas = Worst uncle tom ever

[joejitsu26]

Have you ever read any of Justice Thomas' work. How about an opinion? Can you even read???? Do you know that after getting into Yale Law through affirmative action and having a huge student loan to pay, Justice Thomas couldn't even get a job? What good is affirmative action if he couldn't get a job (and it wasn't out of his lack of qualifications either).

[keithlogan365]

If I'm not mistaken, Justice Thomas entered Holy Cross and Yale before their affirmative action programs were even imposed - then suffered from the fallout. He never benefited from affirmative action.

[tyronebumblebee]

Ah yes Thomas entered before affirmative action programs were affirmed. Thomas blamed Yale Law School -- specifically, its affirmative action program, which sought to give up to 10 percent of first-year spots to minorities -- for his difficulties securing a job as a first-year associate.

[tyronebumblebee]

Yale Law School launched its affirmative action program in 1969. As for Thomas' argument that Yale's affirmative action program made his law degree worthless? "Bullshit," says Daniel Johnson, Jr., a partner at the San Francisco office of Morgan, Lewis & Bockius and a 1973 graduate of the school. "I know [African-American law students at Yale] who got job offers all over the country."

[imaginativelads]

@joejohnson043 Clarence Thomas MUST be forceably removed with the other supreme court justices in order for our country to move forward. I want fascism, and anyone who apposes it , and their families to be sytematically exterminated. It is time to take our country back from the detatched and spoiled elements that comprise this outdated and bloated group of anti-American filth and excrement. If something were to happen to them I would welcome their deaths and applaud the persons responsible.

[joejohnson043]

@imaginativelads what are you talking about?

[lloydreggie]

@tyronebumblebee Aren't you a white conservative? How dare you support affirmative action? You fucking lunatic! Supporting black conservatives is the best way to get back at these liberal communists in this country, you should know that! You are a disgrace to the conservative movement.

[imaginepeace63]

Do a goggle search of this guy and Monsanto genetically modified foods. You will find some good information.

[coreyglove]

Clarence Thomas' Biography: Inspirational

Barak Obama's biography: Worthless

[tyronebumblebee]

Obama commands more respect throughout the world than this uncle thomas scalia hand puppet could ever dream of

[davis80smusic]

this is the simple truth, even though obviously the conservatives don't like to hear it

[evanrkg]

You misspelling the President's name: Failure

[tyronebumblebee]

Worst uncle tom ever

[beaver7216]

Interesting comment. 150 years ago a black man had a better chance of success if he kowtowed to the white master and was an "Uncle Tom" while today the situation is reversed. Thomas has had a much rougher time since he does not kowtow to the power. Maybe he should have just gone along with the majority.

[tyronebumblebee]

Republicans are always on the look out for the token black guy to recruit. Someone who will stand in the front row smiling and spouting the party line. Those willing to play this part have the easier time climbing the ladder. Look at that baffoon Michael Steele. With his clownish antics would he be RNC chairman if he was white. No fucking way

[JOchieng]

You're not fit to shine his shoes.

[tyronebumblebee]

The house negro put his tongue in the anus of his masters. A million showers cannot wash away the cheap dirty feeling he must have.

[JOchieng]

You should stop advertising your perversion preferences in inappropriate venues. There are places for that.

[tyronebumblebee]

If you think pointing out right wing hypocrisy is peverted one can only imagine what you would think of folks who pass anti-gay legislation during the work day and then go cruising for hot gay sex in public restrooms during their spare time - ala" wide stance" larry. The republican party has few uncle thomas's but plenty of closet fags. Would there be a republican part without em, methinks not. LOL

[tyronebumblebee]

JOchieng - just another brainwashed, useful idiot, right wing, teabagging muppet

[ccmaymd]

A great man.

[ALMARAUJO12]

Muito bom.
