Justice Thomas On The Court's Makeup: Supreme Court Week

An excerpt from Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas' interview for C-SPAN's Supreme Court Week is shown during Q&A, featuring Supreme Court Week executive producer Mark Farkas. In this excerpt, Justice Thomas describes the "heavily northeastern ... mentality" of the Supreme Court Justices. "Eight of the nine of us are from Ivy League schools. This Court doesnt represent all regions of the country." More on C-SPAN's Supreme Court Week here: http://supremecourt.c-span.org/

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?

@imaginativelads what are you talking about?

@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 It is time to take our country back from the detatched and spoiled elements that comprise this outdated and bloated group of anti-American filth and excrement.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.

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.

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.
