#Alito and #ClarenceThomas want to keep the 1832 Comstock Act alive and vibrant, illustrating their continuing hostility to abortion and contraception. Whatever these two decide about standing in today’s case, that hostility remains untouched.
Per #CoreyRobin: Thomas ‘sees something of value in the social worlds of slavery and Jim Crow,’ not because he endorses bondage ‘but because he believes that under those regimes African Americans developed #virtues of #independence and habits of #responsibility, practices of self-control and #institutions of #patriarchal self-help, that enabled them to #survive and sometimes #flourish.’
I’m understanding how #ClarenceThomas developed his renegade streak.
The recurring statute of Harlan Crow and waving $$ at him is gonna be fun to watch, though.
You could put up a new corrupt white billionaire every month after the earlier ones get taken down.
Greg Bluestein:
#Georgia Republicans could be on the verge of erecting a statue of U.S. Supreme Court Justice #ClarenceThomas on the grounds of the state Capitol despite fierce opposition from Democrats
Remember how the Trump media #CNN#MSNBC#ABC#CBS#NBC like to tell America and especially black voters how Trump is getting black voters? Again! as we've been saying it's just another lie.(PROOF)👇
#SCOTUS justices & federal #judges can no longer avoid disclosing the value of travel-related #gifts they receive by classifying such free trips as "reimbursements" on their #FinancialDisclosure forms under new regulations now in effect.
The regs, announced by the #FederalJudiciary late on Fri, follow revelations that #conservative SCOTUS Justice #ClarenceThomas had not disclosed luxury trips paid for by a wealthy benefactor.
Eric Segall warns that with the current Supreme Court, there's a constitutional apocalypse on the horizon:
"Since Justice Kennedy retired and Justice Ginsburg passed away, the Roberts Court has been on a conservative rampage, overturning Roe, turning the Second Amendment into a super-charged destroyer of reasonable gun reform," (continued in /2)
"ending affirmative action, greatly strengthening the free exercise clause, ignoring and/or distorting the establishment clause, and trying to return to a libertarian, pre-New Deal understanding of the administrative state. In other words, the justices in a very short time have implemented a substantial part of the Federalist Society's most important policy agenda."
Crystal Clanton became notorious for sending outlandishly racist texts. Now she’s been hired to work for the Justice—and a dubious new story has surfaced to clear her name.
Holy sh*t. Watching Rep. Daniel Goldman on #LawrenceODonnell . He's calling for the impeachment of #ClarenceThomas if he doesn't recuse from the #Trump immunity case. Bravo.
#ClarenceThomas should recuse & resign. That's what I heard from Lisa Graves on the @NicoleSandler show last week. Lisa talked about how #GinniThomas was involved.
Supreme Court to weigh #Trump immunity, keeps D.C. trial on hold— Bloomberg #SCOTUS
“Supreme Court to decide Trump’s immunity claim in election interference case
“Even if the justices ultimately rule against Trump, the court’s intervention adds a further delay, meaning his trial will not start for weeks, if not months.
#ClarenceThomas's #RV and the open road call loudest to him in the #summer months. Does anyone know if it's okay for him (and Ginni) to phone this one in to #SCOTUS?
@GottaLaff The decline of American justice system...
Boy, the land of the free really fell into a tyrany while all the "liberals" cheer and clap.
I think Biden's dementia is more viral than Covid could ever be.
I think this may be one of Oliver's most important episodes, in that it could affect the most change. But don't focus only on the admittedly #blockbuster finale. The message is clear: #ClarenceThomas is a #crook and has no business being a #SCOTUS#justice!
