Clarence And Virginia Thomas Have An Impressively Corrupt Activist Judge Scheme Going

[meaner gene]

You are a racist.

The irony, when Clarence Thomas was only picked for the court because of his race.

Like Obama?

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and his wife, far-right activist Virginia “Ginni” Thomas, have quite the scheme going. She takes in dark money contributions to her Tea Party-connected nonprofit, Liberty Central, and organizes Republicans on exactly the kind of issues that often reach the Supreme Court. He sits on the Supreme Court and never recuses himself as justices are called on by federal law to do in certain situations, including ones where their spouses have financial interests.

And this is going on while Justice Stephen Breyer is solemnly warning that expanding the Supreme Court might be a problem because “Structural alteration motivated by the perception of political influence can only feed” the perception that the court is guided by politics, “further eroding that trust.” As if that ship had not long since sailed.

This current court is corrupt beyond all recognition. The Republicans in Congress have destroyed any precept that the court is independent, unbiased, or in any way represents the people or the very laws by which they are tasked to interpret. The Democrats have an absolute mandate to repair the damage done to the federal judiciary by a minority that has appointed it in a mistaken and corrupt sense of entitlement, the majority of the country disagrees with, and the Constitution does not recognize.

He isn't required to recuse himself because his wife is involved in politics. That would mean he could never participate in any ruling whatsoever.

Yes, no qualifications for Thomas to sit on the high court. Only his race. Just as easily we could have put Dr Dre on the court.

Why do you object to that? Isn't that why Sotomeyor, Ginsburg and Kagen were picked?

That 'article' makes a whole lot of claims and uses them to justify openly advocating for corruption but provides not a single specific fact.....

Did you even read it?

Virginia Thomas earned over $680,000 from conservative think tank the Heritage Foundation over five years, but the justice did not include it on financial disclosure forms, consistently checking no spousal income. Once the news came out, Thomas amended 13 years’ worth of disclosure reports to include details of his wife's income, Politico reports. He wrote it was a “misunderstanding of the filing instructions.

Clarence Thomas claims that as a justice of the US Supreme court, he wasn't able to correctly interpret federal forms. That he didn't know the meaning of "income" as used on the financial disclosure form.

That's a WOW moment.

He's an affirmative action judge that has an efficiency rating of 39% but he does tell a lot of jokes about porn stars...

Get the black guy off the court. He is an uppity black man being high tech lynched.

A Latinx, a lesbian, and a Jew.

Seems like intersectional politics to me.

What does the term "efficiency" mean? Why do you object to Affirmative Action for judges but not for anyone else?

Like Obama?

Actually the country didn't vote for Obama, they voted for Biden in 2008. How else can you explain that when Biden ran in 2020, he got more votes than anybody in history, including when he ran with Obama dragging him down.

I have no problem for any affirmative action I know you Trumpettes dood.

Anyone critical of Thomas is a racist. Those are the rules.

You know that Thomas was picked for the court because of his race.

O was correct about Clarence - Intellectual capacity lacking.

"I don't think that he was a strong enough jurist or legal thinker at the time for that elevation"

 

[meaner gene]

He isn't required to recuse himself because his wife is involved in politics. That would mean he could never participate in any ruling whatsoever.

The rule is to recuse from cases that they, or an immediate family member is involved in the case.

And cases from Liberty Central have come before the court.

Ginsberg picked for being female. Kagen for being lesbian. Sotomayor is Latina. It's not latina anymore. It's latinx.

 

[meaner gene]

Yes, no qualifications for Thomas to sit on the high court. Only his race. Just as easily we could have put Dr Dre on the court.

Republicans are famous for nominating, and getting unqualified judges onto federal courts.
Even senator John Kennedy (Louisiana) famously ridiculed one of Trumps unqualified picks.

Fraud.

 

[meaner gene]

Look at their confirmation votes. They were judged to be qualified for the highest court by a majority of republicans.

To be clear, Thomas is on the Supreme Court because of his ethnicity, but no liberal judges are on because of their ethnicity?

Now does that make sense?
