clarence thomas--in HOW MANY STATES would YOUR marriage have been illegal just

[niyad]

a few years ago?????? as I thought, and someone else agreed, you are of the "IGMFU" mindset (helpfully translated as "I got mine--f*** you!"

to have such an ignorant, grasping, greedy, bigoted jerk on the highest court in the land is an obscenity.

(oh, and clarence, we all know anita hill was telling the truth!)

[mythology]

1. To Thomas, somehow that's different

He really is a pathetic tiny little gnat of a man.

[niyad]

2. and I think that is insulting to the gnats!

[BlueJazz]

3. Anita Hill was telling the truth. She is a Woman. He is Trash.

[onehandle]

4. Teh gay is a choice.* Teh black not so much.

Of course he's paid to be white. I wonder if he would 'choose' to be teh gay if there was enough green in it.

Now my face is teh red.






*Gay isn't a choice, but hatred is.

[niyad]

5. a most interesting observation!

[Hekate]

6. That man is an embarrassment to the human race. People forget who he was appointed to replace, too

Justice Thurgood Marshall was a giant among men. Silent Clarence stands on Thurgood Marshall's shoulders and imagines he got where he is all by himself.

[niyad]

7. clarence always makes me think of a quote attributed to twain about reading certain obits

with a great deal of satisfaction.

[calimary]

17. clarence thomas is not fit to clean the dog shit off Thurgood Marshall's shoes after a walk in the

dog park. Not fit to touch the hem of Thurgood Marshall's garment. Utterly useless excuse for a human being. AND that crazy woman he's married to!

[ChosenUnWisely]

33. Thomas was picked by the GOP for a few reasons

He is intellectually lazy and does what he is told by his owners

He is black judge replacing a black judge, in the eyes of the RW it is an even trade

The #1 reason why they picked Thomas, it was a lame attempt to taint the legacy of Thurgood Marshall and all future black justices on the court. Basically Thomas fit the stereotype of the type of African American that is acceptable to the RW….compliant and silent.

Thurgood Marshall as a young lawyer changed America and the world with the Brown case. Thomas, well he did noting except sexually harass some women.

The RW has been pissed off about it ever since.

[msongs]

8. he is a big supporter of "states' rights" when it comes to gays that is. He forgets the history of

"states' rights" as they have been applied against other groups of humans

[niyad]

9. one wonders how he can be so forgetful.

[leftieNanner]

30. Humans - meh...

Clarence Thomas has no business holding that seat.

[CanonRay]

10. And in Marshall's seat no less

Damned auto correct won't let me type Thurgood

[niyad]

11. that is probably one of the biggest insults of all.

[sheshe2]

12. Boom!

That was just awesome niyad.

Brava~

[niyad]

13. you are most welcome. seems like an obvious response to his bigotry.

[Marie Marie]

14. This man is just an ass in a seat on the Supreme Court.

He is about as qualified to serve on SCOTUS as I am - and I have much more integrity than this fool.

[MarianJack]

15. Yes,...

...she WAS telling the truth!

PEACE!

[calimary]

16. GORGEOUS!!!!!

Of course, he's the first guy who wants to use the ladder to climb up to greater things, and then pull the ladder up behind him so nobody else has that kind of access or advantage. IGMFU.

[niyad]

18. this creature is a world-wide embarassment.

[MurrayDelph]

32. He pulls up the ladder

so that he can pretend there never was a ladder.

[one_voice]

19. If I remember correctly..

even thought the SCOTUS ruled in favor of interracial marriage the law making illegal remained in some of the southern states up till the '80's. I'd have to research but I'm almost positive. My parents (interracial marriage) wouldn't drive through the south to my dads family home in Alabama because they didn't know what would happen. It wasn't until like the 90's that my dad felt comfortable driving--mostly cuz of the small towns I think.

At almost 80 he's seen some shit and can tell some stories. My mom often talks about the riots in Wilmington Delaware--but that's a whole 'nother thread.

[George II]

20. I wouldn't be surprised if deep down inside of him, he really doesn't think he's "black"

[niyad]

21. some things just do not register with him.

[George II]

24. And that's why I love Barack Obama - EVERYTHING registers with him....

....even if he doesn't agree with it.

[nomorenomore08]

22. People of Thomas's political persuasion typically aren't known for their self-awareness. n/t

[niyad]

23. or thinking abilities

[nomorenomore08]

25. Probably not by chance that William F. Buckley's decline in influence, and then death, coincides

with the virtual brain-death of American conservatism.

[Thinkingabout]

26. K & R, good question, wonder if he thinks about the states which had laws against

Interracial marriages. Bottom line, allow those who care for each other to marry as long as it is age appropriate. It has bothered me for years the simple fact of excluding loved ones from being together because they are not "family". Too many times in the past family members through anger excluded partners from hospital rooms. Too sad.

[RKP5637]

27. He does a grave discredit to any sense of fair and equal Justice in the US. He definitely

does not belong on SCOTUS.

[Kablooie]

28. He's a classic Ayn Randian. "I get whatever I want and if you don't, that's your problem, not mine."

[Thespian2]

29. Completely true assessment

of Thomas. Of course, to understand your position, he would have to have Scalia explain it to him. I have yet to understand how this most unqualified, mindless right-wing nut job got his sorry ass sat in Thurgood Marshall's seat.

[JDPriestly]

31. K&R. People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, Justice Thomas.

50 years ago, many Americans in the South would have been angry about your marriage.

Loving v. Virginia, 388 U.S. 1 (1967),[1] was a landmark civil rights decision of the United States Supreme Court which invalidated laws prohibiting interracial marriage.

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

Recognize for same-sex couples the right you enjoy yourself: marriage with the person they love.
