Clarence Thomas would vote to return blacks to a state of slavery.

[blueinindiana]

He is a national disgrace.

1. If Scalia said it it must be true.

[EFerrari]

But Roberts is amiable.

:puke:

[jpgray]

3. The charm campaign the media went on for Roberts was really disgusting

There was evidence aplenty to show what he was. It got bowled over by the image issues most coverage focused on.

2. As long as Clarence could work in the manse

4. And Rice couldn't be happier to destroy Affirmative Action

Even though she personally used it as HER stepping stone.
It is unforgivable.

5. he is the incompetent who is where he is because of his race

but he wants to deny qualified and able minority students the help they need to compete and get ahead in a world that still has prejudice against them.

7. Throwing up a little in my mouth after reading the subject line of your post.

Thank goodness you spoke up in defense of the "minority students" who earn your stamp of approval. MKJ

[EFerrari]

8. I disagree. He's where he is because he's a sellout. BushCo

is full of them and they come in all sizes, shapes and colors.

9. i agree, but they did want a token in this case

usually it's to make white voters feel better about voting Republican and allow themselves to think they aren't racist.

Clarence Thomas rarely gives his opinion and the times he does is when it's trying to justify these cases usually affecting mostly minorities.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

6. And what leads you to that conclusion?"Return blacks to a state of slavery" is an icky choice

of words.

Your post is high on the creepy-o-meter scale. MKJ

[JI7]

12. what's icky about it ?

have you read Thomas' position on these issues and his court opinions ?

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

16. There's a xenophobic tone that emanates which seems to embrace rather than abhor the idea.

And, I was hoping you could enlighten as to which ruling or opinion specifically would work to make citizens of one ethnicity rather than another, slaves. MKJ

[KingFlorez]

10. He's the type that would come up with a rationale for it

I don't put anything past radical conservatives

[rwheeler31]

11. True he is a sellout and he hates all including

himself.

[cgrindley]

13. As much as I can't stand him, that's still really offensive

he's an asshole, but I guarantee you he would NOT vote to return blacks to slavery,

[Yukari Yakumo]

14. Basis? nt

15. Thurgood Marshall told him "you're not fit to shine my shoes".

Justice Marshall was a man of great wisdom.

After today's decision reversing Brown v. Board, a case that Mr. Marshall argued for the plaintiffs as an attorney, he's undoubtedly red lining the marble tachometer.

[mediawatch]

17. he is just an AA who made it

why would he want to become a slave now. He is rich, well educated.. I beg to differ with your statement

[Jacobin]

18. Now that he has 'his', he doesn't care about the rest

Similar to Condileeza Rice, who, having obtained her position through affirmative action, is now against it.
