feel shame, making him totally unsuitable for the SC in a democracy. But since we are not a democracy anymore, he appears to be very suited for the position he is in. Anthony Weiner nearly brought him down, so they went after HIM and our brave leaders joined the effort to silence Weiner. Since then Thomas has been able to relax. We puritans care more about a Congressman engaging in cyber sex than we do about a SC judge who should have been impeached for not recusing himself from cases where he personally benefited. But that's the way it is in this great Empire.

People need to get over the notion that just because someone is of a particular ethnicity, including one that has been brutally oppressed, that they automatically must be people of moral character. This is not the case, Thomas is just another example of human depravity, they exist in all cultures and all ethnicities. They will accept the benefits of the sacrifices of others, but consider themselves above it all.
