Clarence Thomas is Whining: My Advice is Resign
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart
Justice Clarence Thomas is whining. He is complaining about criticism from the voting public related to his personal misdeeds, bias in favor of Donald Trump, and decisions which contradict the will of the people. He is also under attack with his five comrades who continue to vote against the intent of the Constitution.
On Friday, while attending a judicial conference, he was asked about working in a “meanspirited environment.”
"I think there's challenges to that. We're in a world and we — certainly my wife and I the last two or three years it's been — just the nastiness and the lies, it's just incredible," Thomas said.
"But you have some choices. You don't get to prevent people from doing horrible things or saying horrible things. But you have to understand and accept the fact that they can't change you unless you permit that," Thomas said.
I have a solution for the controversial justice: resign!
THOMAS SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN CONFIRMED
In 1991, Clarence Thomas was nominated for a seat on the United States Supreme Court by George W. Bush. His hearing in the Senate was contentious, and the result remains controversial.
He was accused of sexual misconduct by one of his clerks, Anita Hill. However, the “good, old, white boys” of the Senate attacked Ms. Hill’s veracity, and confirmed Thomas by a vote of 52-48.
A very similar situation occurred once again in 2018. Brett Kavanaugh was nominated by Donald Trump. Although he had previously been accused of 83 ethics violations, and charged with sexual assault during his college years by Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, he was confirmed in a partisan vote of 50-48. He has already proven himself to be unfit for the position he holds.
A SERIOUS MISTAKE BY OUR FOUNDING FATHERS
Over the last four years, with a stacked Court created by Moscow Mitch McConnell, and Trump, the facts prove that giving lifetime appointments to members of the Supreme Court was a huge mistake and could end the America of our Founding Fathers.
Beginning in 1981 both the Executive and Legislative branches of our government have proven to be corrupt and unworthy of the people’s trust. Sadly, in 2020 the last ray of hope that our government might be saved came to an end with the hasty and politically motivated confirmations of Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and one last woman, just before the 2020 election, Amy Coney Barrett. Those of us who write about politics learned that the only qualification possessed by the three incompetent justices was a promise to overturn Roe v Wade: a decision by a legitimate Court made 49 years in the past.
THOMAS CAN COMPLAIN, BUT LIKE HIS FUHRER, DONALD TRUMP, HE IS THE GUILTY ONE
Prior to the death of Justice Antonin Scalia, Thomas was known to vote according to the instructions given to him by the conservative extremist.
After Scalia’s death, Thomas became the most radical justice on the bench. His extremist interpretation of the Constitution has frequently been questioned by judicial scholars. Thomas is often been the primary dissenting voice on issues brought before the Court over the last 33 years.
