    Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas faced criticism on Tuesday over comments he made during a case focused on the January 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol.

    “In oral argument today, Justice Thomas is minimizing the severity of the 1/6 insurrection at the Capitol. Perhaps that’s because his wife was part of the conspiracy. What a disgrace that he’s sitting on this case,” lawyer and former CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

  3. I had a more intelligent response to add but fuck the Federalist Society and all their ilk. Right wingers wan’t to talk about draining the swamp well there it is. Go after it.

  5. Faces backlash? Big whoop. This “judge” has been facing backlash for months now, and look where it’s gotten us. The fact he’s able to even great arguments related to January 6 given his situation and his wife’s capacity is an insult to justice. But sure, the “backlash” he keeps getting from online folk and the media will surely start to weigh on him now. It might crush him so much, he’ll reach out to his dear friend Harlan Crow and see if they can take a trip together to get away from it all. Judicial Branch = broken.

  7. The good, old, circular, nonsense argument that a law can’t be enforced unless it has been enforced before, meaning no law can ever be enforced.

  8. The dude is so well paid off, literally nothing more than a filthy greasy pig wallowing! You are no judge you are travesty Justice! Of course you will never ever care about that. Just know that you don’t serve justice, Don Thompson.

  10. Wait so is he back? I thought he was MIA this week.

  11. This could be a Mad Libs just about any week: *Clarence Thomas faces backlash for ______________*

  12. Love how he clearly doesn’t give a fuck about how his actions are tanking the reputation of the SC like Truth Social stock. “I got mine mothefuckas, y’all can’t do NOTHING to me!” while furiously flipping the bird at all and sundry. What a shitshow.

  13. He’s such a total disgrace that the chief justice hasn’t asked him to recuse or resign

  14. He does not give a crap. As long as he gets paid, nothing else matters.

  15. The instant they determine Trump is immune, Biden should organize a march on Mal-a-lardo and burn it to the ground.

  16. Let’s not sell Clarence short. He’s a disgrace in many ways in addition to Jan. 6 case comments.

  18. He’s a traitor married to another traitor who took on an active role in the failed coup de’tat of the US government on 1/6. He should be removed from the Court and his wife prosecuted. It’s truly disgusting.

  19. When he didn’t show up for work on Monday, I was hoping he had kicked the bucket. Too bad.

  20. >”There have been many violent protests that have interfered with proceedings,” Thomas said during the hearing. “Has the government applied this provision to other protests in the past?”

    What other “violent protests that have interfered with official proceedings” is he referring to exactly? I’d think he needs to cite a source, right?

  21. Article doesn’t say how much he was paid to say that.

  22. Corruption at all levels. And they don’t even try to hide it.
    Good thing for them. No one is willing to do anything about it..

  24. Backlash? BFD. Call me when he’s off the bench. Call me when he’s brought up on charges of sedition and/or treason. Call me when he’s brought up on charges of accepting bribes in exchange for rulings.

  25. He’s scum. We all know he’s scum. But no one writing any of these headlines have any realistic plans to do something about it. Articles like this have the real world impact of just pissing into the sea

  26. They are rigging punishment for themselves so they can get away with crimes. They always have their own interests in mind, tempting the country to Civil War.

  27. The wife of a Supreme Court justice helped to plan the attack on the Capitol building, and yet the justice has not recused himself from deliberations relating to that event. How can Chief Justice Roberts accept this appearance of impropriety?

  28. The Maga SCOTUS will rule in favor of Maga. We will have to live with the fascist traitor court until we can do something about it.

  29. Fuck off with backlashes, take on fucking streets, have balls like French.

  30. There is absolutely no reason to take the supreme court seriously. The entire branch is a disgrace. They’re even trying to make it so their “gifts” aren’t considered a bribe. Liken to giving an apple to a teacher. It’s just a joke now

  32. I think Thomas is a hatred-vampire.

    Everybody hates him, and that cheers him up, because he’s still relevant. He doesn’t care about those people, and in his mind it’s better to be hated than to retire and fade away.

    This is how old farts cheat death and decline and thumb their nose at the younger world. We’re still talking about him..
