  6. Wonder how much he was paid for that opinion?

    Maybe another Superyacht ride or a brand new RV or maybe a museum dedicated to himself?

  7. Didn’t Kavanaugh call Brown super precedent at one point? I guess nothing is really safe unless it’s super *duper* precedent.

  10. What?! This doesn’t make sense. This is insane.

  11. Some people pull the ladder up after they get to the top.

    Thomas set the ladder on fire and is throwing grenades over the edge.

  13. Every day, I feel that “Ben Affleck looking exhausted with a cigarette” image more and more. Just what the fuck.

  15. I met Thurgood Marshall (and the other members of his Court). He was a very large man as well as an obvious genius. He had a presence that made everybody just stand there in awe. 

    Marshall could’ve snapped Clarence Thomas like a toothpick, both intellectually and physically.

    Really shocking the difference between those justices who were intellectual giants and the current underwhelming crop.

  17. He should hand back his Yale degree then because it was almost certainly due to a combination of Brown V Board law changes and affirmative action that he even got in

  18. Can Rod Serling send this fool back to the past so he can see how his own life would’ve turned out without Brown v. Board?

    He is such a vile hypocrite.

  22. Clarence Thomas crosses the street when he sees another black guy.

  23. Clarence Thomas locks the car doors and puts the windows up when he’s driving through “that part of town.”

  24. Some people are morally bankrupt and then there is Clarence Thomas who laughs maniacally about “those amateurs.”

  25. The shame this man has for his race is truly pathetic.

  26. Interesting background: the Obergefell v. Hodges case that legalized same sex marriage relied on the Loving v. Virginia case, which had legalized interracial marriage.

    Mildred and Richard Loving were a mixed race black and white couple who lived in Virginia. They’d been criminally convicted for being a mixed race black and white couple living in Virginia.

    Clarence Thomas is also in a mixed race black and white marriage. His residence is just outside Washington DC in…guess which state?

    Justice Thomas was in the minority opposing the Obergefell ruling, and he completely avoided the Loving v. Virginia precedent in his dissenting opinion.

    (edited to fix a typo)

  27. That’s it! Any quote by this man shall henceforth, and shall forever be, read in the voice of Uncle Ruckus.

  28. So…educated man whose success in life was wholly dependent on getting a quality education wants to overturn ruling that allowed him to get a quality education.

    They should change the name of the movie to *The Idiocracy Prophecy*.

  29. He should lead by example and leave SCOTUS for a different, but assuredly equal court, since he’s such a huge fan of that sort of thing.

  30. Clarence Thomas would rather see black people go back into the Jim Crow era than rule in a way that might help

  31. Clarence Thomas is an Oreo.
    Black on the outside and creamy white inside.

  32. SNL needs uncle rukus to appear anytime they bring Thomas up

  33. Translation:

    I enjoyed 100% of affirmatve action, and DEI policies when I was young, and benefited personally from socialism & everything the Civil rights movement gave us

    But now I have billionaire sugar daddies, a few million in the bank, and a cushy job, so eff all of you

  34. Clarence Thomas seems like a man who is ashamed of the color of his skin and takes it out on those who share his color.

  36. The real divide in the world is between the rich and powerful vs everyone else. 

    Clarence Thomas show it to us everyday. 

  38. Can we please get rid of lifetime appointments and set term limits.

  40. What a disgusting hypocrite (and a traitor too). He wouldn’t even be on the Court if racial segregation were still present in the US. One of the most morally and intellectually bankrupt SCOTUS justices I have ever seen.

  41. this position is the most bewildering one of Clarence’s catalog of bewildering viewpoints.

  42. Doesn’t this dumbass know he wouldn’t be on the Supreme Court if not for Brown V Board of Education? What a fucking idiot.

  43. Clarence Thomas is openly white. He just happens to be black.

  44. See what happens when a bunch of third party cry babies refuse to choose btw the “lesser of two evils?”

  46. How nice of him to reminds us that in addition to all the bribe taking, he’s also just a plain terrible person. A truly awful piece of shit.
