“Thomas, the longest-serving justice on the bench and arguably the most conservative of the nine, has become more influential over the years, to the point that some commentators have declared him more powerful than Roberts.
Not this year, so very unlike 2022, when Thomas and other conservatives pushed through the Dobbs ruling and Roberts stood alone between embittered factions. The chief justice chided his colleagues on both sides for displaying “a relentless freedom from doubt on the legal issue.”
This year, he stepped to the right, and he displayed no doubt.”
He creeped me out 32 years ago. When he manipulated the white Democratic males in Congress by saying, "This is a high tech LYNCHING!!!" -- they all put their tails between their legs (and yes, Joe, you were the head of this Committee) and immediately voted the stinker in. By then, who gave a damn what Anita Hill had to say? And why listen to her witnesses, or to the other women whom he had sexually harassed and/or assaulted?
Indeed. Anita Hill was an uppity black woman. Why would all those white guys give her any respect. The things she said about Thomas were shocking to me.
It was awful. I was shocked, too. He was (and surely is still) DISGUSTING. Sheer misogyny, and racism before they only approved clearance so no one would think that THEY were "racists".
Well, that’s disappointing.

I rep when Thomas was appointed. There was lots of talk about him being not very bright.
We were wrong.
("We" who?)
Those of us who engaged in the "lots of talk."
Evil, brilliant, and I think, lazy.

"In past decades, when the justices took up major tests of presidential power, they achieved unanimity." Roberts didn't even both with trying.
Impeachment is a waste of time and money without 66 votes in the Senate. I wish I was wrong.
Vote Blue.
