She said there was a tense moment when Thomas pushed Eisenstein to give another example where a misdemeanor conviction suspends a constitutional right.

I like the question! Perhaps, in the past, Justice Thomas simply deferred to Scalia, who would ask all the necessary questions for him. I hope he can write like Scalia too.

The answer, of course, is that constitutional rights should never be suspended over an accusation or over a misdemeanor. We need a patriotic president who will use a litmus test in appointing justices and will insist on an originalist track record so we don't get any more stealth liberal activists.

You should read some of Justice Thomas’ opinions. You might actually think that he is better than Scalia.

Bingo... Thomas is now the senior member of the Scalia wing of jurisprudence (with Alito being the other member). He will speak up more now out of necessity.

RE: I hope he can write like Scalia too.

He has proven that he can. Scalia even once said that Thomas would write something that he homself should have written.

People like Kagan should be impeached and in prison for Treason for they give their all to erase and undermine the very object which they swear to uphold.

The so-called domestic violence laws are a travesty of Justice that fail to stop real abusers and snares too many other people with permanent consequences.

Nobody should lose their rights if they aren’t a convicted felon.

My thought, exactly.

I hope he can write like Scalia too.

Have you read any of Thomas' opinions? They are among the most concise, lucid and convincing documents I've ever read.

With all due respect, what we REALLY NEED is a patriotic Senate membership who will honor their oath of office to uphold and defend the Constitution against ALL enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC, who will do their due diligence to verify that any SCOTUS nominee who is NOT an originalist will be VOTED DOWN and DENIED that office!!!

Thomas writes quite well. His style is different from Scalia, but his writing is clear and strong. Scalia made references to Thomas’ arguments changing his mind.
