For Amazon, a recusal of Thomas in some court cases would be convenient.
“The job of a judge is to figure out what the law says, not what he wants it to say. There is a difference between the role of a judge and that of a policy maker... Judging requires a certain impartiality.”
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is reported to have made this comment in “’in the Wall Street Journal,’ Conversation with Dinesh D'Souza, July 2, 1991.”

Paoletta, “served as a lawyer in the Bush 41 White House Counsel’s Office and worked on the confirmation of Justice Clarence Thomas. He served as General Counsel of the White House Office of Management and Budget in the Trump administration, and worked on the confirmations of Justices [Neal] Gorsuch and [Brett] Kavanaugh.”
So when he speculates as to why Amazon would suppress Thomas’s documentary from its Amazon Prime platform, as he did in a recent Daily Caller opinion piece, he does so with a great deal of professional authority and insight.
Paoletta offers two possible motives behind Amazon’s action against “Created Equal.” Both make very good sense.
Firstly, he believes, “every factor points to the ideological cancellation of one of the most important voices in America – simply because he is a black conservative voice.” This might sound like a cynical and incredible explanation to assign to a corporate decision, after all, corporations, even Amazon, generally are driven primarily by profit motive.
But as Paoletta points out, “Created Equal, …has been a top selling DVD in Amazon’s documentary section” therefore, “Amazon’s decision to take this film down…despite intense consumer demand makes no sense from a market-based perspective.”

Racism is only a weapon the left uses when they need it. They have no real core beliefs except for their lust for power.
DUH! The left is ALWAYS 3 steps AHEAD!
Thomas didn’t produce a documentary.
He would not give a crap if Amazon shows it or not.

They pull his movie and use that insult to claim that he is too biased to judge fairly!
These bastards make the Robber Barons look like amateurs.
