We are so fortunate to have Thomas on the USSC.
All of his words are pure gold. A magnificent mind.

[af_vet_1981]

A magnificent mind.

A heart that loves the LORD

Speaking at UT Austin?

I'm surprised they didn't protest his planned speech with a student walkout.

He might as well have been pissing on a house fire.

Speaking of Justice T, the Supreme Court will be releasing Opinions at 10 this morning. I have a SCOTUS thread all ready to go and will post it at about 9:45.

The voting rights act case is the only one undecided for the October sitting so we might get that one today.

Compare Justice Thomas to his colleague Justice Brown. Light years in IQ difference. In fact, ALL 3 democrat justices are morons, imbeciles, idiots, compared to ANY of the 6 Republican justices.

[Jamestown1630]

I fear for what may become of the Court when Thomas is gone. He is rock-solid and never bending.

By defending the past, Justice Thomas is the future

President Trump is clearing the path forward

[rktman]

Very much so. Absolutely gained more respect after reading his book. Sadly, there aren’t enough of him. Does he still do the motor home thing in the down time?

Roberts is a moron. Amy Hyphen is stupid.

[Sgt_Schultze]

Progressivism is the least accurately named political philosophy of all time. There is utterly no progress inherent in progressivism.
