(Clarence) "Thomas Derangement Syndrome" was/is a precursor to "Bush Derangement Syndrome."

TOOBIN: Hillary Clinton...she’s no radical. She supports the death penalty. Not that you asked, but if Hillary Clinton’s president, I think she’ll appoint Barack Obama to the Supreme Court. [Rosen laughs.] It’s no joke, absolutely.

YEAH..you bet she supports the death penatly...particularly for anyone that might get in her way.

Chat-room in hell...

"Temperament, personality matter. It’s the fact that Thomas is so angry...the fact that he can’t get over this wound, this indignity, that he’s always been so angry, that makes him more radical than people who are essentially ofthe same ideology like Scalia or even Roberts. This is an example of someone undone by his temperament."

Hmmmmm...somehow this problem doesn't undo all of those perpetually outraged black politicians on the Left though, does it? ;)

[nickcarraway]

Does anyone actually believe Justice Scalia would call Justice Thomas “a nut,” let alone IN PUBLIC! Such an utterance by Scalia would do more to discredit himself. [by the way the two justices seem to be friends of some degree. Scalia’s son, who became a priest, helped Thomas decide to return to the Catholic Church.]

[Doctor Raoul]

Nobody thinks more highly of Toobin than Toobin.

He also predicted that if elected president, Hillary Clinton would nominate Barack Obama to the Supreme Court, a "political masterstroke" for Hillary since Obama would be an "unassailable nominee."

Besides Barack being an idiot and having no business to be on the court, he is not liberal enough for Clinton to nominate.

[Uri’el-2012]

At the end of the hour, a caller from Hillary’s adopted area of Westchester, New York worried strangely that Thomas had returned to a " a fundamentalist, Calvinistic form of Roman Catholicism." (Calvinism and Catholicism are rarely confused as synonymous.)

Unless you look at the writings of Augustine

Toobin is a legend in his own mind. He’s a CNN whore, so his opinion is automatically discredited.

[7thson]

Justice Thomas believes that much of the New Deal is unconstitutional.

These people are deranged. A lot of the Justices back in the 30 also thought much of the New Deal was unConstitutional. That's why they struck a lot of it down until FDR cowed them down when he tried to pack the court.

[Badeye]

‘Nobody thinks more highly of Toobin than Toobin.’

True.

[Pyro7480]

LOL! Then use the term “Augustinian” or “pro-Calvinist.”

[Pyro7480]

“Proto-Calvinist,” not “pro-Calvinist.”

[rockabyebaby]

TOOBIN: Hillary Clinton...she’s no radical. She supports the death penalty.

Anyone see Vince Foster, perhaps he'd like to give us first hand info............

[Williams]

Seems extremely odd that Toobin wouldn’t answer yes or no as to whether he had interviewed Thomas. He would know the answer, and not much point in trying to cover up the reality.

[Williams]

You can be certain that any Justice Hilary aoppoints will NOT support the death penalty.

[nikos1121]

What judicial experience praytell does obama have that would make him qualified to be on the supreme court...?

[xzins]

Thomas had returned to a " a fundamentalist, Calvinistic form of Roman Catholicism." (Calvinism and Catholicism are rarely confused as synonymous.)

A devotee of Augustine??

[Ditto]

"Hillary Clinton...she’s no radical. She supports the death penalty."

Just ask Vince Foster. ;~))
