Toobin?

Isn’t that where you ride an inner tube down a slow moving creek? Tubin or Toobin.
Both are all wet and full of hole(s).

Calvinistic form of Roman Catholicism?

Is that like an ‘oily form of vinegar’?

2 things so far apart they can never be mixed.

Justice Thomas believes that much of the New Deal is unconstitutional

What a coincidence, so do I!

As for B Hussein Obama on the Supreme Court - thanks, I needed a laugh today.

About as much as the executive experience that qualifies HillaTon for president.

I can’t think of a single real bit of work in Obama’s career that would get him into the supreme court. This was the most bogus statement...hinting that Hillary would appoint him. Obama would never get any support in the senate.

the slimy bitch supports the death penalty without trial or appeal for her enemies-obama would be a horrendous choice-is he an attorney?i really never checked-he opposes private ownership of firearms and he is a hard left radical -why does everyone pussyfoot around the fact that he was a community organizer-show me one that isn’t a saul alinsky clone

Does anyone actually believe Justice Scalia would call Justice Thomas “a nut,"

He DIDN'T. Read the exchange. Scalia didn't even MENTION Thomas. This is something these propaganda phonies are simply making up out of whole cloth!

If you want to see "nuts" on the Supreme Court, look at Ruth Bader Ginsburg! Or William O. Douglas. Or Earl Warren. Or Hugo Black. All either bonkers or such extremists they'd be dangerous as a Traffic Magistrate.

I was at a synagogue where Justice Scalia was giving a speech not too long ago and someone asked him to compare your judicial philosophy and Justice Thomas’s, and he talked for a while, and he said, ‘well, look, I’m a textualist. I’m an originalist, but I’m not a nut.’ And I think that sums up a little bit the difference between the two. Justice Thomas believes that much of the New Deal is unconstitutional. Justice Scalia doesn’t.

I call BS. There's lots I don't like about Scalia but he has to know that all of the New Deal programs except Social Security were eventually declareded unconstitutional by the Court itself.

Segments of the Episcopal Church were Calvinistic. Thomas goes to one of the churches pulling out of the ECUSA.

Actually, not odd at all. It sounds like Thomas wouldn’t give Toobin the time of day. But Toobin can’t just say he wasn’t INTERESTED in talking to Thomas, because that would sound like he was biased.

And he certainly can’t say he TRIED to talk to Thomas and failed, because then it would question is influence and ability to do the job.

So instead, he passes it off, and puts it to Thomas to explain why they didn’t talk. When Thomas says there was no talk, it won’t rub off so much on Toobin.

I’ve never heard of any type of Catholicism being called Calvinistic. And the caller surely wouldn’t know Christian theological distinctions from a hole in the ground.

They are saying basically Clarence Thomas is a real “strict” Catholic Christian, and not a modern-rainbow-sash Church attendee or pseudo-Christian of Hillary-type.

Yes, I can see how that real grounded faith would be scary to Hillary boot-lickers.

So he’s an anglican.

That’s not exactly Roman Catholic, is it?

How you been?

“So he’s an anglican. That’s not exactly Roman Catholic, is it?”

He is “high church”, it’s close. He attended Holy Cross College with one of my ex-law partners who is now a state court judge. They were on the track team together while at college. Although he was a rabid Democrat, he had nothing but high praise for Thomas as a person, a student and an athlete.

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

As did most of the justices at the time till Roosevelt tried to pull a Chavez and stack the court...
