Clarence Thomas has had a long record of voting the right way, the conservative way, the constitutional way, in case after case. And most of his written decisions and dissents are marvels of clarity in reasoning.

There is a deliberate, co-ordinated attack of Justice Thomas going on right now in the media and the Soros funded puppetry.
They are attempting to create something, any kind of a controversy they hope will grow large enough to force a resignation before the Kenyan leaves office in Jan 2013.

We have to seriously consider the source of this story, the
New York Times. The
Times, representing the loony left, has always been bitterly opposed to Clarence Thomas as a Supreme Court Justice. A very sophisticated plan to derail his 1991 nomination to the high court - Anita Hill's basically unsubstantiated allegations of previous sexual harassment - almost succeeded, until Thomas pulled a Jujutsu move and accused the Senate Judiciary Committee of staging a
'high tech lynching'. Thomas was confirmed by a full senate vote of 52 - 48. The left has hated him ever since. Clarence Thomas was supposed to be run off by false allegations but he succeeded in turning the tables on the folks trying to send him away in disgrace. Almost 20 years have passed but the lefties don't forgive and they will
never forget. This kind of hit piece, attempting to portray Justice Thomas as a buffoon who shouldn't be on the Supreme Court is just their way of reminding us how much the left hates to lose.
That a conservative forum entertains a poster that sneers at Justice Clarence Thomas as an 'affirmative action hire' is troubling, consider the man's cogent, conservative, constitutionally-based judicial opinions handed down over the years. Clarence Thomas may not waste a lot of time engaging in oral arguments for show but he certainly is far from a 'token' on the high court. America is fortunate to have this good man as a Supreme Court Justice.

bingo. They are trying hard to invalidate his upcoming Obamacare vote— Wife’s income, conflict of interest re United Citizen, , etc. —
smells of desperation.
To: DemonDeac
I’ve seen enough of his writings on decisions - TOTAL BRILLIANCE. Just because he’s staying out of the Debating Society does not mean anything more than he’s staying out of the Debating Society.

“Do you really think that he would have got the job were he not black? Was he really one of the great legal minds? Of course not. The man votes well but he was nowhere near the most qualified person for the job and would not have got it were he not a negro.”
That doesn’t work here.
We’re not that easy to bait.
And we are NOT racists.

EXACTLY. They are SCARED TO DEATH that the Court will make some sane rulings for once and are trying everything they can to stop it.

I saw a place online a few days ago that made me furious and I wish I’d kept track of the url but it was a left wing petition to impeach Thomas.I wasn’t aware that you could do that so didn’ keep the link.

To: DemonDeac
He’s not an affirmative action “hire”. That’s absurd. That said, I do have a problem with him not speaking during arguments. And I do have a problem with his decision on the Monsanto seed-saving case. Otherwise, he’s fine, and has a solid Conservative record.

Let’s just work for getting 0bama out in 2013 and then a new POTUS can appoint Janice Rogers Brown, a true conservative and rational person to counter Sotomayer and Kagan.

NYT is attempting to "bork" a justice whose understanding of the Founders' Constitution stands in the way of those who wish to "change" its protections for liberty in order to accumulate power unto themselves.
The outright attacks on constitutional principle will meet a dedicated warrior in Justice Thomas, and the attackers attempts to minimize his effectiveness by planting such ideas as these are transparent and reveal their own paucity of understanding and meanness of spirit.
Read his opinions.
To: DemonDeac
He's probably fed up with state-run media telling lies about what he says.
If it is documented that he never says anything, they can't dare make something up and pretend he said it.

I agree with Thomas that the oral argument phase is largely show. If the judges are all thinking of what they’re going to say or ask next, they won’t be listening.
