They don’t recognize Thomas as a historical figure. Did they really recognize Thurgood Marshall that much historically? I see Rosa Parks, King, Jackson and Cosby held in much higher esteem. If you asked most youth today to name the nine Justices could they?
He is a conservative, black, Supreme Court justice that was appointed by a Republican that sits on the highest court of the land. With that resume he is the considered the devil by all liberals. In terms of a lasting impact in the nation, I would argue that he has more power than Obama. And because of this, no one will recognize him. If he helps to end Obamacare and other legislation that impacts the Obama administration, he will help defeat Obama significantly.
We know that Obama personally dislikes Thomas. Obama has even said that he doesn’t think that Thomas is intelligent enough to serve on the court. (I’m paraphrasing here.) Which is a hysterical statement, because Obama is no constitutional heavy weight.
Thomas has more intelligence in his little finger than every pos obama ever born... collectively... and obama himself knows nothing of the Constitution... other than he hates it. obama probably has an IQ of around 90... and it shows.
