As usual, the voice of reason on SCOTUS.

“We should not now abdicate our responsibility to clean up our mess,” he said.

Welcome to the 21st century. So far, that sort of behavior is about the only sort of behavior I have seen.

It is my understanding? that it takes 4 Justices to agree to hear a case?

If so, and obviously Thomas was one who voted in the affirmative, what happened to the other 3 so-called "Conservatives" on the bench?

Metaphysical refinements and tests of logical skill that can make Anything mean everything or nothing at will...’Thomas Jefferson spoke of such when writing to his friend Justice Wm. Johnson June 1823 In 1858 The Third edition of Justice Joseph Story ‘s Commentaries On the Constitution of the United States in the preface p.viii Justice Story said metaphysical refinements and tests of logical skill were “out of place” in understanding the Constitution. IMO the “endorsement test”
which seems the “test of logical skill favored by the Courts
and by the Enemy —in the Case that destroyed the Camp Smith
(Island of Oahu Memorial Cross to Marines who had given ALL in the Republic Of Vietnam erected in 1966 -destroyed by Court order 1988 -Schofeild Barracks Cross destroyed by court order in 1998. the Mojave Cross the supreme Court had said could remain -but it got stolen as soon as the Court remanded the case back to the lower Court. I suspect it is the argument behind the demand the Mt.Soledad Cross likewise be destroyed. And the case in Montana -should it end up in Court -that Memorial erected by former members of the 10th Mountain Div. (WWII ) on Big Mountain in Montana
reflecting Memorials seen in Italy during the War.Maintained by the Knights of Columbus .
Had the supreme Court defended the First Amendment the terms used as they were understood when adopted — None of this CRAP would have happened. I agree with Clarence Thomas.

Just imagine if America had been denied this great intellect because of fraudulent, uncorroborated sexual harassment charges.

The principal function of any court is NOT TO RESOLVE LEGAL ISSUES, but to create work for the pimps of the legal industry!
