Justice Thomas gets it: ‘How can we maintain a civil society’ without ‘honor’ among governing class?
The National Sentinel ^ | 9/13/18 | USA Features

Saving Our Institutions: Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has always been a man of brilliance and integrity, but something he told an audience recently really resonated with Americans who are growing weary of the Left’s destruction of our culture and society.

During a speech at a Federalist Society conference in Fort Worth, Texas, on Saturday, Thomas needled Democratic Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey over his “I am Spartacus” clown show during the Supreme Court confirmation hearings last week for Judge Brett Kavanaugh.

Not one of our elected or appointed honored the Constitution and they allowed the Kenyanesian Usurpation to happen.

That’s your answer.

Honor should not only be the possession of the ruling elite
but of every man. Then and only then can there be mutual
respect.

Sorry, as good as it maybe, I can’t seem to get past the notion of a “governing class” of society. Particularly from a sitting SCOTUS member.

IMHO I think they should always be referred to as “Our Elected” officials.

We all listened to the Rino’s and voted for Sarah Palin. Obama won anyway.

I had the honor of meeting Justice Thomas by chance at Cigar Afficianado event held at a DC hotel in 1994. Just walked right up to him and shook his hand and he was gracious enough to talk to me for 2-3 minutes about my hometown, cigars, and a few other small matters. His good humor and civility shined right through. Never forget it.

the founding fathers knew that it took an upright and just society , for them defined by Judeo/Christian ethics and morals, for the republic to work

The US has not managed to abolish the notion of a hierarchy, and that hierarchy does not only include elected officials.

There is a leadership stratum in every category, political, bureaucratic, commercial, educational, you name it.

This sort of thing is human nature.

“If you can’t debate hard issues honestly, with honor, with integrity, how do we keep a civil society?” Thomas asked.

Out of chaos a dictator will create order.

Dear Justice Thomas:

You can’t have a “civil society” when one side openly talks about murdering our President, openly talks about murdering Republicans, and basically wants a communist revolution.

Those days are gone.

I wrote a letter to Clarence Thomas a year or two after he was confirmed telling him I was with him during the confirmation hearings and that when my (then) 2 Y.o, daughter was in school and learning about Black History month that I would make sure she would know about his own humble beginnings.
He actually wrote me back the most gracious appreciative letter on Supreme Court stationary. I treasure it that letter to this day. God Bless Justice Thomas.

Very simple...we can’t. Most of the SOB’s can’t even spell the word “honor”or know what it means.

Partner, Justice Thomas is all class in my book.

It is the Rat party and the right arm of the Rat party which is our darling Fake News MSM.

We all find that these Rat folks are all "Great Big Pieces of Work!!!"

There is no class whatsoever in the so called Rat party leadership period!!!

Heck, the Rat and MSM shenanigans stink to "High Heaven!!!"
