The problem is, it’s not at all a joke. Or a punchline.
Was it a joke to John Jay? To George Washington? Hamilton, Madison?
It’s certainly not funny.
Justice Thomas was not speaking untruthfully.
They are evading the question.
Is that funny to you?
Was it a joke to John Jay? To George Washington? Hamilton, Madison?
Jay and Hamilton went on to elect Washington, Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe who all lacked two citizen parents. Hamilton had a French and a British parent who were married, but not to each other.
Justice Thomas was not speaking untruthfully.
Justice Thomas cracked a joke. The crowd laughed. Your attempt to make something of an obvious joke is as pathetic as "utterly frivolous" filing in court.
