Wilkes, who said he has received ''hate-filled'' e-mails from around the country - including one signed ''Mohammed Stalin Hussein'' - ...Okay, anyone want to "fess up"?

''It's a lot of nonsense for people to raise objections to his speaking at the graduation,'' he said. ''I think his position is something that deserves respect, whether you agree with his personal views or not.''
If he wasn't seated at the Supreme Court, would they ever be aware of his personal views.

UGA law professor Jim Ponsoldt said he thinks the debate ''has gotten a little out of hand,'' even though he thinks Thomas should not be able to deliver the graduation speech. Another example of the TOLERANT left. Just don't disagree with them, or you're persona non grata. These people make me sick!!!!!!!

What is amazing is what is missing. If conservatives were trying to block Thomas from speaking, it would be a racial issue. What is interesting is that nobody has even mentioned the PC issue of students and faculty at a Georgia Law School attempting to bar a black speaker...

I Googled Eugene Wilkes, Georgia Law Professor, and found
this (emphases mine):
"Impius et crudelis judicandus est qui libertati non favet," the ancient legal maxim says. "He is to be judged impious and cruel who does not favor liberty." This maxim would be an appropriate personal motto for U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. A best selling book about him is entitled "Strange Justice." A New York Times editorial brands him the Court's "cruelest justice." He is one of the principal reasons the Court is leading this country through a counterrevolution in civil liberties, civil rights, and privacy protections, in which nearly anything the government does in the name of fighting crime or terrorism is deemed constitutionally acceptable.
Justice Thomas is also one of the five right-wing Republican justices who stole the presidency from Al Gore in 2000 in that egregious manifestation of political partisanship desguised as a court judgment, Bush v. Gore, the most outrageously partisan decision in Supremem Court history, a decision in which, as Vincent Bugliosi says, "the Court committed the unpardonable sin of being a knowing surrogate for the Republican party instead of being an impartial arbiter of the law."
Anyone who questions why the Supreme Court is no longer the guardian of liberty, rights, and justice, and has become the lapdog of big government and a cheerleader for the executive branch, need only examine the career of Justice Thomas to find the answer. The courts are failing us, freedoms are fading, because we have foolishly allowed compassionless creatures such as Clarence Thomas to become our judges. The enemies of liberty have been placed in charge of protecting liberty.

''It's been very stressful. It's been very stressful for the law school,'' said Wilkes. And who made it stressful? WILKES!

Clarence Thomas is a Justice of the United States Supreme Court. It is a great honor to attend one of his rare public appearances. Thomas is being hounded, as always, for being a wrong-thinking black man in the eyes of the left. A traitor. There is only one correct political place for people with dark skin -- on the Democratic plantation. Now Estrada is getting the Thomas treatment. These people should all be ashamed of themselves. (I know, I know, they are incapable of shame.) They are the lowest of the low.
