When they examine his BC, if they find it is not valid, Thomas will be screwed for the rest of his life. He will be seen as a traitor to his race.
You may be right. But look at the flip side ... Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has the unique opportunity, a once in a lifetime chance, to proudly and publicly place the good of the nation and the will of the nation's Found Fathers before his race. That's incredible. It is a stark contrast to those still hiding behind their race with claims of discrimination and demands for reparations. The minority communities still speak in terms of achieving equality. Thomas isn't "achieving" equality; he is equal. And he's fulfilling the rights and responsibilities inherent citizenship as an equal would. He's a role model for all races. A difficult road it may be, but I'd happily take his place for that honor.
And, as you say, "thank God for true patriots". May Thomas be richly blessed for his courage and commitment to this nation. Amen.

I, also, find it ironic that he is the only black Justice as well as the only one that Obama has made negative comments about. Not to mention the stark contrast in ideologies of these two individuals. One is upright and just in the face of adversity in life. The other is a pretender, a puppet to the individuals who “own” him. Thomas a man of deep moral conviction. Obama seems to change with every light breeze that blows.
It is so interesting that after all that has gone on in the lives of these two men, that Obama finds himself at the mercy of a man whom he does not seem to agree with or respect. I feel our future as well as the future of this nation hangs in the balance of this one decision. Could it be that what happened to Thomas years ago before he was sworn in was a preparing for this very moment?!! I hope and pray this is God’s way of sparing us from 4 yrs of trial and tribulation. God bless this man and be with him in this difficult season. A-men.

Thomas isn't "achieving" equality; he is equal. Not just equal; he has earned a certain well-deserved superiority.
