Or maybe they said they were threatened because they were, and any further action on it would result in payback. Doug Hagmann says he has the handwritten notes from the meeting where the media head told the on-air personalities about the threats. And the behaviors that surround just that time fit the allegations.
The difference between Thomas’ comment now and in previous instances is that there had never been any cases before. Now there ARE cases. And Thomas’ statements that Serrano would do better to try to be a SCOTUS justice than to be a POTUS because a SCOTUS justice doesn’t have to be born in the USA pretty much tells us that Thomas isn’t afraid to duck the presidential eligibility issue. But yet he says they are evading it.
If that was the only odd thing I’d write it off, as you say. But there ARE other odd things, not only with the SCOTUS justices but with the other judges (and I did mention some of the ethics breaches, such as David Carter hiring a clerk from Perkins-Coie in the middle of a suit which was originally argued by Perkins-Coie, the ex parte meeting with Obama initiated by Chief Justice Roberts on the same day that they refused the Donofrio case, the Robertson ex parte claim that the issue had been decided on Twitter, etc).
I don’t have time to go over this again. You’re acting like I never said any of the stuff I’ve already said.
And so here we are, we disagree.
I think you have arrived at incorrect conclusions. You believe you have concluded correctly.
There’s no place to go from here, but what is important is that we are clear as to where we differ.
As the years pass and this issue continues to go nowhere, I remain hopeful that you will start to consider that perhaps, just perhaps, you have been mistaken.
So we shall see what the future brings.
