Affirmative action hire.
Affirmative action hire.
Hardly!
This is just a continuation of the “send him back to the Field” or “hang him” agenda of the Lefties.
The only good pick from George H.W. Bush. How could you call it an affirmative action pick. I don’t think that is true. I think he was the best man for the job at the time.
Just because Thomas refuses to participate in the side-show that has become the oral arguments, you think he's somehow not qualified to sit on the bench?
Thomas, even more than Scalia, is the most reliably conservative justice on the Court - maybe ever. It's absolutely freakin' ridiculous to describe him as an "affirmative action" hire.
It's a NY Slimes hit piece. I'm sorry you're not smart enough to see it.
Oral argument = theater. The justices have already made up their minds and prepared draft written opinions by the time of oral argument. Thomas obviously has little interest for such a charade.
Best justice on the court.
“Affirmative action hire”?
Justice Thomas has more class than 90% of the dopes in DC.
As to the comment, I’m going to risk getting banned from FR by suggesting that whoever made the crack about AA, whether the NY Times or you, can kiss my a**.
Thurgood Marshall rarely asked questions from the bench during oral argument. IIRC correctly, he went something like ten years between questions.
Better to keep track of opinions written (incl dissents).
the guy is listening and thinking, so rare in DC they don’t know what to make of it.
Hey troll, Clarence Thomas may have been the only think GHWB did right.
And the insidious crime of affirmative action continues, where doubt is cast at the abilities and capabilities of a black man.
Nothing is more racist than such programs, as the dark question 'did this person get here because of their skin color' always hangs around. A liberal can never look at the accomplishments of a member of a minority without a smug smile of satisfaction that they're there solely because of affirmative action programs, not because of their abilities.
Oh really? Thomas is an 'Affirmative action hire'. We'll see about that semi noob.
~~sniff, sniff~~
Target at 10:00 O'Clock guys. Fire at will.
He doesn’t speak nonsense.
A huge plus.
If you want to complain about SC justices, how about the fools/leftist/perverts Kagan and Sotomayor? Why no word about them? Only criticizing Thomas?
That’s a cheap shot. Questions by Justices are mostly sallies and oneupsmanship against colleagues. This makes for a good show at oral argument but rarely helps resolve cases. And anyone who thinks Justice Thomas is a lightweight ought to read his opinions. They are clear, well-reasoned, and manifest a coherent originalist philosophy.
And if he had asked a lot of questions they still would have written an article, about an uppity you-know-what who doesn’t know his place.
Are you joking?
The communist Times vomits and you agree?
Justice Thomas is perhaps one of the most brilliant minds
on the Supreme court.
Perhaps you should read some of his opinions before making such a statement.

Affirmative action hire? Hardly. Not everyone is so thoroughly enamored with the sound of their own voice.
