Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas says the court 'may have become the most dangerous branch of government,' but it still works, and faulted the media for making justices seem like politicians.

A shoulder can provide comfort, but sometimes it's best to cry alone.

How dare you media! Making the SCOTUS political! stop reporting on their decisions, stop reporting the descenting opinions, stop reporting of confirmation hearings. Don't report that the last justice was appointed a lifetime seat after only 3 years of being a judge. Be better

Insulting the intelligence of voters? Gosh, now I totally believe him. 🙄

Yeah right. The most inept and bigoted justice on SC. He is a blackface who would sit idly and watch voting rights and democracy wither. His legacy is a puppet.

Thomas never talks. He is trying to get ahead of danger to he and his wife.

eternal life Jesus ; at judgement day the bullsh=t ends

60 million usa paid abortion clarence blames the media courts / churches / congress / white house have no intentions of stopping the slaughter

SCOTUS I watched the Clarence Thomas hearings as a young woman and believed he did everything he was accused of doing. It was a disgrace that there were no consequences for his actions - he was rewarded with a seat on SCOTUS. Painful

🤦🏼‍♀️

SCOTUS unjust decisions Citizens United Gutted the Voters Rights Act Supported the Trump organization while in office 2017-2020 Immigration rulings Rulings that teetered democracy SCOTUS is responsible for dismantling the thin democracy in 🇺🇸 led by Justice John Roberts

Says the black guy married to the white Evan!

They are. Stop pretending

The very reason he is sitting there is because of a POLITICIAN 🤷🏼‍♂️

Accelerationists!?

Methinks the Justice doth protest too much.

“If it walks like a duck, acts like a duck, quacks like a duck . . . .”

Has any justice in history politicized the Scotus more than Thomas? His wife Ginni has been a fierce and vocal advocate for Trump, frequently met with him to strategize and recommend appointments, helped transport 1/6 MAGA attendees to DC… Hypocrisy

Thank U Justice Thomas! Media is enemy and Trump had guts to say the truth! Left Wing lies! Russia Story divided this Country n made ignorant people hate Trump because they couldn't see through the lie. Schumer, Pelosi, Schiff made Supreme Court political cause Trump had 3 picks!

🤣🤣🤣🤣

It’s flawed because of justices like him who have no judicial doctrine and decide cases based on outcome, not to mention the two sexual predators sitting on the bench *cough cough*

I would have liked to see Thomas make that comment in the form of a rhetorical question, but he doesn't ask questions.

But they are. Look at the last three appointments to the court.

I have to go gag.

By 'working' he means 'only benefitting wealthy and powerful interests that want to undermine democracy'

Wut? “We’re dangerous, but it works.”?!

SCOTUS became a joke when 10 months b4 election day LeaderMcConnell refused to hear a nominee and then turned around and confirmed a nominee 2 months b4 election. gop GOPCorruptionOverCountry Hypocrisy Republicans AmyConeyBarrett MerrickGarland

Just reflect upon this for a little while. A 'JUSTICE' basically STATING that the court is dangerous. That seems to imply that they have a target. A specific agenda against a group or groups of citizens.

Then that makes Justice Thomas the most dangerous partisan hack in the most dangerous branch of government .

Who is Thomas trying to kid? They’re as political as any other branch of government, especially now with the three Trump appointees.

We still can’t separate church and state , or voting and equal rights for all Americans regardless of race and gender. What’s the point? Senate is broken too with disproportionate representation. Allow foreign and corporate influenced bias fake news.

'faulted the media for making justices seem like politicians.' . WeThePeople fault the SCOTUS for making themselves partisan for the GQP and not seem like justices.

Ask Thomas what his wife was doing advising Trump on who on his staff were loyal, helping arrange 1/6 “festivities”

It’s political when a drunken rapist and an unqualified idiot are appointed…for political reasons. Yes, the court has always been very dangerous for non-whites.

The legacy of 2016 election is we no longer have a SCOTUS and bald face lying has become the norm.

Thomas is a right wing partisan justice, his history on the SCOTUS Court proves it. Its recorded history. He can't deny or re write it no matter what lying statements he makes. He's a curse on the SCOTUS Court and American Society

Now, here he is, showing us gas lighting at its finest, folks!

Well, we know at least three Supreme Court Justices are delusional to some extent too!

This is Thurgood Marshall's sub. Sigh.

Wow, he can say that with a straight face after the ruling on the Texas anti abortion law.

The Judges in the commonwealth are politians and are protected by immunity. Things need to be addressed and changed. We are breaking families apart and conditioning/ raring criminals. Psychological impairments inflicted by authorities of the United States of America.

I'm sure he can refute that with his many decisions supporting women's right to choose

Why is this news?

He’s welcome to retire.

Every ruling he's ever made has been along his own partisan lines. He's never sided with liberals when it might hurt conservative politically. His wife supported and aided in the jan 6 insurrection. He and the partisan courts are a disgrace. There's no 'justice' in America.

Blame the messenger.

What do you think SCADdotedu ? Still like the name Clarence Thomas Center for Historic Preservation? I’m an alum and embarrassed for you. SCAD

He only defends the court when he's in the majority.

LOL Clarence, LOL.

Bullsh*t.

Then maybe he shouldn't act like a politician.

They have become politicians and congress helped to make this happen.

Is this an example of gaslighting?

Read the dissenting opinions

Perhaps he should reconsider his words and actions. Truth bites.

Of course this honorable man repeatedly sexually harassed AnitaHill and likely others.

And if the Supreme Court doesn't want to seem like politicians, guit acting like politicians. There is a separation of power for a reason.

What I was telling my conservative friend who was so happy about the Trump appointees… they’re not there for your party, quit celebrating.

No quarter for Republicans. They’ve had their beds made for them, they can leave the GOP. If they try to make you think there’s nothing odd going on, it’s just distraction. Make them out to be the worst version of themselves because that’s where they are headed. Like it or not.

Quit acting political...simple!

Silly me! I thought his wife might have colored how “neutral” they really are outside But inside? Damn if I didnt think the way McConnell stole an appointment was telling And their whole decision recently on abortion *could* explain why they are no longer seen as impartial

Don't blame the media when justices act like politicians, and attempt to place their own beliefs above the law. And don't blame the media for calling out inept, incompetent and unqualified justices who were appointed for political reasons.

Well that's concerning.

ResignThomas

Too easy…

Google his wife and see how political SHE is!

Who is the court actually working for? 🤔

Husband of far right radical activist Ginny Thomas, speaks out about politicization.

When they vote according to their personal political views instead of precedental rulings, and the letter of the law, they have indeed become politicians. Don't blame the media when you like to give speeches at political fundraising events and publicize your opinions.

At this point they’re just rubbing it in.

ACB spoke at a university venue literally named after the Senate Majority Leader who detonated all sense of norms and principle in order to pack the entire federal judiciary with right wing fundamentalists, and declared herself and her ideologue conspirators to be 'nonpartisan.'

Trumpism even infected the SCOTUS. Instead of owning their bs rulings, they want to blame the media. No time like the present to have a vote on term limits.

Please his wife…..
