In this Feb. 11, 2020, photo, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas delivers a keynote speech during a dedication of Georgia new Nathan Deal Judicial Center in Atlanta.Clarence Thomas is, by far, our most abused Supreme Court justice.
In the aftermath of the 2020 election, she sent hair-on-fire texts to then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows urging him to fight what she believed was a stolen election. This proves, we are told, that Clarence Thomas’ work on the Court is corrupt, and he either has to recuse himself from election- or Jan. 6-related cases or be impeached.
Critics of Thomas point out that he dissented when the Court turned away a meritless challenge by the state of Texas of election practices in other states. Yes, but the dissent reflected Thomas’ well-considered view that the Court shouldn’t summarily dismiss so-called original jurisdiction cases, and he was joined by Justice Samuel Alito, who shares his view.
As Nina Totenberg of NPR put it not too long ago, in a passage dripping with disapproval, “He is the only justice willing to allow states to establish an official religion; the only justice who believes teenagers have no free speech rights at all; the only justice who believes that it’s unconstitutional to require campaign funders to disclose their identity; he’s the only justice who voted to strike down a key provision of the Voting Rights Act; and the only justice to say that the court should...
This is when I wish I had an old style newspaper and a bird cage to line the bottom of.
In light of Thomas’ history and failure to recognize his conflict, or even appearance of conflict, justifying recusal, J Thomas has earned the wrath of his critics.
Rich Lowry is wrong.
The Trib needs to stop paying for this level of insight. Lowry is morally and intellectually bankrupt and couldn’t find objectivity in the dictionary.
He has a point about justice Thomas being abused. They all are but he more than the others, often mean spirited. But he his wrong on the recusal argument. Judicial ethics are clear on this point. His wife had a direct legal & financial interest in the outcome of cases he voted on
Stop running Rich Lowry drivel. God damn.
No. He isn't a good person or even a good justice.
Clarence Thomas is not better than anything or anyone. He is a do nothing Reagan conservative whose wife was in an attempted insurrection. Full stop, as they say.
Ratio
No. He really isn’t.
Bull
In the world of the 🍊🤡 and his partner in crime, I guess…No shame, no personal accountability, no honor!
Lol
But Rich Lowry is a bad faith columnist
Tell me you lack awareness and judgement without telling me you lack awareness and judgement.
This isn't the kind of BS I subscribe to the Trib for.
Imagine if a liberal judge was doing what him and his wife let happen…. Please.
Rich Lowry has shit for brains.
LOL, His voting record matches his wife’s extremism. He was the only dissenting vote in a decision that allowed investigators to get documents from the Trump White House.
Rich Lowry's job is to draw attention and sell advertising space. He just did it again. No one ever gave him a Pulitzer for either one.
Drivel
He’s not
Embarrassing y’all let this get published
Rich always seems to be on the wrong side of every issue.
