In case youre still in a tryptophan stupor, allow me to catch you up. Donald Trump is still president. Theres still a Congressman presiding over hearings about the presidents shady dealings with the Ukraine who appears to himself have had shady dealings with Ukraine. And now, weve got the longest-sitting Supreme Court justice launching a documentary which targets the Democratic presidential frontrunner. I say we just drop the ball on this sucker and end 2019 now.
The film, Created Equal: Clarence Thomas in His Own Words, was previewed by ABC News on Thursday evening and is set to hit theaters early next year. Judging from the advance clips, were in for two hours of Thomas lamenting about being victimized by a lying Anita Hill and the keep-the-black-man-down mob which believed her.
The film appears not just to be a general tale of Thomas woes. It has a specific villain: the senator who presided over Thomas contentious confirmation hearings. Yes, that would be Joe Biden. He just happens be running for president.

(115,587 posts)especially one that's critical of a presidential candidate? That seems highly improper. Unfortunately the code of judicial conduct for federal judges doesn't apply to the Supreme Court (because it's a constitutional office, I guess), but most of them have at least avoided obviously taking sides in an election.
And don't you find it ironic that he's griping about how Biden handled his nomination by favoring Anita Hill while some Dems have complained that Biden wasn't tough enough on Thomas and didn't deal with Hill fairly? And Thomas did get the job (while Hill was vilified), so what's he whining about now?

(4,149 posts)He NEVER should have been shoved onto the SCOTUS, but now that he is, he should learn to shut his fucking pie hole about fairy-tale, partisan shit. I guess what they say doesn't matter, as we already know what they DO. . . Just think of that drunk, frat-boy rapist, Kavenaugh. I am losing respect for the "rule" of law, as it doesn't seem to apply to them or theirs EVER.
