Ted Lieu shines light on Clarence Thomas' gaslighting.

Dear Justice Clarence Thomas: Stop gaslighting the American people. You just voted to allow an extreme Texas anti-abortion, anti-freedom law to go into effect even though it violates the law of the land, Roe v. Wade. And you did it by hiding behind your cowardly shadow docket.

2. A remarkably corrupt Supreme Court "Justice"

Clarence is all worried now about the Court losing some of its unearned luster? How about a Justice who never recuses himself and routinely rules on matters directly affecting his wife? Oh, he's closely examined the situation and can assure the American people that he can be impartial. But oddly enough, Wife Ginni's business always is looked upon favorably by Justice Thomas.

3. Thomas should retire to show his sincerity. nt

[StClone]

4. Thomas is dead weight on the scales of justice

He has never been for justice, only for conservative extremism with rulings dismantling protections for humanity. He is in it for the causes of corporatists and elites.

5. Is he even qualified to be a justice?

[turbinetree]

6. Nope...along with 5 others from the Federalist Society...

[NurseJackie]

8. I guess his philosophy is...

... "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt." (When it comes to how disengaged he is when cases come before the court, in any case.)

[turbinetree]

9. Yeah you nailed it....and then when they do speak they attack the rule of law and the democracy

25. He always had his head up Scalia's ass.

Honestly, if Scalia had ever tripped over his own shoe laces, Thomas would have died of a broken neck.
He always did whatever Scalia did, and when Scalia died he looked like a lost little puppy.

7. K&R Thanks for posting.

10. A five-sided character like Mr. Thomas belongs on an island somewhere the tide is rising

and there are no more boats. He has a face for every audience but none of them are true.

11. He and #AuntLydiaConeyBarrett are surprised to learn that establishing Gilead in the US

is not popular.

12. A Supreme Court Justice who should never have been confirmed.

Replacing the late, great Thurgood Marshall with this subpar sexual harasser was a travesty. George H.W. Bush should have withdrawn his nomination as soon as it became clear what kind of a sleazebag he was.

24. Thomas was of known 'reliable' far rw character from the beginning, at Yale law.

This is thomas' spinning wiki version:

According to Thomas, the law firms also "asked pointed questions, unsubtly suggesting that they doubted I was as smart as my grades indicated."[23] In his 2007 memoir, Thomas wrote, "I peeled a fifteen-cent sticker off a package of cigars and stuck it on the frame of my law degree to remind myself of the mistake I'd made by going to Yale. I never did change my mind about its value."[24]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clarence_Thomas

Actually, it seemed that the law recruiters smelled 'something'. Thomas, despite the Yale degree, went off to a Missouri [Sen. Danforth?, appointment]. A fast track went all the the through a Court of Appeals, and Scotus. The Yale law degree merely flashed as the rw powers of interest proprelled him forward.

[Disclosure. Clarence came to my law office before this judicial appointments, seeking government subsidies. Brief meeting. Admittedly I was warned as to his character. My impression, was a short, serious weight lifting individual, brimming to the core with a deep, deep, anger].

13. Thomas was Ronald Reagan's Larry Elder. Ginni financed and transported insurrectionists to DC.

14. WTF ?

everybody forget wifey bought tickets for people to the big show at the capitol ?

[pansypoo53219]

15. us partisan? pshaw.

[a kennedy]

16. Why do we love you Ted Lieu??? You always speak truth. ❤️

[bucolic_frolic]

17. TAKE NOTE: Both Thomas and Coney Barrett told us they are not partisan this week

So it's a concerted effort at conservative disinformation?

[FormerDittoHead]

18. At least he didn't retire during Trump's last week in office...

I remember hearing some talk about his retirement in 2020 so they could replace him with someone much younger.

Dodged THAT bullet...

[dchill]

19. Dipping into the burgeoning river of projection...

Ladies and gentlemen, Clarence Thomas.

[Mr. Evil]

20. It's kinda funny...

that in the last 2 weeks or so he's actually spoken more than he has in the last 30 years. It tells me that he's in CYA mode.

[BidenRocks]

21. Have a Coke and a smile

you POS!

[calimary]

23. Another poster child for SCOTUS justice term limits.

[marble falls]

26. If you want to get thru to Justice Thomas, make an appointment with Ms Thomas first.

[Evolve Dammit]

27. Excellent Congressman Lieu. Clarence and Ginny are poster children "tea party" seditionists.

[flying_wahini]

28. The SCOTUS is worried Biden will Rebalance the court. NOW, only After pulling this stunt.

They should be. IMO.

[RANDYWILDMAN]

29. Clarence and Ginny can rot in hell

his actions are his tell, his words are smoke.

He thinks he fooled everybody by not ever saying anything. He is partisan as fuck and always has been.
He treats womens like shit, Anita was telling the truth, everybody knew and voted for him anyways.

Ted Lieu is national hero

Clarence is a national disgrace and right now so is the supreme court.
