Clarence Thomas calls on court to undo rulings on same-sex relationships and contraception: 'We have a duty to correct the error'
Justice Clarence Thomas on Friday confirmed some of the darkest warnings about the U.S. Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade.
The conservative-dominated court overturned the landmark decision that enshrined a woman's right to an abortion and said individual states can permit or restrict the procedure themselves.
"The Constitution does not confer a right to abortion; Roe and Casey are overruled; and the authority to regulate abortion is returned to the people and their elected representatives," the court said.
The right-wing court had been expected to overturn the ruling after a draft circulated showing that Justice Samuel Alito had written a decision striking down Roe in the case Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, and many warned the court would next target other agreed-upon rights.

Note: Hey Clarence how about the ruling many years ago that allowed inter racial marriage, or the one that allowed blacks the right to vote.

(1,962 posts)He loves hurting people - from Anita Hill as an individual, to many vulnerable groups. It's obvious this asshole's goal in making it to the ECOTUS was to inflict pain and misery, and tear apart freedom and rights. No doubt he is loving being on an extreme, right-wing activist court, and knowing they can cause more damage. Yesterday was just the beginning.
You know what error needs to be corrected? You being on the Court. Confirming you was a mistake then. It's become a bigger mistake with each passing day of your heartless, evil ass holding one of those 9 seats.
Even terrorists don't hate America the way this creep does.
