So Clarence Thomas has told us what else needs to go:

[Cyrano]

Same sex marriage, same sex intimacy, and contraception are on his list. (Evidently, the horrible American past he wants to return to leaves out laws that prevented intermarriage between races.)

Thomas, and five of his colleagues, with their gun and abortion rulings, have fucked America beyond belief. And to think that they are members of a court where Mitch McConnell stole two seats, makes it even worse.

Republicans who are rejoicing at the actions of this SCOTUS really don't understand that some rulings to come may be things that fuck them? How about if voting required passing a spelling test? How about if an oath of loyalty to the current ruling government became a law? How about if everyone were required to show ID papers wherever they went? How about if every right that everyone has taken for granted, becomes mere "rules" that those in power can ignore if they feel like it? Hmmm, seems we've seen what societies like that look like.

Supreme Court Justice Thomas, I really don't grasp your beliefs, your world view, or your rulings. But I do understand that you, and all who believe as you, are nightmares from the past that have somehow come into power in today's world.

In the long run, you and your ilk will be relegated to the dumpster of history. (Then again, your attitude toward climate change may make it all a moot point.)

7. I was just about to post on this.

Gorsuch was put on the court to finish the job that his radical anti-environmental activist mother set out to do when she was appointed head of the EPA by Reagan in 1981. A little info on Mommy Dearest here:

Nearly all of her subordinates came from the ranks of the industries that the EPA was charged with regulating.

Her undoing came as the result of a scandal over mismanagement of the new $1.6 billion Superfund toxic waste clean-up program by effectively freezing its implementation. She was cited for contempt of Congress after refusing to turn over Superfund records, arguing that they were protected by executive privilege.

This was the last straw even for Reagan, who forced her to resign and replaced Gorsuch with Bill Ruckelshaus, a moderate Republican who was appointed by President Richard Nixon in 1970 as the first EPA administrator. Ruckelshaus later resigned as Deputy Attorney General in the 1973 “Saturday Night Massacre” rather than obey NIxon’s orders to fire special Watergate prosecutor Archibald Cox.

When Trump nominated Gorsuch to the Supreme Court in February 2017, the Sierra Club wrote that his “opinions regarding environmental laws may be a matter of maternal trauma as much as conservative ideology.”

5. Which WE all saw but apparently

Collins and Manchin not so much...?

Dummies.

4. Activist judge admits activism

Judge seeks case or cases for the purpose of reversing settled law.
Thomas should be impeahed for that activist position.
A judge with preconceived rulings in mind is not adjudicating, but rather is legislating.
Is not a prejudiced judge cause for change of venue?

6. Ol uncle Clarence can suck my girl dick

My girlfriend and I will have sex anytime we want and with protection I'll supply her contraceptives and myself with condoms. If we grow closer and happier. We will get married. The fascists can fuck themselves.

[dixiechiken1]

9. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL! 🤣

But how do you really feel?!?

[vercetti2021]

10. Oh I'd get banned

If I really said what I felt

[LetMyPeopleVote]

11. The right to privacy has been under attack for a while

This is the asshole who drafted the Texas abortion law. This asshole wants to strike down the implied right of privacy by getting Roe overruled which would/could lead to striking down the right to same sex marriage. interracial marriage, gay sex and other rights

There is a pattern here. These assholes want to get rid of Griswold and undo the right of privacy. That would cause Lawrence v. Texas (consensual same sex intercourse), Cooling v. Virginia (inter-racial marriage), birth control and same sex marriage to be overturned.

Though Mitchell's brief, also signed by his co-counsel Adam Mortara, dedicates much of its time to the Texas abortion law's defense, it also questions "lawless" pieces of legislation, namely the Lawrence v. Texas ruling, which decriminalized gay sex nationwide, and the Obergefell v. Hodges ruling, which legalized same-sex marriage.

Though the brief does not say reversing Roe v. Wade would threaten the same-sex marriage ruling, it does say that

""the news is not as good for those who hope to preserve the court-invented rights to homosexual behavior and same-sex marriage …
"These 'rights,' like the right to abortion from Roe, are judicial concoctions, and there is no other source of law that can be invoked to salvage their existence."

It goes on to add that while the Supreme Court should not necessarily overturn Lawrence and Obergefell, it should consider these two rulings as "lawless" as Roe v. Wade and, by extension, Planned Parenthood v. Casey.

"This is not to say that the Court should announce the overruling of Lawrence and Obergefell if it decides to overrule Roe and Casey in this case."
"But neither should the Court hesitate to write an opinion that leaves those decisions hanging by a thread. Lawrence and Obergefell, while far less hazardous to human life, are as lawless as Roe."
