From CNN:

https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/06/politics/clarence-thomas-harlan-crow-supreme-court-pro-publica/index.html

Thomas, nominated by former President George H.W. Bush in 1991, is the senior-most justice on the court and an intellectual leader of the current 6-3 conservative majority.


When I first read it I laughed out loud, but then I thought about the other dumbasses among the "6-3 conservative majority".
