(114,132 posts)1. Sitting on the court with Thomas would be horrific for most anyone, but I can't imagine how
hard it is for Jackson and Sotomayor in particular, Kagan nearly as much. The others can't possibly have much respect for him, even if he does parrot the most craven "party lines." I'd bet Roberts and Kavanaugh have the utmost contempt for him even if they are sufficiently pragmatic to hide it. Gorsuch and Barrett may be close to the same. Alito is Thomas' ideological twin so I'm sure the two will be forever "soul mates."

I hope the media gives this attention. Today's dissenting opinion can become tomorrow's law.

that are treating him like he's their bestie.
He doesn't realize....he is STILL being "owned"....bought and paid for.

how much it would cost to put him on permanent vacation?
