And I can't wait to do a nice little jig on Thomas' grave when that piece of shit dies. This court is entirely illegitimate.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Has he tried NOT taking Bribes from the People arguing Before the Court?
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas told his law clerks in the '90s that he wanted to serve for 43 years to make liberals' lives 'miserable'
The shit heap I helped create is smelly.
Awww, whatsa matter little Clarence? You can dish it but not take it?
In a conversation with his law clerks two years following his confirmation, The New York Times reported Thomas expressed his desire to serve on the court until the year 2034.
"The liberals made my life miserable for 43 years," a former clerk remembered Thomas – who was 43 years old when confirmed – saying, according to The New York Times. "And I'm going to make their lives miserable for 43 years."
What the hell did they do, take a shit on his frosted flakes?
Worse, gave him civil rights.
So he's not even pretending. Cool.
I'm sure he could just retire and hang with his billionaire besty full time and he'd totally still be invited
Nah, those billionaire besties wouldn't pee on him if he was on fire if he retired. They wouldn't have any use for him then.
Like most Americans, he's hanging on to the position because of the "benefits".
If it's too much to handle, you can always quit. No one is forcing you to do a job you hate.
This is just a cry from Thomas for more payola from his concerned "friends".
It's hideous because of corrupt, partisan people like you, Thomas! You should retire, collect the $1 million dollars per year for life from John Oliver, and let someone with ethics take your place...
That offer expired. He’ll need to buy his own new motor coach now or talk to his billionaire friends
John just appeared on Late Night with Seth Meyers and said he still has and would honor the original contact he has. As long as Thomas retires before the fall...
He extended it on another late night talk show a couple days ago, still has the contract ready
Once he retires, they're not going to keep taking his calls.
projection. we know whose actions are nasty and hideous
