Um, yeah, but how about Clarence Thomas continuing to demonstrate he’s a wack-job?

Scroll to the fourth paragraph for the relevant analysis. I can’t believe a man like this sits on our Supreme Court. Even conservatives (as long as they’re under the age of 60) will have to shake their heads at this one, right?

Thomas is a judge who asks no questions and seeks no new insight; his antiquated views and frightening silence as a justice, in my mind, only underscore the distance from the public in which he sits. While I found it quite humorous on “Boston Legal” that the characters played by James Spader and William Shatner had a goal of making Clarence Thomas speak during a case, this too highlights how out of touch he is as a Supreme Court Judge. In my view, albeit limited, Thomas appears to be a judge who rules in favor of establishment, corporation, and privilege rather than that of the individual and personal liberty. Of course, I have had the same criticism of the Supreme Court as a whole sine Roberts came aboard in 2005.
