Clarence Thomas: The only Supreme Court justice to take photo with a political candidate in history

[TheBlackAdder]

.

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is the only justice in the entire history of the High Court that has taken a photo with a political campaign candidate.

Herschel Walker, who is running for U.S. Senate as a Republican in Georgia, posted a photo of himself with Thomas, which MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell is the only one to have posed for such a photo. O'Donnell said that his research team looked for photos throughout history and that only once has a justice done such a photo and is using it for his political campaign.

Recently, Supreme Court justices have spoken out about the criticism that the court has taken a dramatic turn to support right-wing politics that are out of step with mainstream American values.

1. Are they sure about that?

If he is the first, I'm shocked.

[Hoyt]

2. Don't like either one of those two politically, but does anyone doubt

the political affiliation of any of the 9 Justices?

I get decorum, impartiality, etc., but I’m only surprised by the fact trump is not right out front in photo.

3. Uncle Ruckus has been a disgrace since he

was appointed to the court by Bush senior as the 'replacement' to the legal giant Thurgood Marshall' (which should have told us all we needed to know). He has distinguished himself by not asking a single question in cases argued before yje court in at least the past ten years. He is so uninterested in participating in his lifetime job that some believed he was actually embalmed. He is know for his nonsense dissents and absolutely nothing else, with the possible exception of being blissfully wed to one of the craziest rightwing crazies in Washington. If he can find a new way to piss in the punch bowl, count on Clarence to do it.

11. I've also heard he's never written an opinion

On any case.

12. Wouldn't be at all surprised.

4. Clarence Thomas, an embarrassment to Holy Cross, forever. nt

5. Maybe they are just mutual fans of each other's celebrity.

It could be a sheer coincidence that they also both happen to hold distasteful political views.

6. Pubic hair on a can of coke for a thousand.

7. Slappy Thomas really ought to go.

8. How does this help Walker?!?!?

10. How does it hurt him? NT

13. Thomas is the Uncle Ruckess of my generation of black folk. He's worse than an uncle tom ...

... and a straight up asshole to boot.

If anything GA large % of black people would be more motivated to vote against Walker.

Walker might as well posed with Trump

14. Might be more the Booker T. Washington type who appeased white hegemony.

He was deconstructed by W. E. B. DuBois.
