Clarence Thomas hospitalized

#thoughtsandprayers

for his demise

With an infection causing flu-like symptoms. (I wonder if it’s COVID?)

Can you just imagine is good ole Joe gets another appointment to the SC and this time it is to replace a conservative. Actual war might break out.

But, it's an election year for the next two years, or maybe six...

🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽

Dream on. That piece of shit will live to be 110.

I said this in the Justice Breyer retirement thread, but the timing of his announcement was unusual. Typically, Justices retire at the end of the term (summer). But there’s a tradition that only one Justice will retire at once. If Justice Thomas is in poor health, Breyer may have announced his retirement early to give Justice Thomas some space to make a summer announcement.

What were the rumors re: his being ill? Weren't there rumors he had cancer?

Did Ginni get it too? Did he give it to Alito as well?

Here's hoping!

R7, you think Thomas will retire with a Democrat in the White House???? Yeah, right!

I heard about him being ill. When they pushed through that church lady justice through.

Man, let's finish Kenji Brown through and do the fasted replacement for Thomas after he dies like McTurtle did to replace RBG

It's so much fun to wish death on our political opponents! That's how we know we're the *good ones*! Once we're in charge we'll purge the earth of the meanies with a cleansing fire.

Fuck off, r12.

I hope it ain’t my kind of infection.

I pray for his recovery

I should've killed myself when he put it in me. After the first time, before we were married, Ralph promised never again. He promised, and I believed him. But sin never dies. Sin never dies. At first, it was all right. We lived sinlessly. We slept in the same bed, but with masks on. And then, that night, I saw him looking down at me that way. We got down on our knees to pray for strength. I smelled the whiskey on his breath. Then he took me. He took me, with the stink of filthy roadhouse whiskey on his breath, and I liked it. I liked it! With all that dirty touching of his hands all over me. I should've given you to God when you were born, but I was weak and backsliding, and now the devil has come home. We'll pray.

Die in a grease fire, R12, you worthless sack of shit.

As for Clarence, maybe we'll get lucky and there's a twofer, and his wife will die by his side, gasping for oxygen and in agony.

I can't find it now but I swore there was a quote of Clarence Thomas, something about liberals have been a pain in his ass for 30 years and now he plans on being a pain in their ass for 30 years to come, he ain't retiring.

And, R7, that also gives President Biden the tiniest wiggle room to honor his promise to nominate a Black woman. As hateful as the hearings are going to be next week they will be two levels beyond vivacious when a conservative Justice is being replaced.

Probably started in his urethra. You know he visits corner hos

Go to hell, R12!

The Washington Post adds at the end of their article...

The court did not disclose the reason for the delay in announcing Thomas’s hospitalization.

Thoughts and prayers. Really praying HARD right now.

I hope Anita Hill is laughing her ass off.

He's a big fat Black guy. Even with his government healthcare....

The Supreme Court has to be one of the most leakproof institutions going still. A Justice in the hospital for three days (a high-traffic hospital that a lot of the Post’s readership uses) and it doesn’t get out until they release it.

Pneumonia?

R2, he’s undoubtedly triple-vaxxed.

Although at 73 and obese, any hospitalization is a bad sign (or a good sign, depending on your point of view).

I'm go chill the prosecco.

If he dies, Ginni will expire herself over his body. Twofer.

… And the colored girls go "Doo do doo do doo do do doo..."

His death would be fair given that the piece of shit was in on the insurrection. He's a traitor. He should be retiring in shame, but Republicans are impervious to shame.

The Court apparently 'fessed up because he won't be hearing oral argument on some cases this week.

The press release says he’s getting IV antibiotics, so not COVID.

Didn’t we find out RBG’s cancer was back when she had to be hospitalized for an infection caused by her chemo port?

Maybe it was an infected hair placed strategically on a can of Coke that he drank.

I won't count my chickens before they're hatched (so to speak) but I remember vividly the gleeful comments on social media when RGB died. So I will be...hoping for the best.

r12 enjoy your stage 4 cancer. You deserve it!

If he dies, he dies...

[quote] I remember vividly the gleeful comments on social media when RGB died.

To say nothing of all the nasty wishes for her to die a painful death during her bouts with cancer from conservatives.

[quote] I'm go chill the prosecco.

Oh, no soup for me, thanks.

I remember those, as well.

As I said, hoping for the best. ;-)

Any good coffin dances to recommend, fellow DLers?

His cunt wife just said he has the same radical views as she does... so I hope his death is long and painful.

[quote] The press release says he’s getting IV antibiotics, so not COVID.

What does this mean? They don’t give antibiotics for COVID? Or they don’t give them intravenously?

Help me out here.

r39 and the endless parade of comments about how selfish she was for not retiring from liberals. of course, we could also look at both for the wide range of antisemitic comments too. But it seems people are more conscious of what they shouldn't say about C.T., so kudos to you for not sinking to that level.

R44, COVID is a virus, you can't treat it with antibiotics.

Okay, I'll say it... I hope he dies. Then we can watch the GQP do all they can to PREVENT Biden from nominating his replacement.

Oversimplification, but antibiotics are used to treat bacterial infections, not viral infections. COVID is a viral infection. Common bacterial infections include pneumonia (“the old man’s friend”) and UTIs.

R47 here... sorry, I want to write the GQP will do everything they can to PREVENT Biden's nominee from having a hearing, as they did with Garland. Biden would nominate someone, they wouldn't be able to stop that from happening.

[quote] Fuck off, [R12].

I’ve already dispensed with it — blocked it ages ago.

Of course if he croaks, Mitch will say that it's an election year and we can't have a replacement.

Recall that they shoved the Handmaiden through in three weeks, during an election where people had ALREADY early voted.

But we have 50 Senators + VP so there's not much he could do. Of course, DL faves Manchin and Krystin Enema could gum up the works if their donors request it...

Thanks r46 and r48!

Fucking piece of shit.

r51, no they have been on board with the Justices.

Die Uncle Tom Die!

People don’t get pneumonia out of the blue, even 73 year olds. It’s almost always a secondary illness.

Poor Clarence

I hope there aren't any cords to trip over....

Thomas has been wanting to get off the court for some years now. He was very much hoping for a Trump victory so he could announce his retirement. Once that didn't happen, he told Roberts he would stay for four more years, expecting a republican win in 2024. All the more reason for us to hold the White House then.

Alito, on the other hand, has told people he intends to stay on the court til his last day on earth. Unfortunate. He is as bad as Thomas, but he keeps more to himself. And he's not married to a vicious harpy shrew.

And yes, fuck off R12.

RBG knew for several years she had cancer and reoccurance was probable. With her advanced age and frailty, retiring while Obama was still President, and at least early in his second term, would have been sensible. Don Young, Congressman from Alaska, recently died at age 88.

TERM LIMITS AND MANDATORY RETIREMENT AGE FOR ALL THESE POLITICIANS AND JUDGES.

There are currently four Democratic Party Senators over the age of 77, if anyone of those four or someone younger dies or is hospitalized there goes the Democratic majority since they can not vote from their hospital rooms, until their return or replacement. Which could mean no confirmations.

Bitch has flulike symptoms according to NYT. It's Covid with secondary pneumonia. I hope he goes the way of Herman Cain.

I loved RBG with all my heart, but Christ she should have retired when Obama had the chance to get someone on the bench.

As seen on Twitter:

“Somewhere in Kentucky, Mitch McConnell just broke a sweat”

This disease is definitely killing all the right people.

[quote] “Somewhere in Kentucky, Mitch McConnell just broke a sweat”

He probably did, but not for the reasons we’re thinking.

If this POS croaks — 🤷‍♂️ — expect Rethugs to become apoplectic trying to stop a second Biden appointment to the SCOTUS. It won’t work. Joe will pick a very solid candidate who will be able to sail through any background check. Someone who he knows will vote with the liberal wing of the Court, but won’t make Manchin and Synema nervous.

Hope he dies

I’ll lay wreathe of pubic hair on a Coke can in his memory.

R65 Not enough sadly.

If deaths come in threes, I hope it's Clarence Thomas, Mitch McConnell, and the Orange Anus.

Ketanji Brown Jackson hearings start tomorrow.

Better pray 🙏 that he dies a miserable death.

God does answer our prayers.

Barack Obama would be a fine choice!

[quote]Better pray 🙏 that he dies a miserable death.

Who cares what kind of death it is?

Wherever he is buried will continuously be covered with Coke cans for eternity. It'll be great.

STRIKE HIM DOWN. IT’S ONLY FAIR.

These evil fuckers can’t live forever.

Good thought here in response to why wait two days to announce when they expect him to be released in a few more days

[quote] Until they say his condition and all the details, I'mma keep telling myself that this is a ploy from far right court watchers to get them engaged and enraged about the Ketanji Brown-Jackson hearings this week.

I wish him a complete recovery. A recovery he can best secure by a well-earned retirement.

We oughta get one after the Trump plane failed to do its job.

ever since our beloved RBG passed away so tragically, I've been putting this out into the universe hoping Thomas or Alito would go too

it would be amazing if Biden could fill 2 seats before the midterms. Of course it's just wishful thinking for now

R75, I care.

R42, this is the first thing I thought of:

The KBJ hearings this week will be a shitshow. Expect to see Josh Hawley, Tom Cotton, and Ted Cruz calling her a terrorist sympathizer because she was a defense attorney defending Guantanamo detainees. After all of that, Auntie Concerns (Susan Collins) will have an excuse to vote no. tRump has something on Auntie Concerns and will call in this favor. He doesn't want KBJ confirmed because she ruled against him and said he wasn't a king. Maybe Murkowski will vote for her because I don't think tRump has a hold on her. Mittens will vote against her because he's a major pussy. I'm not sure what Miz Lindsey will do--he has been somewhat reasonable of late but tRump will probably rein him in too. It'll probably be the 50 Democrats voting to confirm + Kamala's tie breaker vote.

If Collins votes against Jackson, it will be the first time she’s voted against a (non-rushed) nominee of either party. Based on this history, I’d be surprised if she’s a no.

Mr. Thomas, your services are no longer required

I could be wrong R86, I just wanted to put my prediction out there. I feel like there was something sketchy with Collins' re-election with campaign funding, something tRump could hold over her head.

And here's one more, R85.

Miss Marsha is now muddying the waters with both Constitutional slander and case precedence she can't even pronounce let alone understand. Of course this is about her announcing her intention to vote no, but it is also moralizing and laying the groundwork for energizing the base in order to propel them into their next slate of legislation following the abortion bans

Squires of DL please chime in. As one of the comments on this tweet noted "she sounds a few pearls short of a jam".

Clarence Thomas' sad last days.

oops...

precedence = precedent

Don't do that, OP. It's bad karma.

I'm no RBG, I'll retire as soon as President DeSantis is sworn in in three years.

I've never heard of him. Has he appeared in movies....worked on a crew.

R89 You mean nice church laydee Marsha Blackburn with her home economics degree? She makes Michelle Bachmann look like a genius.

We won’t be that lucky. Dems really need a miracle.

Someone should let Anita Hill in there to unplug the fucker.

Lawdie Uncle Thomas got da Rona!

You realize they will feel no compunction at all just keeping him hooked up to machines to give his body the technical definition of life for two and a half more years, right? They can Terry Schiavo it.

Who ever believes that sick senario that anita hill laid out is gullible as hell. Have you ever heard what she said ? NOBODY , NOBODY says shit like that. Come on !

R99, No one would notice the difference.

Sending thoughts and prayers wrapped in pubic hair-infested coke.

When he dies, I hope Anita Hill is his replacement.

I wanted her to be the current one, R103, but I think she would also be too old.

Can Handmaid send him a Get Well card on her own or does she need her husband's permission to do that?

Please stop referring to Amy Coney Barrett as a Handmaid. That is really offensive. She is not a Handmaid.

She is Serena Joy.

LOL R106

Noted, R106. (Had to look the character up.)

Starting this week on a high note, blessed be!!!

R74, you couldn't pay him enough to do it.

Anita Hill doing the happy dance.

I hate when people act like Thomas was Scalia’s lackey. Thomas is FAR crazier than Scalia. Scalia was a basic trolling (pre social media!) Republican who claimed to be an originalist because it was convenient for his political positions. Thomas actually rules according to originalism, even though half the time it means he’s advancing an insane opinion.

Calm down R113. It’s a parody account.

Come play with me, Clarence. Forever and ever.

YOU need to apologize for what YOU DID to MY HUSBAND!

I'm shocked that Marsha Blackburn's three abortions (during her fucking black guys phase of life, incidentally) have never been reported on by any major investigative reporting. If nothing else it would be nice to hear how Marsha reconciles her former behavior (3 fucking times) with her current unwavering, ultra conservative views on abortion.

A lot of conservative white ladies are like that, R117. This is how that works: they deserve the opportunity to have abortions because they have the possibility of a future that needs protected. Poor ladies who want or need abortions? They do not deserve that opportunity because they don't have a future to ruin.

See also: Brock Turner.

He gets my thoughts and prayers only because we all know how well THEY work.......

From Heidi and Ted

Oh noooo. He’s my favorite justice :( get well soon!

R118 abortions for some, miniature American flags for others.

Safe, convienent abortions for some, illegal, unsafe abortions, jail, or unwanted pregnancy for the "lesser" ladies, R122.

I hope Uncle Tom dies soon. And he can take his cunt wife with him.

Heidi is an ugly fat pig R120. My wife is much better looking.

[quote]that also gives President Biden the tiniest wiggle room to honor his promise to nominate a Black woman.

"Liberal" racism and hypocrisy at its most shameful.

Anita , please apologise while there’s still time!

He's faking. Maybe he needs some flowers and well wishes after his wife's scandal.

[quote]He underwent tests, was diagnosed with an infection, and is being treated with intravenous antibiotics," the court's press release said

He's on an antibiotic pump.

MRSA?

Maybe his infection will bring on a heart attack....with a scalpel to the chest down a flight of stairs headfirst into a cement floor.

TWO black women?

Can we send Anita Hill into Clarence's hospital room armed with a large pillow?

R131. We must have at least 1 openly gay man.

Make him hot too.

Just die already, cunt Clarence!

Hope it becomes septicemia and kills him. Wishing and hoping.

If Clarence croaks, Ginni will take her millions and buy a theatre in Branson. That seems like it would suit her. Either that or she could become a snake handling mega-church pastorette.

r135, from your mouth to Satan's asshole.

People die in hospitals all the time. Also in the basement of wealthy private homes the day after Christmas.

Fat, ugly R137 is triggered by people's warm wishes for Clarence.

Well, you can go eat Clarence's shit while he's dying, fat pig.

Evil never dies.

Which means he will live to be 106.

YAAAAY!!!

His doctors can make it happen. Save the nation!

YAAAAY!!!

We're getting close...

[quote] TWO black women?

More likely it will be someone of Asian descent. Sri Srinivasan, the Chief Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, seems like an excellent choice. Another first for President Biden.

Maybe I'm being selfish, but I don't want him to die. I want him to be impeached, found guilty, removed and humiliated -

For the rest of his life.

The same goes for his fucking cunt wife!

Jeez. Sorry for the triple post. The DL said the comment wasn't posting.

I wonder if some nurse will do the country a favor and slip in the flesh eating bacteria.

Am I the only one who didn't know his son is an actor? Actually a nice-looking guy.

You just know if this 73yo with health problems dies, the idiot right-wingers will claim conspiracy, because every fucking shithead who dies on their side was killed by the Clintons, I guess.

[quote]Actually a nice-looking guy.

Being a spawn of two evils already cancels everything nice in him. But he's also bald, so it's a NO.

Diet Cokes and pubic hair is what we should send the family, correct OP?

[quote] I want him to be impeached, found guilty, removed and humiliated -

This will never happen. But a painful septic death is more likely if the infection gets into the lungs and/or kidneys.

[quote]You just know if this 73yo with health problems dies, the idiot right-wingers will claim conspiracy

Who the fuck cares about what shithole right-wingers think anymore? They never care about what we left-wingers are thinking. AuntieWorry R151 should get this out of her system already. Death is death is death.

[quote]We must have at least 1 openly gay man. Make him hot too.

Unemployed Chasten would need to pay off his student loans, earn a law degree, gain relevant experience, and have a complete makeover.

R152, he's actually from Thomas' first marriage. Thomas and the she-beast have no kids.

No one wants Chasten flailing his hands around and making insane comments from the bench of the Supreme Court.

r72 I don't know what her views on race are, but she's made some...interesting...statements/rulings in child sex cases that I think she needs to address. I thought it was just right-wing mudslinging, but it appears to be legitimate. I know it's all bullshit politics, but I hope she'll be given a fair opportunity to explain herself during the hearings.

We've had similar issues litigated in Canada, and they're complicated cases that contain a lot of important issues re: the laws themselves and individuals' rights and freedoms.

Has he died yet?

McConnell will die at 88, at his Senate desk. Clarence will die at 93, touring for his latest book "A Hi-Tech Lynching". Donald will get hit by lightning on the golf course at age 102, while still serving as Dictator of the United States of Russia.

I don't even want to get my hopes up on this one - but I've started the week with a reason to smile

When The New Yorker article came out about his wife and then the NYT, I had a feeling the exposure would make him sick. This man has operated on stealth, the last thing he wants is to be exposed and criticized.

Expect civil war if Biden gets two nominees before a mid-term election.

But yes, die Clarence die.

[quote]If Clarence croaks, Ginni will take her millions and buy a theatre in Branson. That seems like it would suit her. Either that or she could become a snake handling mega-church pastorette.

*When* Clarence croaks, Ginni will no longer be useful to those forces behind the Lost Cause 2.0; given what people have leaked about her already, perhaps someone might flip on her as a means to get better deal & she goes to jail (or at least faces serious legal trouble) for her role in the 1/6 riots.

Isn’t Thomas like a white man “Get Out” transplant in a black man’s body anyway, to please Ginni Thomas? Somewhere deep inside Clarence Thomas there’s a black man in the sunken place.

If Thomas were lying in a vegetative state Conservatives would keep him alive until a Republican is elected President.

He's vaxed like every member of the Supreme Court so it's unlikley covid or if it is not life threatening. But Leukemia is a possibility.

I hope he dies. I hope he dies soon. I'll be waitin' for him to die.

FASTER, JUSSYFLU! KILL! KILL!

Clarence and his rabbit faced wife can both go to hell!

Him dying is more realistic, R147.

Die, die, my darling! Her-hee!

Interesting:

[quote] You can make a strong case that Ketanji Brown Jackson is more qualified for this job than ANY of the sitting justices were when they ascended to the court

...and Thomas is the least...

I wonder if he's faking to take the heat off of his traitorous wife?

Most of you wishing him death need to be careful since there is something called karma. I don't like the guy but I won't start my week wishing death on someone I do not know personally or professionally. I want to know how him dying will greatly improve your life. You will feel better for a short period of time and go back to bitching about his possible replacement. Like that old saying Miserable people are never satified.

I would love to see President Biden get the opportunity to appoint at least four Supreme Court justices in his first term and at least another two in his second.

[quote]You just know if this 73yo with health problems dies, the idiot right-wingers will claim conspiracy, because every fucking shithead who dies on their side was killed by the Clintons, I guess.

They were some conspiracy theories when Scalia died, so this would not surprise me. I mean there are people out there expecting JFK Jr. to be Trump's next vice president.

STFU R176.

It's human nature for people to want such a hateful person dead.

When Dump was hospitalized with Covid, most people who despise that imbecile, wanted him dead.

The problem with evil people, they seem to live 'forever', despite their bad habits these types seem to live long lives. Evil people continue to shit on everyone until they day they die, they continue to cause havoc and despair.

Unless he dies in fiery plane crash or a freak accident, I don't think Dump will die anytime soon. Because of that, he remains very dangerous to US democracy.

Ultimately, I have to side with R176. As hard as it was to resist when Trump got COVID, I refused to join my dad and others wished him dead. Just like Thomas can’t escape karma, I’m not confident in my chances of avoiding it either.

[quote] The problem with evil people, they seem to live 'forever', despite their bad habits these types seem to live long lives.

RBG had a deal with the devil to keep her alive through many health problems, but eventually even she expired.

There are worse things than death, R180.

A life of marginalization, restriction of rights, the normalized insurrectionist actions of a US Supreme Court justices’s spouse intending the obfuscation of democracy leading to martial law and internment camps.

Jutstices’s Smollett

Re: Jackson's appointment

Richmond racist John Reid was on the air this morning saying he doesn't believe she is qualified but if any Republican dares question her skills or integrity they risk being labeled as a "racist."

Reid vehemently denies being racist since he sticks his dick nightly into the posterior of his black boyfriend but just Friday, while on air, he reported Obama testing positive for COVID and then announced we needed to notify the Rosa Parks Foundation and the National Museum for Slavery.

I think R176 makes a valid point, however, considering that Thomas has been nothing but a flagrant partisan hack for years, has blatantly abused his role on SCOTUS and cheapened the standing of the court through his & the she-beast's actions, I don't necessarily disagree with a bit of celebrating when fate finally appears to be catching up with him. But realistically, he could be ill for years, not unlike RBG. So it's like too early to be celebrating.

[quote]Most of you wishing him death need to be careful since there is something called karma.

No, R176.

No there’s not.

[quote]RBG had a deal with the devil to keep her alive through many health problems, but eventually even she expired.

So, you are saying RBG was EVIL? She was not.

Most people wish death on evil people. Trump has always been an evil ignorant grifter. Most New Yorkers always had his number.

RIP!

[quote] Just like Thomas can’t escape karma, I’m not confident in my chances of avoiding it either.

Karma is about as real as the Easter bunny.

What is real is all the damage wrought upon people by Republican plutocracy. All enabled by Thomas.

Hope he dies!

I would say that Ginsburg's body was worn down by recurrent cancer but that she was otherwise taking care of herself. Ashkenazi Jews are very prone to various cancers but, even by their standards, RBG was unlucky; apart from that, though, genetics and other factors make Jews very long-lived.

Thomas is just a good old-fashioned obese man. Yes, he will get excellent care but a lifestyle like his catches up with you steadily and I don't see him living to 87 or anything like it (unless he makes big lifestyle changes). If he lives to 80, though, and is still in office he will become the longest-serving Justice ever (because of how young he was on appointment).

His wife didn't pay for busses to take people to the Jan 6 insurrection nor has Justice Thomas supported it. People who repeat such rumors on social media are the left wing equivalent of Qanon loons.

[quote] His wife didn't pay for busses to take people to the Jan 6 insurrection

But she was in the committee of the group who paid for the buses.

Oh please just stop r191. She is a treasonous bitch and he is a bitter lecherous fool.

Please read the NY Times and New Yorker profiles.

covid

Ginni is a ridiculous name for an adult woman to go by, especially with that "cutesy" spelling. It should only be used as a nickname within the family, if at all.

All Federal politicians should be forced to retire at 72.

Forbes.com 2/22/22 She didn't rent the bus, she drove the bus. KEY FACTS Thomas’ wife, Ginni, serves on the board of C.N.P. Action, the political advocacy arm of the right-wing Council for National Policy, which the Times reports circulated an “action steps” document after the 2020 presidential election that advocated for challenging the election results in Arizona, Georgia and Pennsylvania.

C.N.P. Action told its members to “pressure” GOP state lawmakers to appoint alternate slates of electors in states that President Joe Biden won, in an effort to get Congress to recognize those electors over the Democratic ones, claiming there was “historical, legal precedent” for doing so.

Karma is as real as the sky fairy. Talking about karma and astrology? You sound like a moron and are immediately dismissed by educated people.

I keep hoping the DOJ will get something on him or that filthy wife of his that is strong enough to tell him 'retire now or we indict', your choice.

Thomas and wife Ginni will see karma.

I don't know that I necessarily believe in Karma, but I do think that there is a tipping point at which a person's bad deed/actions come back to haunt them. Clearly no repig wants a conservative SCOTUS justice to die under a Dem president, but there doesn't seem to be much love for Thomas or his wife out there either. That as R190 noted, his lifestyle is finally catching up with him too.

What I'm seeing is that they feel like Judge Jackson is going to be confirmed so they are doing everything they can to whip up support for the conservative agenda. Thomas, I'm sure, has no problem with being a pawn in this.

This new attack is a craven ploy to extract an even more tantalizing consolation prize. And Marsha (with her Medusa hair) has been selected head cheerleader.

r202, those are a small collection of the rights that white supremacists believe "other" people do not get.

Whenever someone says a fight for civil rights, it is a fight with white racist supremacists.

R150 That is not Clarence Thomas' son. That is a beautiful actor. Thomas son is 49 yo and featured below.

R198 you shouldnt have said that. Just watch , the next year of your life will be a wakeup call for you.

I’m surprised he has a black son with a a black wife.

MAGA Miss Marsha could not even explain what the term "constitutionalist" means if she had to do so. The Home Ec major's holiday fudge looked nasty.

Not linking to Fox propaganda, it is reported she has been making multiple trips to New Hampshire and Iowa. She has delusional presidential ambitions. Outside of Memphis, Tennessee media will give her fluffy coverage and Fox gives her fawning exposure.

[quote]I want to know how him dying will greatly improve your life.

You're quite dumb, aren't you?

R206. I'm not. Remember, he tried to fuck Anita Hill. As Head of EEOC it looks like he practiced what he preached by being an Equal Opportunity Hoe!

[quote]His wife didn't pay for busses to take people to the Jan 6 insurrection nor has Justice Thomas supported it. People who repeat such rumors on social media are the left wing equivalent of Qanon loons.

Asshole, people like you would want every Muslim arrested if one so much as talked about insurrection. This woman has made money being an "adviser" to parties that came before her fucking husband. She is in fact an insurrectionist and corrupt. There is no denying her beliefs. It's sickening how you're making excuses for someone who does not hide her agenda. She met with Trump in the oval office - that is galling. HER HUSBAND IS ON THE SUPREME COURT.

R205=delusional religitard dipshit

I love the jerks who talk about "karma" esp., in the case of people who are clearly evil. How come the "karma" isn't that he got sick because he and is wife are evil and a pox on the country?

Thomas & Ginni have lived very cushy lives off taxpayers. Ginni's right-wing extremism and activism played a significant part in the insurrection.

Unfortunately, Biden nominated an AG who is notably meek when it comes to investigating, much less indicting, any Republican that is not a commoner.

R213 I think Biden is in real trouble with his AG pick, IF nobody from the Trump administration goes to jail, I wouldn't expect Biden to get a second term. It is well know that Biden always wanted to give Trump a pass but people were hopeful that he would stay out of the AG's business. HE did the end around by picking someone he KNEW would not go after Trump. HE thought he was slick. Biden may have just "Slicked" himself out of a second term.

R214 If Biden wins a second term, and that is a huge IF, I would replace Garland with Preet Bharara, who I think would have the cojones to go after the Orange Turd and those around him.

And for those who think it's best to leave well enough alone, let's play the "if Dems did what Trump did" game. I have no doubt the lot of them would have already been indicted, jailed or sentenced. The fact the Dems want to turn the page, turn the other way, turn the other cheek, makes me sick. Best to play the same game the GQP is playing - that is a game with no rules, where the most ruthless win. Start bringing assault rifles to the knife fight, cause the GQP are already bringing them (bad analogy, but you get my point).

Trouble is, I don't think the Dems win in '24.

On the plus side (ok, this would be two plusses because Thomas would be d-e-d) if Clarence suddenly dies, this could generate some support among Republicans for changing the lifetime terms of SCOTUS.

DIE ASSHOLE. DIE TODAY.

Trump is a pretty nice guy. Can't we just let bygones be bygones?

I despise that ugly son of a bitch.

The thing about "wishing people dead" is, yes sometimes it seems to come from a place of real personal malevolence and partisan vengefulness. But for a lot of us it comes from the total frustration we feel from the political system being so rigged by the right wing and regressive forces like dark money and flagrant disinformation being churned out 24/7 by Fox News. In the case of Trump, it seemed like there was almost nothing that could stop him from leading this entire country into an ignorant, dark hell, and in fact it nearly was true. We almost didn't win that election because of the extreme, coordinated chicanery they pulled. I don't *wish* any of these people dead, but we don't see many opportunities for such short cuts as the sudden removal of hyper-conservative leaders.

R220 X 1,000

Sexual predators sometimes live very long lives, their sexual obsession keeps them going, a reason to live, searching for that next victim, or the fantasy of doing so in their fractured heads, the head on their shoulders, and the head between their legs. Always thought Clarence Thomas was beyond vile and disgusting... :-/

Biden should nominate Merrick Garland for Thomas’ seat.

Garland was the right nomination for a Republican Senate. Too conservative, now.

[quote] Biden should nominate Merrick Garland for Thomas’ seat.

I've been saying that myself for a while. If Biden gets another opening on the SCOTUS that's the best way to get Garland out of DOJ. He doesn't seem to have enough energy for that job. We need a liberal pit bull in that job.

I wonder if this is how his wife talks to him.

If GQP wins the House and/or Senate, they will start having endless hearings against Democratic figures, i. e. Hunter, Joe, Hillary, State Dept. officials, 1/06 investigation committee members, 2020 vote counting officials in states where Biden won by the smaller margins, and others. Playing nice and accommodating now with Republicans will not stop their vindictiveness, political ploys, and more enacting on lies. Merrick Garland has been a disaster running DoJ. He's Barr lite and it is not about body weight. They are from the same beltway social circle & network along with Kavanaugh and others.

Is he dead yet?

[quote]Trouble is, I don't think the Dems win in '24.

Depends on how much damage a Republican House and Senate does in two years. Americans may decide they need a executive counterbalance to legislative insanity.

Between Covid making a dent in the electorate and the collapse of Russian campaign funds I’d say the Dems have a much better shot at holding on to the House and Senate.

[quote]Biden should nominate Merrick Garland for Thomas’ seat.

I agree.

Can't wait to outlaw abortion and criminalize homosexuality.

He's fine! He sends his love!

Merrick Garland is an old white man and a pussy. So many better candidates than him.

Do you think the other S. Ct. justices have a betting pool as to how many days he has left. We know Kavanaugh is a gambling addict.

[quote] Most of you wishing him death need to be careful since there is something called karma.

If all of our wishes came true, there would be a lot of dead people. Karma actually applies to one's next incarnation.

The New Yorker did a profile on his wife who belongs to a lot of organizations that often have cases pending before the Supreme Court but Thomas never recuses himself . She comes off as a wacko for zany causes.

If there was such a thing as karma, Clarence Thomas would have been dead years ago.

“the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice"

MLK, who know doubt would have some choice words about brother Clarence

MLK would have envied him for marrying a white woman.

Dick Cheney is still alive.

Karma is a fairy tale with no connection to reality.

[quote]Biden should nominate Merrick Garland for Thomas’ seat.

Garland already has a job. He's not doing it, but he has one.

Biden won’t fire the AG so he needs to promote him silly.

Then he can start over with Sally Yates or Preet Bharara as AG with no scandal.

This was the weirdest fucking story. Couple of real sickos here.

You think it’s weird that a wife would be protective of her husband?

It took 30 years to kill Scalia on the bench, now it will take almost the same time to kill Thomas too. His sad, last days.

Black males have the lowest life expectancy of any demographic group, so he’s been living on borrowed time anyway.

He doesn't have to die -- all he has to do is come close enough to death that he feels a need to retire to "spend more time with his family." Coming || that close to death can do that to an old man, so I'm hoping he sees a white light and hears voice calling him "home."

R245, leaving a nasty voicemail message NINETEEN years after Hill testified is pure craziness.

[quote]Biden should nominate Merrick Garland for Thomas’ seat.

Biden should do what Dump & The Turtle did when RBG died - nominate the complete opposite in every sense.

Merrick Garland ain't it.

Barack Obama would be an AMAZING Supreme Court justice. We should all be so lucky.

I’ve known Merrick Garland for nearly 30 years and was a colleague of his at DOJ in the 1990s. I appeared before him when he was on the Court of Appeals. He’s a brilliant lawyer and was a great judge. When Obama nominated him, I thought he was a superb choice to replace Scalia. Had it not been for McTurtle’s despicable obstructionism, Merrick should have and would have been confirmed to the Court in 2016.

But, that was then and this is now. He will be 70 in November. There are other, younger candidates who would do a fantastic job.

I did not think that Merrick was the best choice for AG, precisely because he is too much of an institutionalist. I preferred one of the former Democratic US Attorneys, like Sally Yates, Doug Jones, or Preet, and still do.

I am *extremely* disappointed by Garland. It is strange how I continually place my hope for our country on members of our federal government. Why? Why do I keep doing this? I did it with Mueller, again with Garland. I am sure Garland is a good and decent human being — but he so far is not showing me that he is also a leader. A real fucking leader would challenge the status quo. A real leader would uphold the law, regardless of title, status, bank account, allies. A real leader would act for the People to uphold our Constitution.

I also believe that the Dems allowing this to go on is going to bite us in the ass on a level we can’t even imagine. I am talking waaay bigger than merely losing the Senate. We are going to pay a steep price for not forcing Dems to uphold the law. It is such a travesty. I honestly think I’m really done. We could fix this!!!!! That’s what is so maddening! I’m on a freight train that’s going off a cliff, and I can’t jump off.

Can someone sneak into his hospital room and inject some air bubbles into his IV?

Paging nurse Baylock…

I would like to see Thomas reckon with Justice KBJ on the bench and in oral argument, putting paid to all of his ridiculous arguments that equate recognition of societal racism with racism itself. He has gotten away with a lot of stupid claims in opinions and dissents because there hasn’t been another black Justice to call him out.

Is he dead yet?

Embolism will bring Clarence down, down to the grave. Let's pray for his journey to the other world.

If KBJ gets confirmed, but Thomas dies before Breyer retires, does she automatically replace Thomas?

No, she will be replacing Justice Breyer. There’s no distinction between the Associate Justices other than seniority, which you can’t confer.

The only time something like this would happen is if the Chief Justice died while a nominee was pending and the President wanted that nominee to become Chief. That’s what happened to Justice Roberts.

"I don't wish anyone dead, but there are certain obituaries I'm looking forward to reading."

[quote] Barack Obama would be an AMAZING Supreme Court justice. We should all be so lucky.

We don't need tp be nominating 60-year olds to the High Court. I wasn't even happy with a 51-year old such as KBJ.

MRSA?

Maybe he got sick from rimming that beached whale of a wife?

^double ewww

Has the Grim Reaper come for him yet?

Uncle Clarence Tom

He's the blackest judge and yet the most racist and bigoted. It's like he's a self-hating cunt. How is that possible?

R268: Samuel Jackson's performance as "Snowball" in "Django Unchained" provides some hints.

I'd love to see this old piece of shit keel over dead!

R251, he's not liberal enough. And is too accomodating to Repugs. Maybe he's gotten over that now but I still wouldn't chance it.

I can't believe he's not dead yet. This year has sucked so hard...I need a win.

Picture the funeral and its attendees; the ultimate trump rally.

Will donald eulogize Cla'nce? Pass a donation basket?

Republicans keep bullying Democratic Supreme Court nominees to "interpret the Constitution literally, and obey it as written!" over and over again. Chuck "The Fossil" Grassley did this today with nominee Jackson. Is it totally lost on these fucking morons that [italic]Loving v. Virginia[/italic] is a very recent ruling outlawing miscegenation laws and that the most radical right-wing Justice, Clarence Thomas is a black man married to a white woman!?

Should we demand Justice Thomas defend [italic]Loving v. Virginia[/italic] even though a strict constructionist would have never voted for it?

Why am I the only one asking this softball question?

R273, has Trump - who has to be “the corpse at every funeral” - ever eulogized anyone?

I wonder why he got into the habit of not asking questions during oral arguments. I know there are several other justices who do and will ask questions, but still. Why not ask questions?

R276, he's an intellectual vacuum.

I nominate Oprah!!! Bitch always judging me and my middle age spread. Like she got room to talk. Thems some big legs she got hiding under that Pucci caftan.

R276 because Thomas is quite unintelligent and doesn't have a curious bone in his body, or an original one.

Will anyone ever out Justice Roberts? Souter got out while the gettin' was good. Roberts' embarrassing college photos seem to have disappeared from Google, More cake, anybody?

Can we pull this thread back to how much we wish to see CT taking a dirt nap?

I'm sure he's been getting colonoscopies but pancreatic cancer is still a possibility which is really hard to test for.

R252, I think the problem with Garland is that he is so stuck in tradition that he's attempting to apply that tradition to unprecedented behavior unworthy of that tradition. We have never had a president who was so in violation of his oath to the point that I doubt he even understood what his oath was. He was a president who had no business being a president because he has less than no respect for the institution itself - not to mention I doubt he could even recite the constitution or tell you who wrote it . We had an anti-American, anti-constitutional, ignorant, scumbag, corrupt, undemocratic president who was corrupt before, during and after his presidency. The fact that he took classified documents that are so classified that we are not allowed to even know what they are, should've been enough to imprison that pile of shit. The fact that he attempted to overthrow the government and enabled scumbag Republicans to use his lie to change voting laws to impede the most basic right of an American citizen, should be a death sentence for him. Trump is a terrorist leader - let's not pretend he isn't.

Yeah Garland was a great judge but he's not strong enough to be AG. Biden gave him the job out of pity because he cares about fairness and felt bad that Garland was robbed of being on SCOTUS. He's taking way too fucking long to prosecute ANY of Trump's open and shut crimes. The fact that he might not have even opened a criminal investigation into anything Trump-related a year into his job is baffling.

Many liberal voters have lost confidence in our government and justice system. Plenty of democracies around the world prosecute former leaders if they commit crimes. The fact that Trump is still not indicted for ANYTHING just turns a lot of people off because it's so unfair. If he dies without being found guilty and sent to jail that will be 1 of the biggest injustices in American history. Why should normal people follow the law if Trump is clearly above it? There's no fucking reason why Garland has to be so damn careful about everything. Just follow the rules and make decisions. Piece of shit Barr certainly wasn't worried about the institution when he made all those horrific and partisan hack moves. Garland is not a partisan hack but he's also weak. The repubs are at the point now where they will go after Biden and other Democrats should they get power back after the midterms. It won't matter what Garland does or does not do. If he finally fucking decides to go after Trump the repubs will lie and claim another false equivalence to open bullshit investigations chasing conspiracy theories about Biden, Harris, Clinton etc

If Thomas can make it beyond this year, & the republicans take back the Senate, Biden can kiss his chances of getting even a hearing on a new Justice away.

on the bright side, if Thomas does die after the midterms and Democrats lose, at least there'll just be an open seat. An open seat formerly occupied by a scummy right winger is better than nothing.

[Quote]Biden should nominate Merrick Garland for Thomas’ seat.

R223 Yeah the best way to reward Garland for his incompetence and failure to do what's right is to give him another powerful high profile job to fuck up!

NO! We don't need anymore milquetoast Democrats. Retire that bitch!

Garland can take his time prosecuting Trump till 2024, then use it during the election to help Biden win a second term.

I don't know why everybody is mad at Garland?? Just chill!!

If the Repugs regain Congress, Garland and the Justice department are going to be busy with the seventy three impeachment proceedings brought forth by Kev and his minions.

All those cokes laced with pubic hairs must have finally caught up with him.

R244 Can Ginni apologize to America for being an insurrectionist, since Merrick Garland is too scared to do his job and indict the bitch?

Oh, I’ll be waiting with bated breath R205, you fucking illiterate moron.

IS HE DEAD YET?

Anyone ever thought that Garland, like Mueller, is being paid not to act.

The GOP keeps hammering "Justices shouldn't be judicial activists!!"

In fact, the right-wing justices are the activists--personal right to guns, businesses are people, campaign money is speech, and on and on.

The GOP has been consistent in their hypocrisy.

MRSA?

Flu like symptoms….

Is Ginni Thomas a DL'er?

New Yorker Mag. 1/21/22

...Ginni graduated from Creighton University, in Omaha, and then attended law school there. Her parents helped get her a job with a local Republican candidate for Congress, and when he won she followed him to Washington. But, after reportedly flunking the bar exam, she fell in with a cultish self-help group, Lifespring, whose members were encouraged to strip naked and mock one another’s body fat.

Garland's legacy will be meekness and fear, and letting the orange con man and his cronies slide-by on everything.

Democrats and democracy will suffer as a result.

[quote] If the Repugs regain Congress, Garland and the Justice department are going to be busy with the seventy three impeachment proceedings brought forth by Kev and his minions.

I doubt it will be more than two, which will be used to even the political score. Eventually, impeachment will stop being used as a political tool.

I know I’m going to get hammered, but I believe no Attorney General in this era will ever indict a former president—although Dump supremely deserves it, as Nixon did (and Dubaya for that matter). It’s just a bridge too far for these traditionalists. However, I’m at a loss to figure out why not one of Dump’s band of idiots have been indicted yet. We all know they broke the law, and there certainly is precedent for indicting them.

I can’t believe this bitch is still here. What we don’t need is lifetime appointments on the Supreme Court.

“ I know I’m going to get hammered, but I believe no Attorney General in this era will ever indict a former president..”

I agree that no Democratic AG will indict a former president

R304 Nothing is sacred with GOP. Jan 6 should have been a wake up call to anyone still not paying attention. GOP will do ANYTHING for power.

Good point r304. But I wonder if they’re sort of thinking “mutually assured destruction.” No ex president gets indicted.

I'm really looking forward to seeing him choke on Satan's hot cock

R307 Why? He's already eating Satan's pussy!

I have wondered if some of the reluctance of the Justice Department is the seating of a jury. Any jury with even one of Trump's cult followers sitting on the jury would most likely refuse to find Trump or his cronies guilty regardless of the evidence. Jury selection would be critical.

While I would love to see Trump die in prison, Attorney General Garland doesn't even seem to be interested in going after anyone of Trump's cronies. Nixon's henchmen served prison time for their crimes. Trump's accomplices should be investigated and tried.

There’s no city in the nation that hates Trump more than DC. There’s a reason he was booed so lustily at the Nats game.

It's time to admit Garland, like Mueller was, is being paid off to "look the other way."

Neither Garland nor Mueller was paid off. They are just institutionalists.

I hope he Clarence never comes out of the hospital, alive.

[quote]Neither Garland nor Mueller was paid off. They are just institutionalists.

Sure, Jan.

What's the latest update ?

Strange how these so-called "institutionalists" are willing to sit back and let the institutions be destroyed when they have the means to save it.

R312 I'm pretty sure both of these "institutionalists" would have no problem indicting and convicting President Barack Obama had he done 1/10 of the shit done by Trump and his cronies.

"inshtitushionalishtsh" ish a mouthful!

Wasn’t Thomas supposed to be released? He’s been in the hospital for 5 days now.

When I got back to the self-check out, I saw the attendant had my receipt in his hand and he was going through my buggy - cross referencing what was in the buggy with what was on the receipt. I knew what was going on upon first sight. I was so pissed off about this.

Mary!

MRSA?

That works for me R324

if a Democratic President had done just ONE of the many things Trump has done and the next administration was repub, without a doubt the repub AG would have already investigated the former President and be drooling at the chance to indict.

Garland is a nice guy but he's just not strong enough for the job. If he's waiting until the end of the Jan 6 committee then that's a mistake too. If a repub wins the 2024 presidential elections, any investigation into Trump that Garland starts will be shut down immediately. Should Trump be federally indicted, the new repub president will immediately pardon him and say it was a partisan witch hunt. There's no good enough excuse for Garland to have not done something by now and given that there have been no leaks, it's highly doubtful he's done anything

I'm not ready to condemn Garland yet. I do, however, find it interesting that there's so much animosity towards him on DL. Some are likely just impatient for something to happen (I am too, and WTF is going on with Matt Gaetz's investigation by the DOJ?) but I wonder if there isn't a troll campaign against him, much like the ones for Kamala Harris.

[QUOTE] Anyone ever thought that Garland, like Mueller, is being paid not to act

Nah. Those two weaklings don’t need to be paid.

Exactly, R316. I keep wondering how you apply "norms" in response to abnormal circumstances? How do you apply "executive privileges" to someone who completely violated and abused those privileges? So Trump and the scum around him can violate every single law or act meant to safeguard the executive branch and then use those same laws to shield themselves from prosecution by citing executive privilege? It's just disgustingly absurd.

NOW IS HE DEAD YET?

That’s part of the problem r327. I am one of those who are legit posters, but there are no doubt trolls here too. We have to be able to discuss this topic and stay on focus — and you can tell that they really don’t want us discussing this. Garland is beginning to look like a complete and utter dud. I want to be wrong, but how long do we wait before we realized we’ve been Muellered yet again?!? I know we need to stay calm and rational. I’m just asking, are we waiting for something dramatic to happen here? What’s our plan B when nothing happens? How long before we acknowledge that he’s not going to do anything? Are we going to wait to bitch about this until 2023, when Trump runs again? I mean JFC, I do not understand the total disengagement anymore. Yes, we’re in a world war, but to me, that should make us even *more* upset by Garland!!!! What in the ever loving fuck is he going to do about this shit??? We as citizens have the right to at least get a status update from the fucking DOJ on Trump!!! Otherwise this is just death by a thousand cuts to America!

R329 it's infuriating but that is exactly what has happened. Trump and his associates broke all the rules but then get awarded protection by the same rules because not enough people are willing to hold the fuckers accountable. Consequently there is a numbness now that has overtaken many Americans who were excited to get them out of office. People just don't think anything's going to happen to them now because it's been over a year and NOTHING despite the emergency

A major consideration in indicting someone is “can you get a conviction.” I think the problem could be that Garland and other DOJ prosecutors realize that there is absolutely no way they can keep a MAGAt (or few) off a jury. Given the commitment MAGAts feel about Trump, a conviction would be virtually impossible. A hung jury is the best that one could hope for.

Given that reality, perhaps it is less embarrassing to not bring charges versus indicting and losing.

so by not charging them, that means they're above the law which goes against the premise of what the US is supposed to be

R333 — I agree that that is likely the number one (or two) consideration. But what about just doing what is right? What about doing what is just? What about doing your actual job?

There was a time when we believed that these questions require real answers. We used to fight for these principles. If Garland’s main consideration is the public embarrassment, then he is not fit to stand in those shoes. If his main fear is that there will be violence, then he is not fit to stand in those shoes. If there was ever a time when we need true leadership, it is right now. We cannot fail.

Prognosis: negative

I mean just when we thought we had Trump for sure, the Manhattan DA stalls the fraud case because the #1 witness stupidly won't flip. I hope they throw the fucking book at Weisselberg. He deserves to die in jail if he won't smartly save himself by cutting a deal and turning on Trump

I'm hoping for necrotizing flesh disease as a result of an infection from a recluse spider AND sepsis.

Look, I'm a very busy man doing very important work that requires my full attention.

Clarence doesn't respect black women. So he threw this drama queen stunt to detract from Ketanji's nomination hearings.

Those on RBG should give her a break. She like everyone till the month before the election thought that Hillary was going to win. She wanted Hillary to appoint her replacement

R333, aren't there ways to go after Trump or his cadre that don't require a jury? I'm thinking perhaps a House investigation where people have to testify before Congress, a situation where three or more justices decide the verdict, I don't know -- I'm not a lawyer, but I know there are various permutations of our justice system that would allow prosecutions without having to take the risk of plunging into the proverbial deplorable pool to find jurors.

[quote]She like everyone till the month before the election thought that Hillary was going to win. She wanted Hillary to appoint her replacement

The Democrats are bad at strategizing and prioritizing and they are not ruthless. That's why they always have to play catch-up with the Repug' shithole tactics.

It'll come out eventually (probably years from now) that Mueller, Garland, Bragg are on the payroll of dark money.

The only thing we can be sure of he is hospitalized. That's something that couldn't be kept under wraps. But everything else is a lie and why he's there is anybody's guess.

It looks like he’s still there. It’s been 6 days, which is a long duration today. My friend had a stroke and uncontrolled C-diff and stayed those durations. Actually with the stroke, he stayed only 5 days. Damn I wish we have some info about what he has.

If they have him on an antibiotic pump, he has some resistant shit.

I'm hoping for MRSA that leads to sepsis.

MFB!

How long was Bill Clinton in the hospital with sepsis?

IS HE DEAD YET?

[quote] The Democrats are bad at strategizing and prioritizing

You think Breyer’s retirement during Biden’s administration and Biden picking a relatively young Black woman were just random decisions?

R344, it's because the Dems insist upon being academic and judicious and playing by the book against people who've already set fire to it.

Just for fun, IF Thomas vacates his seat in whatever way, who would Biden pick as his second SCOTUS nominee? White guy? Asian? A second African-American woman? I'm truly curious. What say you, DLers?

I also think Biden will name Childs to replace Jackson Brown on her soon-to-be-vacant seat.

Here is the Bill Clinton thread when he went through his sepsis ordeal. I'm vibing the same situation here, as are others.

Is he dead yet?

I have a source saying he's on life support.

R352, it’s a question of how low can we go? If we go low, they will go lower. They’ve already proved that. So my question for people much smarter than me—what strategy can we employ that will counteract this? Frankly I don’t want the Democratic equivalents of Ted Cruz, Tom Cotton, or Boobert, etc.

R356, if you’re planking us I will personally enter cyberspace and strangle you.

Is Dr. Kevorkian still alive? If so, send him in to do the job.

CNN: The Supreme Court declined to say Wednesday whether 73-year-old Justice Clarence Thomas remains in the hospital, though he had been expected to be released by Tuesday evening.

I would hope Biden's next Justice choice would be an Asian or Latino male.

Of course I meant punking at r358.

I've never heard of Progressive News Network so I cannot verify the veracity of this.

But...

^ When the dissenting Justices are really pissed, they leave out the "respectfully".

The SC’s public information officer has already specifically stated that Thomas does not have Covid.

Is there any Native Americans on the bench who could be nominated.

Next in line.

Maybe Ginny poisoned him? Could be she's mad her husband hasn't "convinced" the Court to rule more in favor of Cheetolini.

I have heard that Thomas is comfortably drinking cans of coke and picking at his pubes, so no different from when he’s in the office.

Fucking spell check! Ill at r370. Why does it say Tweet Unavailable? I was just at their page.

I have been getting weird ads on YT and yesterday got one promoting Justice Thomas and insulting Ketanji Brown Jackson!!...Looked into it and it's some conservative group called "Judicial Crisis Network"....((LINK))..Nobody victimizes themselves more than the Republicans----they STEAL Supreme Court Seats and THEY are in a "judical crisis"......

From the Washington Post

Justice Clarence Thomas missed oral arguments at the Supreme Court this week because of his hospitalization for treatment of an infection.

A court spokeswoman declined to provide an update on Thomas’s condition.

He was admitted to Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington Friday night, complaining of flu-like symptoms. Sunday night, the court said in a new release that he had been diagnosed with an infection and was being treated with intravenous antibiotics.

A court spokeswoman Sunday night reiterated that Thomas had been vaccinated and boosted against the coronavirus, and that his illness was not covid-related.

Justices decide for themselves how much health information they will release to the public, and there has been no additional guidance.

Isn't Miss Lindsey throwing a drunken hissy fit during SCOTUS confirmation hearings kind of his thing? I recall him screeching during the Kavanaugh hearing "TELL KAGAN AND SOTOMAYOR THAT LINDSEY SAYS HELLO!"

If Lindzeybelle had a rotary phone at that hearing, she would've slammed down the receiver!

Freepers be gone!

SCOTUS won't say if Uncle Clarence is still in the hospital or not?

[quote]Justices decide for themselves how much health information they will release to the public

Turns out a lot is left to the Justices' discretion: whether to recuse themselves, to release information, to write motives to decisions on the Shadow Docket....

He has "flu-like symptoms" but its some sort of infection? Sounds sketchy, I bet he has covid. Also why would they believe him when he says he's vaccinated???? He and his wife are well known liars.

He probably has sepsis, right?

R394 why are obsessively stalking. Get help. I am sure he is fine and recovering.

Clarence Thomas has been in the hospital since Friday. 6 days, clearly very serious.

[quote] I am sure he is fine and recovering.

Based on you to stop obsessing over him. If you hope he is dead, I am sure he isnt. So your bad wish crashed.

Go play in traffic you twat r401.

He is a Supreme Court Justice, so yes it matters what is happening to him. People care.

R401, Im not the poster you were responding to initially, but I am r400. And I just dont see evidence to come to your conclusion.

I think if he had been released from the hospital, they’d be happy to let us know.

Oh for God's sake just die!

I’m sure Thomas is laughing at the thought that his enemies think he is dying.

R402 you don't care you are just been messy. So save the fake concern. r403 Neither do I see you and others pointing to some thing serious like you have insider info.

R397 I'm guessing sepsis. This feeling similar to when Bill Clinton was hospitalized, see link at r354 , which turned out to be a UTI that went septic. Pretty sure we came thisclose to "losing" Bill when that went down.

[post redacted because independent.co.uk thinks that links to their ridiculous rag are a bad thing. Somebody might want to tell them how the internet works. Or not. We don't really care.

R411 this is what happens when once brain is preoccupied with wishing death on others they do not know.

I hope justice Clarence Thomas is in a stable condition. The more stable the better. Actually the most stable condition is being dead. So I hope he's in the most stable condition he's ever been: dead.

[quote]Isn't Miss Lindsey throwing a drunken hissy fit during SCOTUS confirmation hearings kind of his thing? I recall him screeching during the Kavanaugh hearing "TELL KAGAN AND SOTOMAYOR THAT LINDSEY SAYS HELLO!"

It is -- but the clip I saw of him yesterday he just seemed a bit off physically. Maybe it was just an extra cocktail or maybe he is starting to crack from the pressure it is that happened at that golf game that made him go from Trump critic to his number one toady overnight.

Angel of death, do your fucking job!

If he's comatose, does his cock still work?

Oh, just DIE!

R413 - 1. I am the OP/R411. I can do whatever the fuck I want.

2. Your tweet. [quote]Based on you to stop obsessing over him. If you hope he is dead, I am sure he isnt. So your bad wish crashed.

Clearly, English is not your first language.

Here are hopeful stats from the CDC website:

Anyone can get an infection, and almost any infection, including COVID-19, can lead to sepsis. In a typical year:

At least 1.7 million adults in America develop sepsis.

Nearly 270,000 Americans die as a result of sepsis.

1 in 3 patients who dies in a hospital has sepsis.

Sepsis, or the infection causing sepsis, starts outside of the hospital in nearly 87% of cases.

I wonder how many hospital staff are caring for an asshole who may have personally made many of their lives more difficult with his decades of selfish right wing judicial activism.

I hope Clarence Thomas gains comfort knowing so many here are taking interest in his health.

Not hopeful at all R420. He only has a 15.8% chance of being dead if it is sepsis.

My neighbor died of sepsis. She was fine, but started to feel those flu-like symptoms. The next day—literally—her son found her on the bathroom floor delirious. She died later that night. It came in incredibly quickly.

Of course, we don’t know if that’s what Thomas has.

I hope it's sepsis as a complication of MRSA and necrotizing flesh bacteria.

But we can hope, R424.

I think it may be severe infection if he needs IV antibiotics to treat it. His sad, final days. And I hope it crosses the blood-brain barrier and goes on to destroy his already vitiated brain.

Thomas did not have COVID-19 and his infection was being treated with intravenous antibiotics, the court has said.

Let's get ahead of ourselves & start eyeing possible replacements. This list, primarily of a Biden's COA appointments, is a good resource. I'd especially being considering the youngest ones, born no earlier than 1975.

[quote]He only has a 15.8% chance of being dead if it is sepsis.

Clarence Thomas can beat the odds. Go Clarence!

Between 1807 and 1837 the Supreme Court had only seven Justices. This is an ideal number that our country was wrong to have increased, and it's my considered opinion—in which I am joined by my good friend from across the aisle Sen. Sinema—that if and when we happen get down to that number again we should keep it that way. Until a Republican is president.

He's fine! He sends his love!

Can we install another horrifyingly underqualified, cult headed, woman hating sister wife or drunken, hair triggered teen rapist?

I was watching MSNBC earlier and they pulled a "BREAKING NEWS" with teh music and everything. I got all excited when the anchor said ".Breaking News. We report the death of..." and I got so fucking excited, only to find out it was Albright,

the*

HA!^. That’s actually cute. Don’t worry, I’m feeling lucky tonight, this evening is still young my love!

[quote]intravenous antibiotics.

YASSSS gurl, he'll be gone by the weekend!

Can we trick Crazy Eyes Ginni into believing that Clarence was some kind of stealth liberal? Maybe she'll go in and pull the plug herself.

Uncle Tom has outlived his usefulness. I hope he expires very soon.

"I’m sure Thomas is laughing at the thought that his enemies think he is dying."

I'm sure Thomas is laughing at YOU. Because he's a homophobe who hates gay people.

Oh, no, no, no no. Not falling for it. I remember Fitzmas. And Mueller-time. I’d prefer to wait until the coroner declares him “most sincerely dead.”

Technically Covid is an infection.

I was suspicious of this sudden illness right when there's been all the recent press about his wife and Jan 6th.

This seems like a distraction to change the news - and it worked.

Man, what is the psychology of people who see elaborate conspiracy theories behind everything r442.

Yes, he was never in the hospital r442. The supreme court, the hospital, the media they are all in on it!

R443 - don't be naive. This is the Republican playbook - create another issue or distraction to steal away focus. They themselves however will NEVER LET SHIT GO and repeat lies over and over and over.

Nixon's AG John Mitchell had a meddlesome wife named Martha, and she gave that crew a run for their money.

Then, she died.

Julia Roberts is playing Martha Mitchell in a new limited series called Gaslight.

Sorry, it's called Gaslit.

If the Thomas/Hill shitstorm happened today, he would never be on the Supreme Court. It was a different world back then.

Come to think of it, I'd like a refund as well!

Wow! Thanks, R446, I wasn't aware of the pending series. Interesting casting: I could see Laura Dern as MM, Julia Roberts not so much.

HAS HE CROAKED YET?!

Patience, R451. I am almost done with this massive renovation, leaving a huge backlog of new arrivals down here.

Can we hire a big drag queen to dress as Ginni (you just know the real Ginni isn't sitting there holding his hand and keeping vigil) and show up for a visit to "fluff his pillow"?

R448, were you paying attention during Kavanaugh's confirmation? They both had happened years earlier and, in Kavanaugh's case, there were multiple allegations.

Anita Hill would be believed today, r454. That was different than cavanaugh

Just die already, you old coot Clarence!

R455, no one believed the numerous women about Kavanaugh. You're not making any sense.

Can a brain-damaged guy still sit on the Supremem Court? I mean, one with clinical signs of brain damage.

R458, sadly yes.

[quote]no one believed the numerous women about Kavanaugh. You're not making any sense.

Repugs don't believe numerous woman about Kavanaugh, like Trump and Story Daniels the stripper, just put finger in ears and say La, la, la, la, la. That's why no one makes sense to you.

So, what I take from what you're saying, R460, is that you are drunk...or semi-literate.

No one believed the women who accused Kavanaugh and no one would believe Anita Hill, even today. Same shit, different year.

R458, Kavanaugh is a perfect example.

Personally, I hope he's still drinking big time every night. We need another opening.

[quote]No one believed the women who accused Kavanaugh

Except for the woman he raped. And half of congress for that matter. You really need to practice your gaslighting skills.

Kavanaugh was an out of control, drunken messy bitch. Someone with nothing to hide doesn't get that bent out of shape. Can you imagine if the current person of for the job, a black woman came into the court and acted just like he did? Screaming back at the Congress people, crying, insulting them, whining about her family? Repugs heads would explode. She would never get the job. Talk about double standard.

clarence thomas' 2022 nomination would have been withdrawn at the first whiff of sexual misconduct. Did you not hear Miss Lindsey incant the name Bill Cosby. Tuesday? No accident, though Jeffrey Epstein would have made for a more appropriate comparison since the subject was exploited minors.

Black women (and women in general) would take to the streets in opposition to clarence thomas today.

The detail that curdled my blood was when Christine Blasey Ford described how Kavanaugh slapped his hand over her mouth when she tried to scream. I just about fell over. I can't believe Republicans gave him a pass. And now he's got a LIFETIME appointment. That fuck will be making decisions for US. How safe do we feel about our rights when they clearly have an agenda to destroy ours as they have already done with women.

He has Uncle Tom Covid.

I believed Anita Hill then, and I would believe her now.

There's one person for you, R461.

That's one thing I'll never forgive Uncle Joe for, R468. I remember those hearings like they were yesterday, plus I used to show the YouTubes in my Am. Govt. classes. My (college) students always got a kick out of the "Long Dong Silver" line! And they always freaked out when I told them that they showed these hearings on live TV in the middle of the day when small children were at home. I used to say, "See? Supreme Court ratifications aren't necessarily boring!"

I voted for Joe and I'm glad he's president, but he fell on his face with that one.

Weekend at Clarence's

are the news networks reporting on this? I've only seen posts from a few journalists on twitter so far

I'd love for them to focus on Thomas' health the way there was a huge "death watch" for RBG every time she went to the hospital. Why is there less focus on this asshole while our sweet RBG's health was always under the microscope?

Since there's so much about Garland upthread, this might be germane. Frankly, I'm shocked it isn't all over DL.

Outrageous that this motherfucker, Alvin Bragg, is the DA of Manhattan. Criminals must love this guy, as crimes...big and small....are ignored and not indicted. What is he there for?? He clearly doesn't want to do his job. Shameful NYC...just shameful! ^^

Dead yet?

R419 yes you can do whatever the fuck you want which includes sounding like an idiot.

For what it’s worth, the tweet upthread that said Thomas was very ill and on a ventilator has been deleted. Looks like it was clickbait after all.

Repugs would figure out a way for his Nazi wife to replace him anyhow

Bragg, James, and Garland, for whatever their motivations, are causing harm to the judiciary and democracy by their failure to move on prosecuting DJT, some of his family, and his cronies that engaged in illegal activities.

[quote] I'd love for them to focus on Thomas' health the way there was a huge "death watch" for RBG every time she went to the hospital. Why is there less focus on this asshole while our sweet RBG's health was always under the microscope?

Because our sweet RBG had proven that she could not be trusted when it came to the status of her health and because she consistently downplayed the seriousness of her health crises. Any trip to the doctor by her could easily have been a clue that she had terminal cancer.

SCOTUSBlog: The dearth of information about Thomas’ condition is not unusual. The Supreme Court often provides relatively few details about the justices’ health, to the extent that it discloses information at all. In July 2020, for example, Chief Justice John Roberts was hospitalized overnight after a fall at a Washington-area country club near his home; the court confirmed the incident only in response to an inquiry weeks later from The Washington Post, which learned about the fall from someone who saw it.

r470, Black Catholics vote whiter than The White Heritage Foundation.

Clarence has been useful to Fascists.

[quote]Bragg, James, and Garland, for whatever their motivations

$$$dark money$$$

Just die already dammit, he needs to be dead.

Trump's doctors said he was healthy as a horse and was doing just great in the hospital with COVID.

Do you really believe a word the hospital spokesperson says?

He's got AIDS

he's dead

If it is Sepsis and they have treated him this long - if he survives this - it still will mean damage to his organs.

This happened to my mother. Somehow she survived it - and it was awful. But the doctor told us there would be damage to her organs. She was 84 and one tough lady. Up until this, she was still golfing.

But we soon learned her heart had been affected. They treated her but she passed 4 months later. The one conversation she had with me - right after the sepsis- was don't ever let me go through that again. Promise me you will give me "a pill."

Dead yet ?

Ginni Thomas, once you go black...you never go back.

Virginia Thomas urged White House chief to pursue unrelenting efforts to overturn the 2020 election

[quote] The messages – 29 in all – reveal an extraordinary pipeline between Virginia Thomas, who goes by Ginni, and President Donald Trump’s top aide during a period when Trump and his allies were vowing to go to the Supreme Court in an effort to negate the election results.

[...]

[quote] The text messages were among 2,320 that Meadows provided to the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. The content of messages between Thomas and Meadows – 21 sent by her, eight by him – has not previously been reported. They were reviewed by The Post and CBS News and then confirmed by five people who have seen the committee’s documents.

[...]

[quote] In her text messages to Meadows, Ginni Thomas spread false theories, commented on cable news segments and advocated with urgency and fervor that the president and his team take action to reverse the outcome of the election. She urged that they take a hard line with Trump staffers and congressional Republicans who had resisted arguments that the election was stolen.

[quote] In the Nov. 5 message to Meadows, Thomas went on to quote a passage that had circulated on right-wing websites: “Biden crime family & ballot fraud co-conspirators (elected officials, bureaucrats, social media censorship mongers, fake stream media reporters, etc) are being arrested & detained for ballot fraud right now & over coming days, & will be living in barges off GITMO to face military tribunals for sedition.”

Is it tinfoil hat territory to think that maybe keeping him out of sight and in a sympathetic framing is related to this?

R499, Thomas and his wife do not believe that they have done anything wrong. They've done all kinds of awful things, year after year, without ever thinking that they needed to appear "sympathetic." I don't think that they are going to start now. No, he's really sick and still in the hospital.

Bearking News:

"Virginia Thomas urged White House chief to pursue unrelenting efforts to overturn the 2020 election, texts show"

Woodward and Costas The Washington Post March 24, 2022

why hasn't the Jan 6 committee immediately subpoenaed this cunt? Don't tell me Cheney and Kinzinger will let her off the hook. Ginni is as bad as Trump

Ginni Thomas is batshit crazy. She BELIEVES in her righteousness and is dangerous. Bitch needs to be behind bars.

Wasn't Bill sprung from his bout with (what I'm assuming this shitbird has) sepsis? If he doesn't get out by tomorrow, I'm vibing his only exit is going to be the FINAL one.

OT, but Mark Meadows has the look of an old alkie (like Miss Lindsey and Frat boy Kavanaugh)--pale skin with burst blood vessels around the nose.

To be fair, I'd be a wino if I had to deal with tRump.

Maybe he's not sick. Maybe he is riding out this story somewhere and isn't still at the hospital.

Sorry I meant to say Bill was sprung right around 5 days.

I had that thought too r506

Thomas and his wife, like Bill Barr, the late Justice Scalia, and others, are true-believer reactionaries who don't think popular government or constitutional freedoms are valid as long as they undermine the power of a single, traditional church.

I don't think that the Court would lie for him, R507. It's in enough trouble as an institution.

wonder if Thomas has had to deal with a gay nurse during his hospital stay. I would pity the gay nurse

Is he dead to us yet,?

Ipod?

[quote]Ginni Thomas is batshit crazy. She BELIEVES in her righteousness and is dangerous. Bitch needs to be behind bars.

Behind the bars of an Asylum for the Criminally and Incurably Insane, R503.

Hmmm...

I'm the OP. In the last 25(?) years I've been on DL, I've started very few threads. This one might hit 600, so I'm hoping the old fuck hangs on for another day or two.

yeah the Jane Meyer article from a couple months ago on crazy cunty Ginni was a good one. She is not only despicable but very involved in pretty much all the far right wing movements. Since the Jan 6 committee has her texts they should subpoena her. I doubt she'd cooperate quietly given her public statements bashing the existence of the Jan 6 committee

R514, he could croak in the next five minutes and we’ll make sure to get this thread to 600.

Quid pro quo: deferred prosecution agreements for Ginni to Clarence's stepping down due to ill health.

You know those white, Republican elite (corporate types, country club members) gossip and frown upon the Thomas' interracial marriage. They are polite and accepting of Ginni and Clarence due to politics and the social connections, and they can feature Clarence as one of their beloved and most esteemed "happy blacks".

However, Ginni's "friends", according to revelations, are some of the most corrupt, right-wing nutcases out there.

r517 I think you're exactly right. This is like a plot on Scandal.

Quid Pro Qroak

R518 Ginni is closely affiliated with racist Bannon. I wonder if Thomas is the type who thinks he can prove to Bannon he's "an exception" and not "a typical black guy"

Thomas has to be the most self-hating black man ever.

Ginni should be hospitalized too, she sounds pathologically delusional.

[quote]In a Nov. 5 message to Meadows, Virginia Thomas quoted material that had appeared on right-wing fringe websites: “Biden crime family & ballot fraud co-conspirators (elected officials, bureaucrats, social media censorship mongers, fake stream media reporters, etc) are being arrested & detained for ballot fraud right now & over coming days, & will be living in barges off GITMO to face military tribunals for sedition.”

[quote]The texts between Thomas and Meadows stop after November 24, 2020. But the committee received another message sent on Jan. 10, 2021, four days after the mob attack on the Capitol, according to the Post and CBS.

[quote]“We are living through what feels like the end of America,” Thomas wrote to Meadows in it.

R443 - so - what do you say now about his 'sudden illness' that nobody is commenting on now that his wife's TRAITOROUS text messages to Meadows have come to light?

The very text messages Clarence Thomas, the only justice to vote to block the files from going to the Jan 6th committee.

You don't think it's awfully convenient? He needs to be impeached - it's as plain as day. He ain't sick. But he sure is shitting his pants.

The House Judiciary Committee should open up an inquiry regarding Thomas’s involvement with the traitorous activities of his wife and others. He should never have been involved in the case regarding release of those documents. The fact that he alone voted to withhold the documents from disclosure raises serious questions about his impartiality.

[quote]You know those white, Republican elite (corporate types, country club members) gossip and frown upon the Thomas' interracial marriage.

"We need to talk about Niggy-Ginny."

(R518: And that's what they call her when being polite! Imagine.)

CBS Overnight = Said Thomas is still hospitalized...But something more interesting....Ginny told Mark Meadows she was talking with her (unnamed) best friend about the election....CBS dug up video of Thomas referring to Ginny as his "best friend"---implying that Ginny was talking to CT (who would have had to rule on the case if it came to the Supreme Court)...

I can’t wait for Anita Hill to dance on his grave.

I haven't needed to use this term in years, in fact it's something only my father would have said back in his day. That woman is a crazy battlelack!

Google it.

Morning Joe just said the old troll is gonna be alright and that he is recovering.

Has Morning Joe discussed why Merrick Garland and Alvin Bragg aren't doing their jobs?

Whether he dies or not, I don't really care. I just hold out hope whatever this ailment is it will weaken him to the point that he decides it's time for him to retire. It's ludicrous that SCOTUS Justices are not forced to retire at 72.

IS HE DEAD YET?

Btw, every day you spend in a hospital exponentially increases your chance of death.

R531 concur 72 would be a good mandatory retirement age. Also maybe, enact a term limit of 20 years. Don't need the politicians trying to appoint a 25 y.o.

Why in the hell should we even have to wait for him to die when he and his cunt wife are corrupt scum? He has no business being on the fucking court. MY GOD! This is literally the shit you see in openly corrupt nations. He's presiding over cases where his fucking wife makes money aside from the fact that she's a fucking insurrectionist!This shit wouldn't be tolerated if they were Democrats! She's a terrorist leader. She is openly hostile to this nations institutions and her husband serves in one of them!

It's insane that he is allowed to be anywhere near that building.

I'm sure "friends" of the Thomases view them as useful idiots to further their own political and financial goals.

I'm also sure they make many veiled racist comments behind their backs.

It’s amazing what attractive and/or successful black men will do for fat white pussy. I wish self-respect could be bottled and sold.

That's what's so pathetic about Clarence, R537. The people with whom he keep s company or ideology are the very people he had to fight to get to where he is and he wants to empower them so that others cannot achieve what he has.

[quote] That woman is a crazy battlelack!

Battle-ax(e)?!

He's done nothing remotely impeachable yet people on Twitter are calling for his impeachment. Bitches, don't you realize it takes 2/3 of the Senate to convict.

House impeachment would only rile up the GOP base.

r541, if that is your position, then his wife needs to be indicted for Sedition.

[quote] he wants to empower them so that others cannot achieve what he has.

In his mind nobody would be able to anyway.

It's a personalized variation on the doctrine of American Exceptionalism.

The opposite is this 👇🏾, especially her answer at 17:00:

R341, he betrayed a sacred trust by being influenced on a case by his wife instead of recusing himself. Geez does a judge have to shoot someone in the street? Like Dump?

The Supreme Court has remained silent on the condition of 73-year-old Justice Clarence Thomas since it announced his hospitalization earlier this week and said he was on the mend.

The court hasn’t provided an update since Sunday and didn’t respond to multiple messages seeking comment Thursday night.

Circling the drain! 🙏🏽

[quote]He's done nothing remotely impeachable yet people on Twitter are calling for his impeachment.

Are you fucking serious? His wife has made money as an adviser on cases that have come before him. That is the very definition of corruption.

[quote]Bitches, don't you realize it takes 2/3 of the Senate to convict. House impeachment would only rile up the GOP base.

You're mixing up two things. What he and his wife have done IS impeachable and we know the GOP being the corrupt parasites that they are, wouldn't allow conviction, but that doesn't mean what he did isn't impeachable. WTF do you think is considered impeachable for a justice if not their spouse literally profiting from the cases that come before them? Jesus Christ.

R530 I can only take small doses of Morning Joe so I only watched it for like 10 minutes when they discussed crazy Ginni! That was depressing enough for me to change the channel immediately afterwards.

Joe mentioned (during the Ginni Thomas coverage) that Mark Meadows told Ginni that efforts to get Trump back in to the White House was a battle between good and evil and he was praying for Trump to get back in. Joe called Meadows a bad guy and said "of course he will get away with it as does everyone in the Trump administration."

Despite claiming to be an Independent, Joe is still a Republican piece of shit and they don't really care about democracy and fairness so he probably thinks Merrick Garland and Alvin Bragg are doing a fine job. I've never heard Joe directly criticize Garland or Bragg. IF he ever did, I'm sure it would have been just a speed bump on his way to criticizing Democrats... AGAIN! That of course is his daily mantra.

[quote]It’s amazing what attractive and/or successful black men will do for fat white pussy.

I' am not fat.

[quote]good and evil

How fucked up must you be to think Trump is anything "good"? He embodies every vile quality a human could have and nothing else. Not a good husband, nor father, nor friend, nor businessman, nor uncle, nor son. Vile, selfish, repugnant pile of shit who wouldn't so much as offer you the sweat off his diet coke if you were dying of thirst.

Clarence, get better, we miss you!

Sincerely, The E Street Band

R530 Morning Joe at least needs to ask serious questions about Garland, Bragg, James, and Fani Willis, regarding their investigative progresss, and the status of potential indictments. Have expert guests directly familiar with these situations if they can be booked to speak.

I am frustrated with the timid, lazy, and ineptness shown by prosecutors on the federal and state/local levels that are suppose to be working on all this corruption.

Democratic politicians are largely silent about this outside the 1/06 committee. Trump, his older offspring, and his prime cronies will get away with everything.

Sad situation. Democrats and democracy will suffer.

Clarence Thomas just released from the hospital!

Alive, no doubt.

Since r553 didn't provide a link.

Do I win anything if they release the cause of his stay as sepsis?

Sent home to die in Ginni's Home Hospice palliative arms?

He won’t be recusing himself from any cases. You can bet on it. It’ll be up to Roberts now, to avoid any and all cases that might present a conflict of interest not just for Thomas but for his piece of shit wife.

This is the moral morass in which we find ourselves, folks.

WHY ISN'T HE DEAD YET!!!

His body was released by the hospital to the family.

Let Ginni get raped by ghetto black men while he watches in his death bed!! 2 neo-Nazis who deserve it!!

Hope he dies painfully at home. AMEN!

Supposedly, I heard on The View...he was just released from the hospital.

[quote] It’ll be up to Roberts now, to avoid any and all cases that might present a conflict of interest not just for Thomas but for his piece of shit wife.

That’s not how this works. Roberts has a few prerogatives as the Chief Justice and this isn’t one of them; he still only gets one vote. He alone can’t determine what cases, if any, come before the Court. The Justices all vote on which cases they will hear. Nor can he force Thomas to recuse himself. For Supreme Court Justices the sole remedy for misconduct (that does not otherwise rise to the level of a criminal violation) is impeachment.

Wishing him a well and speedy recovery.

Lifetime appointments need to go, they're completely outdated. The Supreme Court was founded in 1789. What was the average life expectancy in fucking 1789?

Maybe he went home to die?

[quote] Lifetime appointments need to go, they're completely outdated. The Supreme Court was founded in 1789. What was the average life expectancy in fucking 1789?

Maybe someone can explain clearer, but I seem to recall that the rationalization for setting that standard was that landowners and squires in our early history didn't seek out office until their late 30s/early 40's and life expectancy for them was about age 52.

Which is roughly two Senate terms (12 years).

Roberts needed to be outed years ago. Enough pretending is enough.

The whole thing was a PR scheme to protect him/them from the press and his peers. Feeling weak and achy are "flu like symptoms". Don't harass the soon-I-hope widow. Why are liberals so mean?

R570, that would not surprise me at all. The only reason that wouldn’t happen is that I think he’s truly too stupid to think of that.

He's been released. Damn.

[quote]Maybe someone can explain clearer, but I seem to recall that the rationalization for setting that standard was that landowners and squires in our early history didn't seek out office until their late 30s/early 40's and life expectancy for them was about age 52.

There's a common misunderstanding of historic life expectancy. Many, many, many more infants and children died young in those days but once you got to adulthood, plenty of people lived into their 70s and 80s. The numbers are just skewed because of the high youth death rate.

In the 1790s and early 1800s, I believe, there were fewer justice on the Court and fewer cases before the Court. The justices had a lot more time for circuit court cases and for doing whatever else it was that they did in their lives. There was a greater turnover, with justices stepping down to run for some office or other, or just because they got tired of the job. And some of them would drop dead of smallpox or whatever.

It was uncommon for people to live that long back then r573. Yes it happened but most people died at younger ages. Go to any cemetery from the period and look at the gravestones.

R568, the rationalization for lifetime appointments is that it removes the threat of perpetual political pressure.

And there have been a number of cases in which “hard right” conservative justices took a sharp leftward turn after securing a seat on the bench. Chief Justice Earl Warren is the most famous example.

I forgot "brother." Trump was an awful brother, too. His brother was the reason his stupid ass even got into Wharton and he repaid his brother by fucking over Mary Trump and her brother.

Actually not, R118. They always feign remorse and claim they know now how wrong it is now. Then they often claim some depression or other faux symptoms that they then say tearfully they overcame. Someone will have trained Marsha to do that by now.

I'm glad she is getting the attention now. She has always seemed like one of the dumbest people ever to hold public office. If not for her looks, she never would have been elected and it pains me to say that about a woman.

I doubt that, R537. Ginni Thomas has a lot of power among conservatives. Read the Jane Mayer article in January's New Yorker. She is well-respected and with Thomas on SCOTUS holding the views he does, he is respected by them as well. He has shown he is willing to do what it takes, which is what they all want. They are more than willing to have women and minorities on their side when they hold similar values and contribute advancement to the cause.

R575, you are just wrong. The least you could do is read the provided link before being wrong.

Garrett Haake just reported on NBC Evening News that Clarence Thomas has been released from the hospital.

Well, better to report it late than never, I guess.

Does this mean Garrett Haake is worse than Hitler?

That creepy bitch Ginni Thomas is against affirmative action, yet, isn't that how this horrible woman's husband got his job?!

2 weeks ago------>>>> "Thomas — who railed against the idea of expanding the number of justices on the court, which could dilute conservative justices’ power — did not express concern about right-wing influence in the court. He complained instead about the so-called “cancel culture”...........Again---Republicans victimizing themselves. Stealing Supreme Court seats are fine. The "cancel culture" (slang for the Left) is the problem?...FU

Ginni Thomas = Net worth 78 MILLION DOLLARS!!! (LINK).....Gee. She was broke in 1991 when CT was nominated in 1991. Now she "miraculously" makes TEN MILLION A YEAR....WTF!!

Morning Joe called her out on this, saying she was a respected leader in the conservative wing of the Republican party. How she's ruined the brand, bla, bla, bla. But that fucker Joe was ALSO a member of the Republican party until recently, he played along for decades. So NO JOE" WE" were not surprised, she's always been a wack job, that's all on you and your inability to see it or call it out for over 30 years!

Scarborough is such a charlatan. I could have sworn he jumped ship pre-Trump, but I just looked it up and he was a Republican all the way until 2017 ... and the middle of 2017 at that? He's like Red Pill Black, but only in reverse. People need to stop watching his show.

Does Clarence have the dia-beetus? Those two look like they could tear up a Hometown Buffet.

Long Dong was shoe-horned into the SCOTUS on the condition he always promote Rethuglian values. And he has done that dutifully for 30 years.

The media is reporting he was released from the hospital— so sadly he’s not dead yet

Well, not to be a TV MD, but on Chicago Med, a crazy lady with MRSA was released to home with an oral prescription for antibiotics. A SIX WEEK COURSE.

This story isn't over until he either shows up to work fit as a fiddle or he is incapacitated again and dies.

Team Reaper!

Well I wanted to get this thread to 600 but it doesn't look like it's going to make it. But 594 is pretty good.
