Right now, extremists, who want power and control over people, are in control of the Supreme Court. It was set up for them to be in control and they will push through overturning Roe v Wade, overturning Civil Rights, overturning LGBT rights, overturning marriage equality, etc, even push through denying women birth control, which, from what I’m hearing is next. It’s not right, but that’s what the Religious Reich, a cult that’s grown strong, want. They financially backed all of this crap. How they got the money, I have no idea. ---

> [@citizenschallengev4](#): > > Is there any other rationale behind condemning birth control , beyond perhaps forcing women into becoming baby-making machines for impotent evangelicals? No, there is no rational, except prior to the '60s, it was illegal, unless she was married and had her husband’s permission. The other “rational” is the Catholic view of “every sperm is sacred” and Hobby Lobby’s Fundamngelical lawsuit against it for their female employees. Of course none of it is rational, but they think it is. ---

Informative article, thanks for sharing. > . . . In his 2007 autobiography, “My Grandfather’s Son,” the bitter grudge that he holds against those who tried to dump his confirmation was on naked and brutal display. He showed no sign of budging a step from the never-ending public and private war he’s waged against civil rights leaders and liberal Democrats. He branded them the “liberal mob” and griped that they had one goal: to “keep the black man in his place.” The black man, of course, is Thomas. > > The other theme that courses through Thomas’s need for payback is his obsessive view of himself as the perennial martyr. In an American Enterprise Institute lecture in 2001, he wrapped himself in the martyr’s garment and said that he expected to be treated badly for challenging liberal opinion. A decade later, in a talk to the ultra-conservative Federalist Society, he vented that persecution complex again when he said that unnamed critics “seem bent on undermining” the Supreme Court. He meant one justice on the court, himself. > > Thomas’s mean-spirited and vindictive views and legal opinions on the death penalty, age and gender bias, First Amendment, prisoner rights and affirmative action cases were well known by the time he hit the court in 1991. It could hardly be said even then that he latched on to judicial conservatism solely to curry favor with white conservatives to snatch a seat on the high court. He proved this again when he bought into Trump’s vote-fraud-lie in the Pennsylvania case. He actually believes what he says and writes in his nutty dissents, even when others ridicule him deservedly for them. But then again, it’s just Thomas getting even. ---

What I find most objectionable is that Thomas as a senior judge of SCOTUS, pleaded ignorance of the law, when told that he was supposed to declare gifts larger than $100.00 He liked the idea that he could fly on private jets and travel on super yachts without having to declare the approximate value of such little jaunts. > The investigative nonprofit news outlet reports that Thomas’ 2019 trip island hopping in Indonesia with a chartered plane and a superyacht—owned by Crow—would have cost Thomas **more than half a million dollars** if he’d paid for it. As a public servant, Thomas has an annual salary of $285,000.Apr 8, 2023 > Time Magazine # Letter: Ignorance of law no excuse > In defense of his accepting expensive trips (aka “a bribe”), which is a clear violation of the law for a person in his position, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas claims that “he was told trips didn’t need disclosure.” > In other words, a Supreme Court justice is admitting that he is ignorant of the law. Given that “ignorance of the law” is a fundamental legal principle in the U.S., why is Justice Thomas claiming that he did not know what he was doing was against the law? Maybe he was absent on the day that his law professor lectured on that point. > [Letter: Ignorance of law no excuse - The Columbian](https://www.columbian.com/news/2023/apr/12/letter-ignorance-of-law-no-excuse/) I am astounded that a person who holds a lifetime position on the highest court in the land, even dared admit his ignorance of the law.
