The one who may not have gotten his seat at all if it wasn’t for progress, blasts progress.
Clarence “Steven Candie” Thomas, raper of Anita Hill…
The asswipe fails to realize the progressives are the ones who allowed women and minorities to occupy a SCOTUS seat.
Fuck you Clarence Thomas.
Someone should blast Clarence Thomas for being an actual threat to America
…in Minecraft
Can’t he just take his RV quietly into the night!?
Okay! Let’s turn back the time to where he would have been a slave.
That face says “it’s my turn now.”
I think every American who comes across this article should read the whole thing. It’s not long, and any reasonable person with a high school education will see he’s talking nonsense.
Here are a few choice quotes and responses
Progressivism seeks to replace the basic premises of the Declaration of Independence and hence our form of government
Our form of government’s most basic premise is that it changes if people vote to change it. They can literally change everything about it.
A spirit of “cynicism, rejection, hostility and animus” toward America – by Americans – has taken hold, Thomas said in remarks carried live on CSPAN.
The founding fathers literally started a war of rebellion against their government. That’s what that Declaration of Independence that Thomas mentioned was all about.
He said that the values enshrined in the 1776 Declaration of Independence have “fallen out of favor” among Americans – a trend perpetrated, he argued, by “intellectuals” and the nation’s colleges and universities.
Those values aren’t “enshrined”. They’re not even backed by the laws that our founding fathers ratified.
Thomas called on Americans to stand up for their principles and endure personal “sacrifices,” if necessary, to preserve the nation’s democracy.
“In my view, we must find in ourselves that same level of courage that the signers of the Declaration have so that we can do for our future what they did for theirs,” he said.
Those people, with that document, started a war of rebellion against their government. They were willing to sacrifice their lives to rid themselves of tyranny. How can Thomas reference this and come to the exact opposite conclusion?
And to “preserve our democracy” can only mean one thing. To ensure that the will of the people becomes the law of the land without violating the Constitution or the rights given by it.
Anyone who wants to preserve our democracy has to be viciously opposed to Donald Trump, who’s been trying to oppose the will of the American people and the Constitution.
Every time an erudite conservative throws out “animus” as a negative trait, I grow another pineal gland.
The biggest violations of the constitution are in due process and illegal search from ice. Like the biggest to me in all of history really. They are not one offs but part of an executive administrations policy.
Of course, it’s completely subjective what is the biggest violation. The constitution itself doesn’t really make any distinction between which violation is worse, unless I am misremembering something.
If you’re offended by a lack of due process and racism and that sort of thing, you might also find the Internment of Japanese Americans during WW2 similarly offensive. 2/3 of them were US citizens whose only “crime” was being ethnically Japanese. Or the infamous Trail of Tears.
Thomas also said he believes many people no longer believe “all men are created equal” and deserving of “unalienable rights” protected by a limited government.
No, progressives actually believe we are all equal and that we possess inalienable rights. He’s saying that we believe rights come from the government, but no, we believe the government must be forced to acknowledge and enforce our rights and to never treat certain groups as lesser.
We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness—-That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
It’s wild that he’s referencing this document in opposition to those seeking to alter or abolish their government - believing it has become destructive of our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness - in order to make it more likely to effect their safety and happiness. Progressives are acting in the spirit of those values which saw the American revolution take place by acting perfectly in line with what the Declaration of Independence clearly states is our right.
Progressives are acting in the spirit of those values which saw the American revolution take place by acting perfectly in line with what the Declaration of Independence clearly states is our right.
Eh, acting in line with the Declaration of Independence would require most of Congress to be hanged from the nearest tree or put on a boat to England.
Which of those values include giving corporations “personhood”?
No relation…
First, fuck Thompson with a pineapple.
Second, before anyone points out the irony of doing this speech at the university of Texas, which is often considered a liberal University in liberal Austin, TX, their law program is extremely conservative with a large Federalist Society presence. Additionally, the Texas legislature installed an army of extremely conservative appointees at all levels of the UT system, so it’s getting such an extreme conservative overhaul that the NYTimes wrote an article on it

ICE raids on our cities came from which side of the aisle?
These people do not fear the public nearly enough
A black man, repeat, BLACK MAN, is saying that progresivism is bad?
Does this idiot even know that the reason why he can have that job is because progresivism gave black people rights?
Fuck! We keep seeing studies linking low intellect with conservatism and we keep seeing imbeciles willing to prove them right…
Look into his past, he was against interracial marriage until his own.
“Fuck you, got mine”
He has that job because he was purchased long ago.
He was a former Monsanto lawyer who never recused himself from any case involving them and always ruled in their favor.
Corrupt judges are one of the biggest threats to America.
Fecking Dems just don’t understand that these are the best. Just give a couple of them a yacht, cases of their favorite whisky or whatever, just find out what tickles their fancy, and they are yours.
