Summary
Clarence Thomas criticized the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals for ignoring Supreme Court precedent in a case involving David Smith, convicted of attempted murder, whose sentence was overturned due to procedural concerns.
Thomas argued the court violated the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act by re-evaluating evidence rather than deferring to previous rulings.
Critics highlighted Thomas’s hypocrisy, noting his role in overturning Roe v. Wade in 2022, disregarding decades of precedent and leading to abortion bans in over 20 states.
Leopard’s case?
Fucking Handkerchief head
Yeah? So who’s going to do anything about it?
Corruption just keeps on working without consequence.
400 million temporarily embarrassed swindlers.
I think it’s safe to say Americans are now permanently embarrassed.
He’s upset they followed his precedent.
A SCOTUS member accepting bribes should come with the death penalty
Cold-ass response. Imagine you’re the dude and were reading along here and maybe for the first time realizing that people don’t like you specifically for your actions.
lol
And not a painless one. I’m thinking the thing they did to highway thieves.
We can just botch a lethal injection.
Still seems to good for that
So a typical lethal injection?
Actual tar and feather.
Slow cooking death.
Slowly dipped in a vat of acid foot-first.
How about 4 racehorses facing outwards at an intersection, tied to his arms and legs, and fire a starting gun?
Nah, that’s too old fashioned and could hurt a horse. Four cybertrucks. Nobody cares if they get fucked up.
Nah, that could hurt the spectators. Maybe four sisyphuses?
Too much effort, heres one my 2x great grandfather cooked up. Remove their legs and force them to crawl along the 15 all the way to Vegas during the peak of summer. Mind you it was in the context of the Seventh day Adventists and he used route 66 instead but this idea predates the interstste so im modernizing.
Am I wrong, or is he just signaling to allies how he will rule if this reaches the Supreme Court…?
Was there ever a question?
Clarence Thomas is a bribe accepting crooked hypocrite who falls to pieces the second the doesn’t get what he wants. How is this news? I thought everyone knew that already?
He can fuck off and die. Painfully, publicly, soon, and slowly.
Nah, he can live until the current nightmare is over, then he can fuck off and die.
He’s part of the nightmare though. Only after he’s gone would it be over.
Yeah, but Trump will find like a 20yo that’s somehow worse if he gets to pick a replacement.
Which would continue the nightmare, making that person necessary to be gone too in order to make it passed the nightmare.
He will retire in the next 4 years and Trump will appoint a 20 yo to the supreme court
It’s gonna be Aileen Cannon. She’s already proven that her only judicial competencies are complete deference and fealty to trump and disdain for impartiality and procedure, which are the only qualifications they’re looking for.
That would be by far the worst outcome.
Justice Barron Trump.
Nooooooooo
Is our princess in another castle?
Can some of these old people please, fucking die already!
Shush. We don’t want that happening right now. Old Uncle Tom is somehow not the worst it could get.
He’s not the only one I’m talking about. The U.S. is run by the worse retirement home I have ever seen.
Send help. Grandpa is fucking crazy and he is waving a gun around.
Cant im reinforcing myself in the basement, you can join me if ya wish but if you touch my sandwich makings im taking your hand.
Clarance respectfully go fuck yourself.
Removed by mod
He can disrespectfully fuck himself, too.
With a very rusty pitchfork.
Rusty Trident 🔱? Don’t knock Aquaman.
Right in the ear.
And since you ignore precedent, take a step back, and fuck yourself again.
I’ve been waiting for this particular bit of brazen hypocrisy.
By ignoring precedent in order to issue rulings clearly intended to establish precedents, the wholly corrupt and compromised SC effectively guaranteed that sooner or later, they’d have to do this.
Outside of the warped context of a corrupt and compromised court, it’s actually very simple:
Either precedent matters, in which case their Roe ruling, their gratuity ruling, their immunity ruling and a number of others are self-evidently flawed, or precedent doesn’t matter, in which case no other court has any duty to consider anything the SC does.
One or the other.
They have no intention of being consistent, or uphold the law; it can be both They will soon start shoving their political opponents in jail too.
Not to mention Chevron deference. Thomas can get wrecked.
Precedent died in 2016. It means less than nothing now.
You can never tell with Thomas if he’s been bribed in advance or is soliciting a gratuity.
Usually it’s both
