@MariaHill @MJ Apparently no one had been really convinced of Clarence Thomas's judicial qualifications already at the time of his nomination in 1991.
"...
Anticipating that the ABA [American Bar Association] would rate Thomas poorly, the [G.H.W. Bush] White House and Republican Senators pressured the ABA for at least the mid-level "qualified" rating, and simultaneously attempted to discredit the ABA as partisan.
..."
ABA committee majority awarded Thomas a frosty & sobering "qualified".

— 7:7 in the Senate Judiciary Committee on motion to report favorably
— 13:1 in the Senate Judiciary Committee on a motion to report without recommendation
— Senate confirmation vote: 52:48

Note: Leonard Leo's Federalist Society had been founded only 9 years before Thomas's SCOTUS-nomination, as the self-proclaimed right-of-center antithesis to allegedly "liberal" ABA.

@RepDonBeyer Abraham Lincoln wouldn't have liked, what's done in the name of his former Republican Party today by insurrectionary rebels to female servicemembers & women in America in general, just to demonstrate "Power over Life".

@BrennanCenter Allegedly, the primary goal of life tenure is to insulate the public official(s) from external pressure.
Whereas that evidently does not preclude the likelihood, that some public officials frankly do not wish to resist external pressure, if it's combined with luxurious amenities, monetary recovery & ideological/partisan compatibility.

@drskyskull If only Leonard Leo's Federalist-Society SCOTUS agents could for once feel, how much the Founders despised corruption, bribery & other high crimes & misdemeanors committed by public officials.

@BigAngBlack Good to know, that large numbers of judges are loyal the United States Constitution, especially also the Reconstruction Amendments.

To be very clear: Every attack on SCOTUS decisions based on the Fourteenth Amendment, Equal Protection-, Due Process- & other 14A clauses
is an attack on the Fourteenth Amendment itself & the other Reconstruction Amendments 13 & 15, added to the Constitution in the wake of the Civil War & abolition of slavery.

@fawfulfan With their attacks on the Reconstruction Amendments, especially the Fourteenth Amendment, Leonard Leo's SCOTUS agents are doing the Confederacy's bidding, continuing, where Jan 6 ended.
They don't deserve to be on SCOTUS's bench.

Roe v. Wade (abortion rights): Decision based on the 14th Amendment

Obergefell v. Hodges (same-sex marriage): Decision based on the 14th Amendment

Griswold v. Connecticut (birth control): Decision based on the 14th Amendment

Loving v. Virginia (freedom to marry, regardless of race): Decision based on the 14th Amendment

Lawrence v. Texas (intercourse between same-sex,partners): Decision based on the 14th Amendment

and more...
