As Clarence Thomas hits a milestone, his conservative stamp on the U.S. Supreme Court endures

Thomas has ⁠supported religious liberty, the death penalty and broad presidential powers, and has opposed gay marriage, affirmative action and campaign-finance reform.

The supreme court’s voting rights decision wasn’t about law – it was about politics

This court has impaled one of the most important laws in American history, with disastrous consequences for multiracial democracy

Today the Roberts Court spits on graves of hundreds of thousands who died for the idea that black people are people.
The Civil War really was a thing.
But Uncle #ClarenceThomas won't be happy until he can't vote.
