Justice #ClarenceThomas changed his mind on an issue that’s very important to Harlan Crow and Leonard Leo—one that’s before the #SupremeCourt right now. #SCOTUS

Clarence Thomas Reversed Position After Gifts And Family Payments

The Supreme Court justice switched sides on a landmark legal doctrine, satisfying his benefactors’ conservative advocacy machine.

@GottaLaff Now I wonder about the 10 years Thomas sat silent on the Court and why he broke his long silence only after trump was elected.
@JJPeterson @GottaLaff
Trump paved the way for ignorant people to feel free to speak their minds.
@GreenFire I think that's too broad. A lot of very good people are ignorant. He paved the way for racists and fascists to speak out loud and flaunt their racism and fascism. @JJPeterson
@GottaLaff @JJPeterson
I think that Clarence Thomas was too embarrassed to show his ignorance until Trump paved the way for him, but yes he certainly seems to be a fascist racist too.
@GottaLaff
In more news for the #BothSidesAreBad people, Justice Kagan turned down free bagels from her friends that she knew prior to getting confirmed to SCOTUS because she knew that was a bad thing to do. #CokeCan and Chief Justice Roberts accepted millions dollars worth of "gifts" from people with business before the court.

@GottaLaff

I think the article is misleading.

Thomas’s own writings describe how the situation changed over time, how appeals to deference have grown bolder than expected, so given that new evidence, he’s been clear that he thinks the new environment is off-course.

In a way it’s not that he changed his mind on an issue, but that the legal system changed, leaving him feeling the need to address the new ways that the federal government is functioning.

There’s nothing scandalous about that.

@volkris You often come to the defense of really bad people. Please don't do that in my timeline. Blocking.
