It was from a discussion from Rep. Jose Serrano (D-NY) and Thomas about putting Sotomayor on the Supremes. Thomas makes a comment about Puerto Rican immigrants wanting judgeship not having to answer to being born in the US... Serrano says oh really, you haven’t answered if I have to to serve as president and Thomas laughs and says no, “we’re evading that.” Not quotes but the general words. Thomas used the word, “evading”.

Bottom line, it’s a gottcha moment. Thomas admits they don’t want to touch it. Sorry, sorry, thing. Thomas just put himself on my list.

‘Evading’ was the word he used...my bad.Thanks for taking the time to listen to it.

I didn’t take it to mean that Thomas is in favor of ‘evading’ the issue, but that the ‘majority’ is...for what-ever reason. Hell...everyone in positions of power in this country is ‘evading’ this question! I don’t blame Thomas. He was speaking the truth and it took courage to even bring it up. He was, after all, speaking to the congressional clowns that hold the purse strings for the court.

Hmm, maybe admitting that they are aware of the situation and hopefully one of these days they will have to address it? I can’t believe that Justice Thomas or some of the others would purposedly avoid this.

Waiting for the right case/time, maybe, I hope.
