I salute you, Judge Thomas. Thank you!

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Absolutely...The originalist mantle has been passed.

What gives me confidence is that C. Thomas recognizes EXACTLY what has happened with the passing of Alito.

HISTORY shall out!

I fully believe that SCOTUS-Judge C. Thomas understands and believes this; this is why he has become “vocal” since the passing of Alito.

IF liberals are all about celebrating diversity and all that, and like to see members of minority groups achieve high positions, then why the did liberals seek to destroy Judge Thomas when he was nominated to the Supreme Court? Why wasn’t that racist and bigoted of them to try to destroy a black man, if we’re supposed to revere members of minority populations????

sadly, I suspect even the most excellent points he raised will be completely disregarded. If you read the transcript, after Justice Thomas' questions, Justice Breyer lays out how they'll avoid the entire issue...

JUSTICE BREYER: Stop you at the first point. Your argument on the first point is that she did not raise the constitutional question. She said in order to avoid a constitutional question, we should decide it in thus such and such a way.

So one answer would be, well, maybe so. We aren't facing the constitutional question. We are simply facing the question of what Congress intended. And if this does raise a constitutional question, so be it. And then there will, in a future case, come up with that question. So we ­­ or our point is, we don't have to decide that here.

So, in order to avoid having to actually follow the Constitution, they'll punt, and force someone to spend the years that it takes to get yet another case to the court.
