NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
We don’t need an election.
We need a coup.
Hillary Clinton should be able to appoint all nine justices without a shred of danger to out rights. That this is not so is (not necessarily) an argument for voting for the Republican candidate - it's an argument for action to reduce the powers exercised by that court, peacefully if possible.
The exercise of such power that the fate of the nation hangs on a single justice means that the coup has already taken place, and that it may be necessary someday to take action to restore what has been lost.
If Clarence Thomas IS actually contemplating retirement he should get together with President Trump and help in the selection of his replacement. He should also help find proper constitutionalists for other spots that may open up.
It’s too bad we don’t have a Chief Justice who will make lives miserable for the lesbians and that old crow who squat on the bench.
Regardless of who wins in November I predict that by the end of their term the Supreme Court will be down to three Justices and six vacancies.
Thomas writes the tightest opinions of any Justice on the Court. No fluff, flowery prose or platitudes masquerading as jurisprudence. Just facts, law, application, legal reasoning and conclusion. He will be greatly missed.
He should wait till on or after January 20, 2017 to announce his retirement, not earlier - especially if Trump wins. Don’t give Obama any chance to fill his vacant seat!!!
Retiring or told to step down now and you’ll receive your pension and get a fat bonus. That or take the pillow method out.
One can hardly blame Justice Thomas for retiring. If America elects someone who supports the Constitution, then his replacement will be a conservative.
If America elects a commie/Muslim, the day of lawful dispute is over and the only question will be when the 4th Generation warfare begins.
At that point, his presence on SCOTUS will not matter as much.
May his retirement be all that he wishes.
Yeah....”We’ll show you....” NeverTrump
The choice could not be more clear America.
Elect Hillary and the country disappears forever down a Socialist black hole.
If Hillary wins things may escalate quickly. A sure-fire way to identify the “dangerous terrorists” will be to rapidly progress to transactions involving embedded chip technology, all in the name of “scientific advancement.”
No chip? No gun sale. Easy peasy with a liberal SC.
Everybody still wanting the Clintoons to pick the next three “judges”? One will be Obonzo for sure.
I have seen lots of other articles saying there is no truth to this.
