Reply #16: SO EFFIN' WHAT??? [View All]

[Celtic Merlin]

Last I checked (10 minutes ago), alcohol was still legal in this country and porn was still legal in this country and the use of either or both (individually or together) doesn't disqualify ANYBODY from holding a seat on the SCOTUS.

So, "Justice Clarence Thomas was a binge drinker, porn user" in your indictment-style use in the title is hyperbole - pure hyperbole.

Would you rather the guy was some kind of evangelical fundie campaigner AGAINST those things? Maybe that kind of stupidity goes over well in the Bush Home State of Texas, but most of the rest of the people in the USA want those things to be KEPT legal. Check out the 18th and especially the 21st Amendments to the Constitution of the United States of America.

Clarence Thomas is an ass - and quite an ass he is. Unqualified to sit in that SCOTUS seat? Of course. Incurious follower of Scalia and Alito? Yes. Useless blob of putty as a Jurist? You bet.

A bad guy because he used to (and may still) drink and watch people banging on film?
NO . EFFIN' . WAY ! ! !

P.S. : What's the website policy on swearing in messages? Where might I find that? I tend to be quite free with my language, but I don't wanna run way afoul of the rules, hence "effin' " instead of my preferred "fuckin' " - especially in the Message Subject.
