CHIEF JUSTICE THOMAS?

[MaryH]

I've been seeing bits and pieces on this for a while now. Clarence Thomas as Chief Justice.

I think the man is a slimeball and why on earth would he be Chief Justice over Stevens? I guess I just don't understand.

And then we will have Jack Danforth as Secretary of State. Won't that be just peachy?

1. He'll be Chief Justice so that Bush can further court black voters nt

[MaryH]

2. I don't think black voters care all that much for him

He's kind of an anti black movement person.

The guy's been accused as a sex offender. He and Arnold will probably just love each other.

5. Pubic hair on a Coke can, anyone?

:evilgrin:

8. No, they don't

Unfairly or not, "Clarence Thomas" is just another phrase for "Uncle Tom" to a lot of black people. That might be a little harsh as far as THIS black person is concerned, but he, like Condoleeza Rice (who I cannot stand for a variety of reasons) is quite the opportunist. He figured out which side his bread would get better buttered on and grabbed a knife.

But seriously? Chief Justice? I am SO moving. Whaddya think? England or Italy?

3. Chief Justice Clarence Thomas. You've got to admit, it's got a

ring to it. I say fine. He's the perfect symbol of "justice," BushAmerica style.

Let the farce begin!

4. Don't even TYPE THAT!

10. ppp

6. Has Thomas asked one question since he's been on the bench?

Thomas is living proof that anyone can be a Supreme Court Justice. He's about to extend that evidence of acceptable incompetence to the Chief Justice position.

I recall an interview students had with him, asking Thomas why he never spoke. He said it was because he spoke Gullah dialect as a child and so was self-conscious about his speech. Is Thomas from SC? The island of St. Helena, to be exact? Difficult to believe.

7. Accckkk!

I shudder to think...

Better than Chief Justic Scalia?

[AngryLizard]

11. OMG! Bush would be just arrogant enough

to make Scalia Chief Justice. Bend over and brace yourself.

[neener3]

13. Thomas is 12 years younger than Scalia..

NUFF SAID ????

[immoderate]

9. I don't think he can be confirmed

No record of leadership on the court. I don't think he has authored many decisions. Bush will want more of a hot shot. IMHO

12. Scalia. I bet they're thinking Scalia

OMG. Here come the nightmares.

14. Rhenquist was confirmed

and he voted against Roe V Wade !!!

15. Bill Press: The return of Long Dong Silver

WASHINGTON (Tribune Media Services) -- Ten years ago, after calling Anita Hill a liar, Clarence Thomas was confirmed to the Supreme Court. Ten years later, we finally learn that Clarence Thomas was lying -- and Anita Hill was telling the truth.

The truth about Thomas’s lies is told in David Brock’s new book, “Blinded by the Right," due out in September. This month’s issue of “Talk” magazine features a long excerpt. It recounts Brock’s ethical struggles as a writer. But, more importantly, it provides valuable insight into how the powerful right-wing media machine twists and dominates the news.

Brock’s the perfect man to expose Thomas’ lies, because he’s the one who spread them. As a darling, young acolyte of the conservative right, Brock was recruited by the "American Spectator" magazine in October of 1991 to write a feature article denouncing Hill and rehabilitating the badly-wounded Thomas.

Senate confirmation hearings had left Thomas a new, but disgraced, member of the court. In her testimony, Hill calmly told Senators how her then-boss Thomas exploited and harassed female workers. He told dirty jokes. He graphically described pornographic videos he had rented, including the now-famous “Long Dong Silver.” Perhaps inspired by “Long Dong”, he bragged about the size of his own penis. He begged for dates. He even accused Hill of leaving pubic hairs on his can of Coca-Cola. Nice guy. More.........

16. Did he offer a cigar?

Which is worse. A pubic hair on a coke can or a splash of DNA on a gap dress?

That's what we will be told.
