DERSHOWITZ Describes Clarence THOMAS as a Mr Stupidhead
He and Jack FORD were discussing whether ROBERTS might open up the court to live cameras. DERSHOWITZ started in on how cameras might impact the behavior of the justices.

He said, "Clarence THOMAS just might have to do ONE SHREAD of PREPARATION--------AND-------ask a single question-----AND---(something-something about an INTELLIGENT question). And cameras might show SCALIA being a BULLY about trying to get litigants to negotiate away their rights. AND cameras would show how UTTERLY INCOMPENTENT many lawyers are who argue before the court." His throwaway joke was that the only downside to cameras in the O.J. trial was that they made the lawyers dress better.

Yeah-yeah, he's Mr Torture, but the truth is so rare the source sometimes has to be put up with.
