AOC Renews Calls For Clarence Thomas To Resign From SCOTUS, This Time Over Luxury Gifts From GOP Megadonor - TPM – Talking Points Memo

  • Stood on the shoulders of giants

  • Took the rewards and opportunities made possible by those giants

  • Kicked aside and shunned those who came after him

  • The most damaging person given to us by Poppy Bush

It was the beginning of the end of a court with integrity. Sadly, we also have to thank Ted Kennedy for sitting on his hands (his nephew was in the middle of a rape trial, as I recall and Ted was there when it happened) and … Biden. That confirmation hearing was an abomination.

I agonize over McConnell’s stealing Scalia’s seat from Obama and RBG’s decision to not retire while Barack was still POTUS.

A world of Difference

Thomas should have never gotten the robes in the first place. And, he will never leave the position, unless he is dragged down the stairs. Not because of his color, but because of his character. He showed us all who he was during his Supreme Court confirmation hearings, led by then-Senator Joe Biden, and how he responded to accusations of sexual harassment from Anita Hill.

Who has the cojones and the will to take him down now, if not in the past 30 years of serving on the Court, or the over 20 years he has been taking junkets with Ultra-rich Rethuglican donor(s), or the clear ethics violations of his spouse in her attempt to overthrow the election of the latest duly-elected President of the U.S.?

AOC! Bless her, and all the women (and men) who speak up to corruption, who do the things that all of us should be demanding, and doing.

Impeachment is an easy vote, but he’s not getting convicted.

We simply can’t add justices because Tip and Ron are going to have a beer and solve all our problems.

Yes, indeed he needs to resign.

AOC is great, I just wish ALL congresspersons would demand the same. One is not enough.

The rich GOP donor should take Clarence to the same cabin where Scalia spent his last night. I’m not wishing any harm…

It should be John Roberts calling for his resignation, but I am not going to hold my breath.

Someone needs to buy him an all expense paid trip to hell. That ought to solve this problem as he’ll never return. Ginny’s welcome to follow him, along with the Handmaiden, Angry Beer Guy, Fascism Forever fanboi, and Sad Sammy.

Agreed! That’s where AOC should be directing her pressure! And the Dem Senate, as well!

Never forget the Republicans who attempted the downfall of American democracy!

Notice Crow is a Texas Billionaire. How is it the worst in America, with a few exceptions, always seem to come from Texas? Can we give Texas back to Mexico?

So now we know why the modern SCOTUS has spent years assiduously working to completely neuter the very concept of “public corruption.”
