When I first read this I assumed it was a fake story (itâs way too good to be true) but considered the possibility that he was leaking this news to scare Republicans into voting - itâs the exact sort of partisan hackery Clarence Thomas would engage in.
My thoughts tooâscare the republicans into voting for Trump. Thomas is only 68. He probably can see a republican president happening in 8 years which would be the perfect time to retire.
Looks like some reporters can expect some sloppy, drunken, angry, 1am phone calls in ten years or so.
A reasonable surmise, given the onset of this:
Why would he ever want to leave home?
Mrs Thomas is not a gracious lady.
âHe does NOT have my permission to retire!!!â, Ginny screeches.
âI donât want him around eitherâ sigh
Itâs a disgrace that we have a Supreme Court Justice whoâs wife is a lobbyist.
Virginia Thomas is âgrace challenged.â
Geez, he canât even talk in this situation. Has anyone considered brain damage?
Translation: âShh, you werenât supposed to mention it yet.â
Why would he retire? He has no relevance, no identity outside of this. And why would he retire when he gets paid to do nothing (at least during oral arguments).
Yeah, she needs him on the court making rulings on issues she is being paid to lobby for or her business will all dry up.
Just another Republican GotV program.
They sound kind of panicked, too.
And youâre a racist for suggesting it!
A pretty transparent attempt to terrify core conservative voters to get behind the GOP.
We are going to see a lot of this and itâs going to get very crazy by election time.
Methinks the lady doth protest too much. Didnât the original story just say that Thomas was considering the possibility of retiring?
