You know just from a purely objective legal standpoint. Many impartial Constitutional scholars consider him a really weak Justice. He turned out to be a real dud...not just from a liberal point of view but from an objective comparison to other judges. He just doesn't have the intellect. He went 5 years without asking a question during oral arguments. Pathetic.
Seriously? take a good man down and continue to raise up, what?
A fumbling Communist leader?!
Thomas has major conflict of interest problems as well as that he lied on his mandated disclosure forms.
Regardless of whether you like his viewpoint or not, a Supreme Court justice must be above suspicion of being unduly influenced by corruption or undo influence. The fact that his wife takes money from groups that her husband is ruling on is an ethical problem.
I hope that they finally are successful at destroying this incompetent Justice. He is an insult to the seat once held by the great Thurgood Marshall.
It is really astonishing how little the left knows.
CNN’s Jeffrey Toobin on Clarence Thomas: “Rarely Has A Supreme Court Justice Enjoyed Such Broad Vindication.” | The Kitchen Cabinet.US (http://thekitchencabinet.us/2011/09/03/cnns-jeffrey-toobin-on-clarence-thomas-rarely-has-a-supreme-court-justice-enjoyed-such-broad-vindication/ - broken link)
"The greatest revenge is success. Clarence Thomas may go down in judicial history as the most important voice on the Court in two decades. In Toobin’s New Yorker article, Steve Calabresi, a law professor at Northwestern and co-founder of the Federalist Society says, “(Thomas’ opinions) are very scholarly, with lots of historical sources, and his views are the most principled, even among the conservatives. He has staked out some bold positions, and then the Court has set out and moved in his direction.”"

t has been, in certain respects, a difficult year for Clarence Thomas. In January, he was compelled to amend several years of the financial-disclosure forms that Supreme Court Justices must file each year. The document requires the Justices to disclose the source of all income earned by their spouses, and Thomas had failed to note that his wife, Virginia, who is known as Ginni, worked as a representative for a Michigan college and at the Heritage Foundation. The following month, seventy-four members of Congress called on Thomas to recuse himself from any legal challenges to President Obama’s health-care reform, because his wife has been an outspoken opponent of the law. At around the same time, Court observers noted the fifth anniversary of the last time that Thomas had asked a question during an oral argument. The confluence of these events produced the kind of public criticism, and even mockery, that Thomas had largely managed to avoid since his tumultuous arrival on the Court, twenty years ago this fall.

He's a puppet to the Koch's and the epitome of cronyism and fascism, things the GOP strive for
