He was known as the justice who never asked questions during any court proceedings, for about a decade. He didn't participate in court cases for a decade, other than to vote at the end.
Besides the infuriating corruption, I find the image of Thomas on the open road, behind the wheel of a Winnebago, maybe in full regalia, to be oddly humorous.
As someone who voted for Obama (I have since made a pledge to myself to never vote for a self identified neoliberal for president) , j also find it disturbing that this same rich dude paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Obama campaign and was also awarded an ambassadorship for our country (the us). The issue here is money in politics we need to overturn citizens United and stop legal bribery in this country. But Clarence Thomas is an obvious example of scum collected and exposed from the bottom of the pond.
Hes a true success story that drives the left crazy. Good for him. Sorry some people disagree with his politics and have no option but to attack him personally. I hope they get get over it.
