It seems that with Scalia no longer around, Thomas is continuing on the same path of brutality, cruelty, and lack of justice that he consistently shared with Scalia.

In this particular case, it seems that Thomas wants to put another Georgia defendant into the death chamber. He was joined by exactly none of his seven collegues.
WTF is wrong with this man? I'm not a psychologist, so I won't venture into his motivations. But perhaps some here can explain what motivates him.

Apologies if this offends as I'm just trying to think about your question, which I'd never contemplated.

Thomas is rotten to the core, as was Scalia.

(15,075 posts)there are so many more like him waiting in the wings.
And if the next president is a Republican, they will be put front and center in leading roles.
This should scare the hell out of all sane Americans.
