this is due solely to the fact that Thomas wasn't paying attention when Scalia was giving him his instructions.

(17,528 posts)I see '41' plastered all over the hbo schedule and I start lol. Clarence Thomas was one of the most cynical and racistly devious actions of that "first" bush. Thurgood Marshall has just died, a brilliant precusor to our current president. For that "first" bush to nominate him was calculated to show us, no the world what he thought of a black on the highest bench. Thomas is an extreme embarrassment.

(90,795 posts)Rehnquist was a pill junkie who was often in a stupor due to his drug use. (Coupled with his usual shitty demeanor and belief system.) Supposedly, he became delusional after he stopped. (if he really stopped)
Maybe the same is true of Scalia. (the shitty demeanor and warped belief system, for sure)....maybe the drug use as well.
