Tell me, 'Justice' Thomas, why do we get a book of whines rather than something scholarly?

[deminks]

And why now, a pity pot of hate and venom against the majority? Another voice for the conservatives? Gotta get them libruls? Yawn.

What a headline.


Thomas: ‘Left-wing zealots’ worse than the KKK.

[groovedaddy]

1. Because he's not a scholar

nuff' said.

[Demeter]

2. Just a Self-Proclaimed "Victim"

seeking 15 minutes of fame and payoffs from a deluded audience.

[BadgerLaw2010]

3. His law clerks were unavailable to write said scholary work.

As much as they are ideologically offensive, compare Roberts' and Alito's and Scalia's resumes to Thomas. The difference is...bizarre.

He is just not all that smart.

[TwilightGardener]

4. Because he's an intellectual lightweight. You can't mine gold from an empty shaft.

[Jim__]

5. Even granting all of Thomas's arguments ...

... it's difficult to accept that criticism by "left-wing zealots" is worse than being lynched by the KKK.

[JNelson6563]

6. So pathetic.

Puke-worthy even. :puke:

[baldguy]

7. Conservatives are whine connoisseurs.

[Karmageddon]

18. LMAO. I hope you don't mind if I borrow that line

[blondeatlast]

8. Do you honestly believe "high tech lynching" came from him? I'm surprised

it wasn't a children't book:

"My name is Clarence. I was poor, black, and Catholic. I became a radical at Yale*. But then, I got employed by a Reagan Republican and saw the White--er, Light (OOPS, giggle!). Soon I became a Supreme Court Justice who had no opinion on abortion. Then I wrote a whiny book that a popular TV show helped me sell.

America is a great country for Republicans.

*If you believe that, I have a lovely bridge for sale...

11. You forget - 'I have no opinion about

Brown v the Board of Education and have NEVER discussed it in my entire career with anyone at any time.'

NAACP called him a liar then and I still agree.

What an offensive putz.

[blondeatlast]

15. I did forget that--but he seemed to remember it when he overturned it this year. nt

[rosesaylavee]

17. And here's another that makes my blood boil...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=3567924&mesg_id=3567924

Why can they hide behind the Constitution? Why are we letting them? He has no background in Constitutional law... that's why he never has anything to say. He's a shill for the Republicans. How he can live the lie that is his life, I have no idea.

[eShirl]

9. He's just writing about what's been foremost in his mind all this time.

[Buzz Clik]

10. "Thomas: ‘Left-wing zealots’ worse than the KKK." Burning crosses versus drum circles. You decide.

[radfringe]

12. does free cheese and crackers come with the book? n/t

[charlie]

13. Scalia was busy

Nothing left to do but get liquored up and yell at the ghostwriter.

[gratuitous]

14. Soon to be available for a buck at Newsmax

And to answer the question in the original post, Slappy's publisher told him to write to his strengths.

[flordehinojos]

16. He is riding on the high wave of BUSH REPUBLICANISM = deceit, deceit and more deceit.

which stretches all the way out tO ∞ infinity ☻

[DavidDvorkin]

19. He's not a scholar, but he is a Justice

No matter how evil his influence and his legacy, he was confirmed by the Senate, so the title is correct and should not be in quotes.

[blondeatlast]

20. I trust you understand that the word justice has more than one meaning?

I, too, would put "Justice" in quates regarding a man who has written precious few opinions but parrotted RW think-tanks in his speaking and indeed made them ostensibly into law.

I see no disrespect--only a play on words.

[DavidDvorkin]

21. A foolish play on words

That technique is used constantly here on DU, and it's absurd, not clever.

[blondeatlast]

22. You are entitled. nt

[Javaman]

23. because he's repuke. need I say more? nt
