Thomas is an unmitigated asshole. His belief that slaves didn't lose their dignity is one of the most disgusting things - Krusty Jun 26, 09:04 3
- Whenever he talks, just remember that his opinions are bought and paid for. - David Jun 26, 09:05 2
  - He's abhorent. -- nm - Krusty Jun 26, 09:06 1

- Yep, they show that the dissent didn't have a logical basis, so they had to rely on contemptuous arguments. -- nm - Max Jun 26, 09:08
- Yup. History will not look kindly on their writings in this case. -- nm - Krusty Jun 26, 09:07

  - I can't remember the last time someone made a serious issue of it here. -- nm - Reagen Jun 26, 09:01 2
    - (think he means in the nation) -- nm - Spawn Jun 26, 09:02 1

- it happened here pretty quickly. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 26, 08:59

who had Justice Thomas in the "worst fucking paragraph from a dissent" pool? -- (link) - jangles Jun 26, 08:25 18
- I can't with him. I never could and I never will. He is a walking pile of excrement who is of no use in the world. At least Sambo could dance. -- nm - Diva Jun 26, 09:08
- He really hates himself -- nm - amoxy Jun 26, 08:58
- I hate to use this word but he just went Uncle Tom -- nm - eag Jun 26, 08:46 2
  - I'd take race out of the argument. It doesn't help and the vileness stands clear without it. - Reagen Jun 26, 08:50

  - You may want to edit that. -- nm - Spawn Jun 26, 08:34
Jack...is this Supreme Court a conservative court for the most part? I ask because a couple of GOP canidates are calling it an Activist Court. -- nm - Remlik Jun 26, 08:24 7

    - I don't understand why people think it would. -- nm - Reagen Jun 26, 08:39 9
      - [deleted]
      - It would make me question why we give churches tax exempt status -- nm - con_carne Jun 26, 08:51
      - It has in some other countries, eg Denmark, but this is because the Church of Denmark is also a state institution, and so has to offer equal access - Roger More Jun 26, 08:46 6
        
        Wall between church and state don't sound so bad now, does it, extremists? -- nm - Reagen Jun 26, 08:56 2

- International treasure -- nm - Beryllium Jun 26, 08:21 2
  - His death is a weird Australian watershed moment. Everyone knows where they were when they heard the crocodile hunter died. - mafic Jun 26, 08:25 1
    - I do - I was on the corner of Yonge and Bloor. It's weird, because I never watched his show. -- nm - Roger More Jun 26, 08:28
