there are three constants in life: death, taxes, and Clarence Thomas writing legal opinions which should get him disbarred from the judiciary and legal system entirely

And which, if applied retroactively, would have prevented him from being a judge in the first place, thus creating a time paradox

I like the idea of Clarence Thomas with a time machine getting coked up and creating one of those wall charts with string trying to discern which rights he can subvert without harming himself in the present

Thomas said the Voting Rights Act doesn’t require Alabama “intentionally redraw its longstanding congressional districts so that black voters can control a number of seats roughly proportional to the black share of the State’s population.”

This guy is really acting like it’s entitlement for people to feel proportionally represented by their representative government in a state. What the hell.
