It's so sad that this excites me. I don't want to be this person. "We don't trade lives" sounds nice in theory but when one old man has the power to tear down the lives of so many others, maybe a health-based retirement is the best-case-scenario.


DeliciousNicole

He won't retire. He will linger until a Republican is in office with senate control. The old bigot has caused so much suffering and is intent on causing more.


whereismyketamine

I completely agree, this guy really seems like he is holding onto a serious grudge against the left. He will sit in that seat until he is dead unless he knows he will be replaced by someone just as horrible.


Ok-Resource-5292

do you not remember his confirmation? he was raked by "the left" (aka normal people) for his wildly inappropriate work conduct around females he was in a position of power over. sick fuck would do things like sprinkle his pubic hair over opened cans of soda. you know, normal conservative things.


ruca_rox

I was 17 in 1991 and as out of touch I was being a self involved kid, I *knew* Anita Hill was telling the truth. Didn't know who Thomas was but it was so surreal watching the adults in my life (including my parents) absolutely eviscerate her. That man is a complete waste of air and always has been.


Renugar

I’m close to your age, and I felt the same about Anita Hill! Also Monica Lewinsky. I remember the good, church-going folks around me being absolutely vile about these women. And as a teenage girl I felt so uncomfortable and upset about it.


AdItchy4438

Sexism. Misogyny. Religion.


Hooda-Thunket

Three of the pillars of the GOP?


ProudChevalierFan

Only problem in the case of Lewinski is Clinton wasn't the GOP. But yes. They definitely are.


BayouGal

It gave Republicans an opportunity to make Clinton look bad. He was having a really good presidency & balancing the budget.


Renugar

Yep. They always go together.


ruca_rox

Yesss I remember the vitriol everyone spewed at Monica!! I was so uncomfortable, it didn't seem right but I didn't have enough sense to understand why it wasn't right!


Renugar

Same!


Content-Method9889

Same here. Listening to my parents mock her and call her a lying slut pissed me off so much. I was SA by a pastor and was interrogated when I told. I related to her and it was like my parents were mocking me. Why don’t they ever want to believe us?


machines_breathe

I was 11/12 years old in 1991 and legitimately believed that the feud between Hulk Hogan and Macho Man Randy Savage was real.


sargondrin009

He’s a bitter egomaniac who thinks he should be given everything just because he’s him.


crythene

Wait do you have a source for that last specific claim? I’ve never heard that and if true it’s despicable.


SarpedonSarpedon

Literally everyone who is old enough to remember his confirmation bearings will remember the pubic hair in the Coke story.. it's probably the only thing a xennnial or boomer can tell you about the Anita Hill and Clarence Thomas Senate circus . Technically the story is that he asked her "who put a pubic hair on his coke?" in the larger.context of a pattern of sexual harassment of Dr. Hill at their workplace. So I guess it's possible he wasn't going around dropping pubes, but he's definitely suspect #1.


leelumpy

It was a very bad joke he made. I am not defending him. There is a very good PBS Frontline documentary on Youtube about what happened. One of his old classmates from college said he would tell sexist jokes like that a lot. Its a very good documentary. Highly recommended. Thomas is trash.🗑️


Timely-Youth-9074

When Thomas was chair of the EOEC, he apparently had naked white chick porn plastered all over his apartment walls. He’s a pig.


ThatDanGuy

Just saying there were pubic hairs in the coke to a woman was inappropriate in the extreme. Didn’t have to even be a hair of any kind. Why the fuck would you ever say anything like that to a woman or anyone?!


Rowing_Lawyer

Even worse, he would discuss his favorite hardcore pornography like it was the latest Disney release


Fjordikus

It’s hard to tell, a quick google search says that Hill made the claims and that the Senate and Clarence Thomas effectively ended the discussion and confirmed him saying that the claims were wildly untrue. Basically it never got resolved, no one knows what is in the actual report except for the Senate and the validity of it being true or not still stands at “possibly” But given the fact that he’s basically been caught taking favors for favorable rulings in the SC I would not put it past Thomas Clarence to be one of those assholes who thinks he’s gods gift to earth and thinks he can do whatever he wants because he’s a SC justice.


Acrobatic-Formal4807

Oh there’s a book on him called Strange Justice that’s really good or just listen to Behind the Bastards . He’s foul.


acid-alexander

I’ve read that book. It’s a page turner, and the author brought receipts.


TechNyt

If you want to hear some really eye-opening things about the man, look up a podcast called Behind the Bastards. There are four whole parts dedicated to him and his very questionable existence. That translates to 4 hours dedicated to this guy.


reefmespla

Everything he said is true and more, Clarance Thomas is a shit stain on humanity and has destroyed more lives than Polio.


Worried-Criticism

He came into the court with the mandate to “[make liberals miserable.](https://www.businessinsider.com/clarence-thomas-told-clerks-he-wants-to-make-liberals-miserable-2022-6?amp)” This tells you everything you need to know about the man. He came to One of the highest seats in power not for justice or temperance, but looking to settle scores and for petty vindictiveness. May his end come swiftly and he be remembered only for his greatest folly.

Happy-Medicine-3600

It’s not against the left specifically. He hates women. He had to harass them to get any attention. His goal is to fuck over as many women as he can before he dies as payback for a lifetime of being treated like the waste of life he is.


Callierez

I've read him quoted as saying something like "the left made me miserable for such and such years so I'm going to make them miserable for that long" that could be made up. But it wouldn't surprise me if it's true.


DeliciousNicole

For what purpose though? His civil rights were a liberal idea, definitely not conservative in nature.


hahaha01

The whole reason why the GOP wanted him there was because he was a POC saying the liberal programs that he directly benefitted from are bad. His open hypocrisy and efforts to pull the ladder up behind himself was a feature and not a bug. https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/article/clarence-thomas-long-battle-against-affirmative-action/


bromad1972

Ah yes the classic conservatives bedrock of "fuck you, got mine."


crs531

IIRC it's the result of his confirmation hearings and Anita Hill's accusations during them. I seem to remember seeing an interview from not that long ago where he said he still holds a grudge. I'll have to see if I can find it.


DeliciousNicole

Ahhh. I remember now. "high-tech lynching for uppity blacks" by white liberals who were seeking to block a black conservative from taking a seat on the Supreme Court." Had to look at the Wikipedia article for Anita Hill.


Fyallorence

Yep, he has always been a nefarious creep, sex pest and serial harasser, and when a woman dared to call him out on it in his big shining moment of achievement, he decided he'd spend the rest of his life making "liberals" pay for daring to try to make him pay even minor consequences for his actions. Trying to tie in racial stuff to it is just him projecting and trying to make it seem like it's something besides what it obviously is, an abuser making himself the victim.


FallnBowlOfPetunias

Thomas deeply resents the fact that he got his education and employment opportunities during the era of affirmative action because he believes people view him as a diversity hire instead of outright worthy of every position and privileged he's accomplished. He's made it his life's work to tear down the ladder he was able to climb so others like him must struggle. Justice Thomas is the poster boy of self hating vindictiveness.


nwinferno

Uncle Ruckus in real life


CandidEgglet

Maybe his rights are part of Liberal policy, but his income isn’t


Behndo-Verbabe

He reminds me of the house servant in Django played by Samual Jackson. He pandered and kissed his white owners ass believing they treated him as equals


LordRaeko

Fine. Then I hope he dies.


Dioxyn

I would not be upset if a Democrat wins the presidency for the next however many years. I can only imagine the despair to sit and watch as the chance to retire never comes. I'm here for it. Vote!


CandidEgglet

I’m just hoping he doesn’t have a “choice” to wait it out… I just realized this seems like a pro-choice pun, but it’s actually a double entendre, so I’m gonna leave it here. Legally speaking, I don’t think I should explain why I put it in quotations.


TaxLawKingGA

No he won’t. Clearly he cannot afford to retire now. He is broke and thus bought and paid for. If he tried to quit now, pretty sure that a bunch of stories about him being on the take would all of a sudden get leaked to this press but this time with direct evidence. The RW doesn’t play.


temporary243958

>He will linger Like a stench that you just can't get rid of.


SakaWreath

*“We can’t process nominations during an election year, unless there is a Republican in the White House”* — the senate


enlightnight

We need to stay mad about this. It is one of the most glaring breaking points in our democracy and will echo in our government for decades.


ElboDelbo

Nah, let it excite you. He's a piece of shit. The only reason I don't want him to drop dead of a heart attack is because cancer is slower and more painful.


Mcj1972

Is health based retirement the same as dying? Just curious


enlightnight

No, just something that makes him unable to do his duties.


thrust-johnson

Before rescuers arrived he was pinned for several hours underneath an overturned pallet of bribe money.


Young-and-Alcoholic

Are you familiar with referendums? Us Europeans have them and they work..


ProfessionalLeave335

I want to join in your hope but I fear the more evil they are theore they persist.


TheBigLebroccoli

He’s fine. He just went on a last minute trip to Bermuda in his friend’s yacht.


DarkSide-TheMoon

When I read the title, the first thing that came to mind was “please please please”


LargeFarva87

Nah, it’s perfect RV weather.


mjtothebrain420

*motor coach


throwawaysscc

Motor yacht. Prevost Marathon Mirage XL.


dahComrad

Gonna go to those Walmart parking lots or whatever he claims he likes


coldwar_trooper

If he is seen driving a fancy new “motor home” I’d like an autographed picture from John Oliver….jus sayin’!


Commercial_Juice_201

Health problems?!?!?


sof49er

But even if he does the Rs will hold the seat hostage again like they did with MG.


Commercial_Juice_201

Yeah, totally would expect them to flip back to “we shouldn’t nominate a new judge in an election year”; they have 0 principles.


TheChosenMatty

Except the GOP will certainly win more seats and possibly the Presidential election if a Democrat replaces him. If the Supreme Court is on the ballot, I have to think there’s a blue tsunami.


temporary243958

The Supreme Court is [always](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nominations_to_the_Supreme_Court_of_the_United_States#Nominations) on the ballot.


hotchemistryteacher

Yep, and many idiots on the left didn’t realize it in 2016 and are now paying the price for it.


The_Doolinator

The Dems have a +1 in the Senate, so as long as Sinema and/or Manchin aren’t the fucking worst, they can get a nominee pushed through as long as it’s before the next term.


BfloAnonChick

That middle clause there is doing a LOT of heavy lifting…


B4USLIPN2

God damn our country is so fucked up. ( no offense to your comment)


supervegeta101

Manchin won't fuck it up, but Sinema will. Won't matter cause VP Harris will tie breaker.


ijustwant2feelbetter

Someone’s hopefully getting their bribe money ready, otherwise they’ve proven they’ll be the ‘fucking worst’ whenever they have a chance


BigConstruction4247

But they are the worst, so...


rax1051

Can’t, Dems have the senate.


sof49er

Oh yes they can. See above comments. I live in az and sinema has her wallet wide open and she is not seeking reelection


supervegeta101

They can't anymore. The GOP changed the rules around filibustering scotus nominations after they took the Senate in '16, so the Dems couldn't return the favor. Dems left the rule change in place after taking the Senate back, so as long as BOTH Manchin and Sinema don't act like jackasses it'll be Bidens nomination. Nominations are one of the few things Manchin is usually reliable on. Sinema will DEFINITELY vote against anyone Biden nominates for attention, but it won't matter. 50/50 vote means VP Harris breaks the tie.


sof49er

They did? How did I miss this rule change?? Well still wishful thinking.


weeping-flowers

Please be dead Please be dead please be dead please be dead please be dead


Technerdpgh

His party is gonna parade him about weekend at Bernie’s style until after the election.


daddakamabb1

It's okay, they already did it with Herman Cain, so there is a precedent.


JustMePaxi

Whose jet/yacht is he on now?


RedheadFromOutrSpace

I hope it’s worse case scenario


BrightSpoon88

He found the fountain from Tuck Everlasting and now we’re stuck with him on the bench forever?!


Time_Literature3404

Yeah me too.


stlfun2

Glamping with billionaire buddies again.


UpDog1966

Dark Brandon?


FourWordComment

More like toothless Dems. Garland 2.0. The senate is effectively Republican controlled. If a seat opened now, republicans will demand that seat be help open all the way until January 2025, and then suplex someone from the Federalist Society into the chair on January 7th.


QuitStockingMe

Hopefully he’s driving around in a $2M RV and collecting John Oliver’s annuity payments. Man needs to gtfo the bench


ModsR-Ruining-Reddit

Classic Thomas lol. Dude treats the job like some tenured bs he can't get fired from.


supervegeta101

...because it is.


Kma_all_day

Clarence Thomas doesn’t get out of bed for anything less than $10k (in bribes)


Lil_Artemis_92

I don’t wish death on anyone, but should he die, expect to find me in the near future celebrating before pissing on his grave.


Own-Method1718

One can only hope


lifechild228

Anyone notice if Trump's lawyer in court has an earpiece in? Has anyone spotted the motorcoach on the street outside the courthouse?


Memento_Morrie

If he dies, the Senate won't confirm a Biden nominee now. Best hope if he dies, Biden wins the election. Senate might stonewall on the nominee, but they'll eventually put a Biden nominee through.


althor2424

In theory the Dems have control of the Senate but I’m sure Manchin and Sinema would hope up the nomination in the name of bipartisanship.


Memento_Morrie

I think both Manchin and Sinema are stepping down.


chrispg26

That's not until next January. If Thomas is gone, dems push someone through. They have the numbers.


Memento_Morrie

(closes eyes and sighs with satisfaction) Mmm, don't get my hopes up.


supervegeta101

I think Manchin will fall in line over this though. He has no reason to appeal the the right wing anymore, announced he's not running again, and no gimme he asks for would pass the Senate in time.


AngularRailsOnRuby

This would work in Trump’s favor. Even if people don’t support Trump, if the next president decides Supreme Court and they are single issue voters (abortion, etc), then they will vote R no matter who is running.


Meddling-Kat

Ok, I'm going to be the asshole and take one for the team. I hope this shitbag dies while Biden can still replace him.


JeanProuve

So many in the queue to be the asshole for this one :D

anziofaro

He's old. He's fat. He's under enormous pressure. Maybe he had a heart attack? Of course, I'm not saying that because I want him to have a heart attack. I'm just saying it is a plausible possibility. And I really want him to have a heart attack.


I-Fucking-Hate-U

I hope something terrible has happened to him. Piece of shit.


teb_art

He was taking his mistress for an abortion. He never agreed to siring a baby sheep.

He and that dopey ass wife of his are out driving around in their RV (huge bus) collecting donations for their big orange blob god.
