Clarance respectfully go fuck yourself.
He can disrespectfully fuck himself, too.
With a very rusty pitchfork.
He can fuck off and die. Painfully, publicly, soon, and slowly.
Nah, he can live until the current nightmare is over, then he can fuck off and die.
He's upset they followed his precedent.
Yeah? So who's going to do anything about it?
Corruption just keeps on working without consequence.
400 million temporarily embarrassed swindlers.
I think it's safe to say Americans are now permanently embarrassed.
You can never tell with Thomas if he's been bribed in advance or is soliciting a gratuity.
Thomas’s hypocrisy
looks at article
He's talking about a lower court not following a Supreme Court precedent.
The Supreme Court is able to overrule Supreme Court precedent in later cases. It happens only rarely, but it does happen. There's a list of such rulings somewhere I remember on Wikipedia, several pages. Roe v. Wade was one such example.
But lower courts are not supposed to do that.
goes looking for Wikipedia page
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_overruled_United_States_Supreme_Court_decisions
This is a list of decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States that have been explicitly overruled, in part or in whole, by a subsequent decision of the Court. It does not include decisions that have been abrogated by subsequent constitutional amendment or by subsequent amending statutes.
As of 2018, the Supreme Court had overruled more than 300 of its own cases.[1]
Thank you for posting the wiki article, and regardless of how hypocritical this specific headline actually is, fuck Clarence Thomas for all the other reasons too. https://www.judiciary.senate.gov/press/releases/durbin-reveals-omissions-of-gifted-private-travel-to-justice-clarence-thomas-from-harlan-crow
Precedent died in 2016. It means less than nothing now.
Clarence Thomas is a bribe accepting crooked hypocrite who falls to pieces the second the doesn't get what he wants. How is this news? I thought everyone knew that already?
Not to mention Chevron deference. Thomas can get wrecked.
