Justice Clarence Thomas' Speech in Front of the Heritage Foundation
2007-10-22 04:15:00 A few hours ago I attended Justice Clarence Thomas' speech in front of the Heritage Foundation and the Federalist Society. It was a very enlightening discussion. His life's story is truly remarkable.Although Justice Thomas spoke mostly about his life and his book, "My Grandfather's Son: A Memoir," he was also willing to answer questions about his time on the Supreme Court. Thankfully, he was also able to answer my question directly, "Should Justices consider public policy ramifications when writing opinions?"His response was exactly what I wanted to hear. He stated that Justices should be very careful to read the law as it is, and not how they want it to be. He asked a very rhetorical question, which helped to clarify his position. He stated, "What was the public policy in the 1955 South?" "Should Judges have interpreted the 14th Amendment through the lens of public policy when the majority was racist?" "What was public policy during the time of the Dred Scott case?"Over...
On Clarence Thomas and 60 Minutes

Here is a man who has risen to the very pinnacle, not only of his profession, but of power, yet he seemed so bitter, so angry, so vengeful. To me, this made him seem pitiful and absurd, like the ...

Clarence Thomas Was On My Mind
2007-10-06 04:54:00 I woke up in a bad mood this morning. I had a dream that I had finally lost my mind for good. I recall screaming and yelling and escorted from the building after talking to the bank on the phone and being told that the Attorney General had frozen my account. I then ran over a fire hydrant in a car I drove (badly) via remote control and challenged the police and an angry mob featuring an extremely obese cop with a hypodermic needle for me. I didn't care if they killed me at first then I changed my mind and decided to run for it. I outran all of them but one or two. They finally forgot why they were chasing me. The colors were vivid reds, greens, browns, and the sun came out as the water stopped coming down. The next thing I remember was awakening with the thought in my mind of I hate Clarence Thomas. How is that for crazy? I haven't been able to get that thought out of my mind. I actually began to start to like Justice Thomas for the first time after viewing some of his...
Black Redneck Perspective: Pathetic Clarence Thomas & Black Conservativ
2007-10-02 15:45:00 From Oliver Willis Eugene Robinson hits the nail so hard on the head about just how dumb Clarence Thomas is. There are, as he ought to know, plenty of black conservatives. There are plenty of African American parents teaching their children the same lessons of hard work and self-reliance that Thomas’s grandfather taught him. The black church, ...

2007-10-01 02:37:00 Steve Kroft gave a balanced interview of Justice Clarence Thomas on 60 minutes. It was a very enlightening discussion. Overall, Justice Thomas was impressive and left the audience with a positive image.Throughout the interview, most of the substantive comments that Justice Thomas spoke about were very persuasive. He argued that Government programs intended to help blacks are demeaning and detrimental. They create a cult to victimization.For example, he spoke about how these programs are contrary to his Grandfather?s teachings. His Grandfather raised him with the philosophy that anything can be accomplished with a little elbow grease. Sadly, Justice Thomas believed his Yale Law School Degree was degraded because of Affirmative Action. According to Justice Thomas, white people thought he was accepted to Yale because of his race. They ignored the fact that he did well in school all his life and also performed well at Yale Law School. Affirmative action negatively influenced is...
