Clarence Thomas takes you to SCHOOL on the proper and improper ways to disagree with his Supremeness
Poor Clarence. Supreme Court Justicein' is HARD WORK, and he gets SO LITTLE respect.

Clarence Thomas upset because of criticisms on the Citizens United case comes from the left
By John Amato Friday Feb 05, 2010 7:00am

Clarence Thomas is suddenly upset that people have the audacity to criticize the Supreme Court. As long as conservatives attack the bench it's quite alright, but Clarice can't handle it critiques when they come from the left.

Questioning the Supreme Court and other government branches needs to stay within the range of fair criticism or "run the risk in our society of undermining institutions that we need to preserve our liberties," Justice Clarence Thomas said Thursday.

Thomas also told an audience at the University of Florida law school that some comments he hears about the court "border on being irresponsible."

He didn't speak specifically about the court's recent decision on campaign financing or mention President Barack Obama. But Thomas' comments come a week after Obama took the rare step of openly criticizing the decision during his State of the Union speech.

Thomas supported the 5-4 ruling that allows companies and unions to spend freely on ads that promote or target candidates by name.

Thomas said the court should be questioned but is bothered by some rhetoric with "the idea of assigning ulterior motives to opinions that people don't agree with, rather than saying simply that the court doesn't agree with my argument."

When Tom Delay, John Cornyn, James Dobson, Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson declare open warfare against the activist Supreme Court, Thomas stays mute. Kinda like his behavior on the court except when he acts like an activist.

4. I hear ya.
If there's a "Grinch Meter" for MEANNESS, I'd say that making Clarence cry EASILY pushes the needle into the RED zone.

:rofl:

7. I didn't know he could still speak.
So they decided that the black guy should speak out against President Obama's comments. Gee, I wonder what that's all about. :crazy:

10. I didn't realize he could talk
I like it better when he doesn't. Why change now, Clarence, you haven't bothered to say a word at your day job for how many years now?

11. That decision was nothing BUT "ulterior motives"
Corporate rights weren't even an issue, it trashed 100 years of precedent and common sense and it wasn't even legally justified.

So all you have left is... an ulterior motive.

13. "...to preserve our liberties"? He marginalized them!
He and his merry band of activists marginalized the worth of my voice to practically zero. There is no way in hell my little voice can outshout the mega-bazillion dollar voice of corporate special interests.

It was bad enough before this decision, but at least I had a chance.
