The Heightening The Contrasts Edition
Joyce Vance on how the Supreme Court unanimously decided a legislative seating case in 1965. Too bad precedent no longer seems to apply to anything.
Dan Rather & Elliot Kirschner approve of Pro Publica's "blockbuster investigative report" about Clarence Thomas & his billionaire right-wing "friend".
Letters from an American gives us Thomas's own words, as he jets & cruises around the world:
Thomas did not disclose any of these valuable gifts. Indeed, in a documentary funded in part by Crow, Thomas presented himself as a regular guy. “I prefer the RV parks. I prefer the Walmart parking lots to the beaches and things like that. There’s something normal to me about it,” he said. “I come from regular stock, and I prefer that—I prefer being around that.”
You know, the common clay of the new west: A moron. And a hypocrite.
Hullabaloo has the footage, & more abuse of Injustice Thomas.
