The Politics Thread

[DRW50]

And, sure enough, the loathsome Dan Wootton is blaming Meghan and Oprah for this disastrous trip, rather than articles like these:

I'll believe it when I see him. Habeas corpus!

 

[DRW50]

If he is fine, then questions need to be asked about why the Court is refusing any comment on his not being a part of oral arguments or giving an update on him.

Clarence Thomas' wife is not going to allow any accurate information to get out which means the court can only tell whatever she lets them know. She is a major political hack and if her husband is gravely ill she is going to conceal it as long as possible and if worse comes to worse she will keep it until after the election in the event Republicans win the Senate. With that said I can't see that working because if the regular media didn't find out the truth then TMZ will.

[Khan]

I never thought I would see the day when we would have to trust TMZ (and not the "mainstream media") to get to the bottom of things.

They also can't keep him on ice for two and a half more years should worst -

Meanwhile, should I feel bad that I don't feel bad about Thomas?  Like, I'd never wish anything bad to happen to him, or to anyone else; but, at the same time, given everything we know about him, he's in the hospital and I'm like, *shrug*.

[DramatistDreamer]

The court and the people of America deserve to know what Justice Thomas's health status is. If he is in anyway incapacitated, he should resign or a decision to have him taken off his post should be made.

[Vee]

Oh, we're not exactly weeping into our beers, trust me.

[ReddFoxx]

Not at all. If you don't feel bad about it you just don't feel bad. He's not a very likable person and unlikable people don't get an overwhelming amount of sympathy.

[Khan]

DEFINITELY agree.

[Juliajms]

Please. I'm more than willing to do the ill wishing here. I don't wish him dead mind you, but I do hope he has to resign from the court. He and his ilk have no trouble harming others, so I have no problem wishing harm to him.

Meanwhile, he is probably just fine. This board has always been full of optimists when it comes to bad guys doing us the courtesy of dying.

[marceline]

All I care about is getting KBJ confirmed before Thomas dies. If he dies before that then the GQP will go buck wild. Once she's on SCOTUS, he can head to the crossroads.

Considering what he and his hatemonger wife would want to happen to us, and considering the beyond sickening behavior of the GOP regarding RBG,  no. I do not wish ill on him, but I am not going to fake concern for a monster. 

As said  above, he is probably fine anyway. The GOP are always better at planning things like this than Democrats are.
