Critics were stunned Saturday after Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas scolded Americans for not accepting controversial rulings after his own wife battled against the results of a legitimate presidential election.
Thomas chided a distraught public in comments Friday at a judicial conference in Atlanta following the leak of a draft Supreme Court opinion that would gut Roe v. Wade and a half-century of the right to an abortion.
He complained that Americans are addicted to results they want while not living with rulings they oppose. He warned that the court will not be bullied in the face of protest. Declining respect for the law and institutions, Thomas warned, bodes ill for a free society.
Thomas detractors were agog. Not only has his wife, Virginia Ginni Thomas, refused to live with the presidential election, he was the sole Supreme Court justice to vote that former President Donald Trump should not have to release his White House documents to the House committee investigating last years insurrection.

Yes some of these will make no difference but perhaps some will. Flood their offices demanding an investigation.

If I could, I'd sneak into his office on a daily basis and personally put a pubic hair on his coke can. Better yet, a whole handful, on AND in it!
