Clarence Thomas Quits Law School Class, Depriving Students Of BOTH Sides Of The 'Do Gay People Have Human Rights?' Debate

When thousands signed a petition calling on George Washington University Law School to terminate its relationship with Clarence Thomas, the school remained defiant. GW Law explained that it couldn’t end its ties with Justice Thomas “Because we steadfastly support the robust exchange of ideas and deliberation,” which was a curious way to write because we’re not a T14 school but if you squint real hard we look like one because we throw a few bucks at a Supreme Court justice to teach a seminar.

Alas, Justice Thomas could read the handwriting on the wall — a reference to the most recent instance of textual interpretation Thomas recognizes — and he’s now unavailable to teach the ironically themed “Constitutional Law” seminar he usually offers.

1. Wish he'd leave the SC

That is all

2. I doubt there is any longer a need for specialized legal training.

Step one, get a lifetime political appointment. Step two, do whatever you want. It seems simple enough, I could probably manage it.

3. Yay!

... I'm for hearing the "other side" and enjoying the ideas debate - but NOT with crooks and liars. How about asking Liz Chaney? She is busy now, yes, but may have time soon... I'd take her class.

4. Well, the last thing we need is more incompetent lawyers who don't give a shit about human rights.

6. Who would want to take his class anyway? (n/t)
