Donald Trump thinks Clarence Thomas is the best Supreme Court Justice.


AIKEN, S.C. (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump calls the Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts "disgraceful" and a "disappointment" to conservatives.

The billionaire businessman cites Associate Justice Clarence Thomas as his favorite member of the court. Trump says Thomas is "very strong and consistent."

it may be a consistent streak of nasty fuckups but at least he's consistent.

I'm not surprised Trump finds that a positive, it's easy to process perfect for Trump.

Bernie, Clinton, Martin or fucking Ralph Nader...

To sit out this 2016 election because "your candidate" didn't get the nomination, well, please go hang somewhere else.

We shouldn't worry about discrimination humiliating people, since "Dignity cannot be taken away by the government. Slaves did not lose their dignity (any more than they lost their humanity) because the government allowed them to be enslaved. Those held in internment camps did not lose their dignity because the government confined them."

- Clarence Thomas, minority opinion in Obergefell v. Hodges, the 2015 case in which the majority ruled that states need to recognize gay-marriages.
