Clarence Thomas dissent in decision on striking black jurors:

[kpete]

Justice Clarence Thomas, the court's lone African American member, cast the lone dissent. "Foster's new evidence does not justify this court's reassessment of who was telling the truth nearly three decades removed from voir dire," he said.

Thomas warned that the court's ruling "invites state prisoners to go searching for new 'evidence' by demanding the files of the prosecutors who long ago convicted them."

This is "spilled ink," too skeptical of prosecutors

4. Clarence Thomas is the epitome of a black man suffering from internalized racism

I'm sure that, in his mind, that dissent was simply a guarantee of his continued service to self-hatred of his own black skin, anti-black bias and white supremacy.

His appointment to the US Supreme Court was a right wight curse against the legacy of Justice Thurgood Marshall.

5. If Thomas Ever Went to Trial-Justice Would Dictate That He Should Face an All-Black Jury
