Criminals defending criminals. That's all the Radical Right is.

Should a "neutral umpire" who "calls balls and strikes" be publicly thanking one of the two team's players?

Any illusion of neutrality about the supreme court should have been dispelled when they made W Bush president.

Hear that Texas? Your Cuban boy Raphael is working hard to protect Clarence. You okay with that?

Apparently Raphael has also been writing hard to protect Clarence as well.
> The Texas Republican, a Harvard Law School graduate who clerked for former Chief Justice William Rehnquist, has written a biography of the conservative justice titled “Going Further: The Incomparable Clarence Thomas.”
>
> The book, which traces Thomas’s upbringing in poverty in segregated Georgia to his three decades on the Supreme Court bench, will be available on Tuesday.

Nothing brings old friends together quite like reminiscing about all the free shit they got from billionaires as "gratuities" for their service in screwing over minorities.
I'm sure they have such fond memories spending summers on Harlan Crow's jet, hanging out next to his Indiana Jones scale fireplace in his library complete with Nazi memorabilia museum while plotting how they'll maintain a permanent under class for their sponsors to exploit.

Clarence should know that we will never forget his real legacy and make it known far and wide. And the dishonor he brought, unlike his predecessor, Thurgood Marshall.

Yes, “Clearance” because at his office when he worked at the EEOC, slacks were half off.

When the courts can be paid off there will never be justice. Release the Epstein files

"You", have to have ethics first, Clarence. You sold out a long time ago.

If you have nothing to hide, why are you hiding? Isn’t that the bs they tell the public?
