Jay Willis: If you’re a conservative lawyer with lofty career aspirations, it’s very important to either be not at all publicly racist, or else so openly, cartoonishly racist that Clarence and Ginni Thomas invite you to move into their home and then he hires you as a Supreme Court clerk

Forgot the link to the screencapped story, a Ruth Marcus column from November 2023, that’s my bad www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Opinion | The Crystal Clanton case shows a system failurewww.washingtonpost.com Thanks to Clarence Thomas and his wife, a woman with a questionable past has a very bright future. That’s another reason we need an overhaul of judicial ethics.

This picture says so much.

Thomas: That's OK, I hate myself.

Thomas: it's OK, everyone in my family hates black people too!

A vivid image of the psychosexual dynamics of the Thomas household just flashed - unwanted - into my mind

"How's YOUR January 6th going?"

That’s some meat hook she’s got there.

I've been reliably informed (by Trump's lawyers, so, I guess, not very reliably) that even the tiniest hint of political bias by a judge's clerk makes them unfit for service and is undeniable grounds for a bad court thingy. Is that, in fact, not true?

The trick is the claim that the only people who have political biases are the people who disagree with them.

They really missed it when they didn't name it the Antonin Scalia School Hall Of Legal Education. The sweatshirts would have been great.

They really did originally name it Antonin Scalia School of Law until everyone immediately called it ASS Law

Well, they called it ASSoL.

I still do.

ASSLaw Grad

Tough interning right there.

And here I thought those texts would derail her career.

Thomas has a bad back: he needs all the help he can get pulling that ladder up behind him

But wait, this doesn't explain why she was fired! It just mentions some irrelevant detail about a text message she sent, but nothing that TPUSA would grounds for dismissal. I dunno, maybe she was taking bribes… no, what am I saying, that wouldn't do it either.

Confirmative action

Gee, wasn't it just a few days ago everyone was piling on Biden because of statements he made in 2003? I'm not great at math, but I think that was longer ago than 2015. But I guess it's all about what you want to pay attention to.

Just sort of makes me sick to my stomach to think that someone that thinks this way is given all the breaks. Instead of being shunned into oblivion.

Now imagine being Black in this country

In my whiteness I cannot. Even tho I was born into a dirt poor white family. I cannot. My mother did teach me very early about racism by simply saying, if you ever think you’re better than anyone else, how dare you. Her words have stayed with me.

“I didn’t say that but if I did I didn’t mean it now that it’s being held against me, you’re the racist one for trying to make me look racist”

There is no in between

Can't wait to see where she ends up in 20 or 30 years! *probably a war crimes tribunal*

Too racist for Turning Point USA? Poor sweet innocent Clarence, does he have any idea about the people he's surrounded himself with?

Yes. His role is to assure them they are right about Black people and do all he can to maintain the racial order.

I don't know why conservatives have problems with genders when they have a black justice who identifies as white.

"Those messages do not reflect my beliefs. I do NOT hate all Blacks. I work for one of the good ones!"

Clanton. Good grief.

Somebody buy Clarence Thomas a mirror!

Krystal Klanton

I wonder if the VA/DC bar had any questions for this person when doing their moral character…

But… But… I was told that cancel culture has run amok and people are being shunned just for things they wrote 9 years ago.

The Meritocracy!

When you recall Clarence’s grandfather pulled him out of poverty and supported him going into law to continue the family work with civil rights…Jesus what a dark road

If you work for Thomas, you’re a fraud.

Krystal Klanton.

She got Klan built right in, wild

What happened in Clarence Thomas' life to make him like this

"this isn't who i am" you worked for turning point, it literally is who you are.

I respectfully disagree, I want them to be public about it so we’ll know not to hire them.

Median ASS Law graduate

No possibility of that evidence being manufactured? I point out that Clarance Thomas is not the judge to try to sell that to, given his contention that the attacks on him in his confirmation hearing were manufactured, and that he witnessed what he saw as same sort of attacks being used on others.

It's the horseshoe theory of employability.

Whatever works.

Things that make you go "Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck"
