Get Clarence Thomas, whose wife participated in the attempted overthrow of 2020's presidential election results. He sees no irony or hypocrisy in his criticism of people protesting peacefully and expressing their disapproval of the Court's upcoming overturning of Roe v Wade.
"We can't be an institution that can be bullied into giving you just the outcomes you want," he said.
"We are becoming addicted to wanting particular outcomes, not living with outcomes we don't like," he said. He should lay that last one on his wife.
That Roe v Wade will most probably be overturned is bad enough. That the arguments for overturning it are religious rather than legal are what make it scandalous. I cannot see how the decision, as written up by Samuel Alito, can possibly last very long, assuming that future Supreme Courts are composed of judges who revere the Constitution and the rule of law, rather than the current crop of religious fanatics who make decisions to get just the outcomes they want.
