Clarence Thomas Told Clerks His Goal Is To Make Liberals' Lives Miserable

In a recently-unearthed interview with The New York Times from 1993, a law clerk for Clarence Thomas said that the justice told his clerks that his goal was to serve on the Court for the next 43 years with the purpose of making liberals' lives miserable. It is safe to say that he has succeeded in that task, but these comments should have been used decades ago to push for SCOTUS reforms by Democrats. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

According to a recently unearthed interview with the New York times from 1993 law clerks for Supreme court justice. Clarence Thomas said that Thomas told them the liberals made my life miserable for 43 years and I'm going to make their lives miserable for 43 years. Cause of course, Thomas confirmed in 1991 was 43 years old at the time. He should never have been confirmed. Thanks to the testimony of Anita hill. Unfortunately you had plenty of Democrats willing to, uh, tarnish Anita Hill's record. Uh, chief among them of course, was Joe Biden. And Clarence Thomas barely got approved by the Senate 52 to 48, but that was really one of the first times in American history where these hearings became a public focus. You know, prior to that, you'd read about it the next day in the news, maybe, maybe, but we had these on video. People saw this and that, of course, embarrassed. Clarence Thomas embarrassed him to the point where he decided that his only goal as a Supreme court justice, according to his law clerks back in 1993, was to make the lives of the liberals in this country miserable.

I know AOC has been out this week and a couple of others calling for the impeachment of people like Clarence Thomas, of course, for lying under oath about robe being settled law, all that blah, blah, blah. But, um, why was he not impeached for this? Why was he not disciplined at all? I mean, again, this, this from the New York times in 1993 and really hearing about this, what 29 years later, you see, I think the Democrats at some point over the last 29 years probably should have brought this up in the, the house or Senate. You know, there, there were plenty of times during those years when, when you had control of the house and Senate. Okay. And, uh, you, you still did nothing. I mean, this man made it clear according to the people who were working with him, that his job on that court is not to determine whether or not things are constitutional. It's not to uphold the laws of the United States. His job was to make liberals miserable and mission accomplished. By the way, Clarence Thomas, this man was unfit to serve on that Supreme court. Always. He should

Not be there. He absolutely should not be there. I, we look at all the stuff that's going on with his wife now as well, you know, actively working to overthrow the results of the 2020 election. And we just kind of all shrug our shoulders and we're like, oh man, he sucked so bad Democrats could have done something. They could have done something in the nineties. They could have done something today. They could be doing something about his wife. They're not, they're just not. So we're stuck with him. He wants to make our lives miserable for 43 years. I guess the only plus side of that would be, uh, that he has what 12 years left. So I guess that's good. We just gotta wait it out and see how many more of our rights he takes away before we hit that 12 year mark.
