Quis Custodiet....
...ipsos custodes?
Oh SCOTUS….
On the list of supreme court justices who invoke my ire, Scalia has traditionally , historically, been, in the past, the worst offender. This week, I would like to congratulate Justice Clarence Thomas for overtaking the Hon. Antonin Scalia as the worst member of our highest court. Thomas has been a rising star on this list for some time now, thanks to his refusal to write or express original opinions, as well as his apparent distaste for the notion that someone might, at some point, ask him to actually adjudicate something. He clinched the title this week, however, by noting that he is uneasy with the concept of rights. That’s correct, folks, Justice Thomas isn’t sure that people should have rights, or indeed that inalienable freedoms ought to exist as a concept.
Kind of makes you wonder what the Senate was thinking when they confirmed him…
