Clarence Thomas for Chief Justice
2019-12-23
[Red State] Now that the Democrat-run House of Representatives has passed the articles of impeachment against President Trump on a purely partisan basis, there may or may not be an impeachment trial in the US Senate. In the event of a trial ‐ even if it only lasts for a single day ‐ the Constitution requires the Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court to preside over the trial.

There was a flurry of speculation in the legacy media at the beginning of the Democrats’ impeachment charade about the potential need for Chief Justice John Roberts to recuse himself. Some conservatives believe Roberts was coerced into coming up with the pretzel-like logic that Obamacare was "just a tax" which therefore enabled him to vote with the liberal court majority to "save Obamacare." The reason may have been this one.

#11  Ha, true KBK. And Thomas is very heavy indeed.

#10  @Lex. I disagree, and Thomas is the undoubted expert on persecution.

#9  I can recommend his autobiography, linked in the article. He has certainly traversed the ideological landscape!

#8  The heavyweights on that Court are Gorsuch and Kavanaugh. If Roberts were to step aside, one of those two should be elevated.

#7  Actually since Roberts is supervisor and appointer of FISA judges he should recuse himself.

#5  Paranoia is defined as an "unreasonable" hatred/fear...doesn't apply in your case.

#4  Thank you, Mercutio. I take it all back then. Chalk it up to my islamo-globalist paranoia.

Man, you can be one cynical asshole, Dron ! Now answer the Man upstairs for this.

#2  Father of a Jamal Adeen Thomas and husband of Virginia Thomas. Overly fervent Trump supporters. The family's 'conservative' leaning seems contrived and misleading for personal gain, to me at least. Maybe I'm wrong ?

Ginni Thomas is apparently known for some fake news posts that were just too easy to catch by the MSM and turn around on real conservatives.

The good judge himself is accused of misreporting his wife's income from her activism. Besides other allegations of corruption and abuse. I don't know anything about the appointment of judges, but I wouldn't bet on this horse at a time like this.

Iffy ?
