    For years I bent over backward to give Thomas the benefit of the doubt. I even researched his jurisprudence especially where it concerned civil rights.

    Turned out I was wasting my time. Motherfucker was just corrupt.

        We used to try to think that Supreme Court justices took their lifetime appointments and unique place in our democracy seriously. Turns out, they’re corrupt asshole politicians like all the rest. At least on the Republican side.
