(29 posts)This may be the most hypocritical thing ever - Judge Thomas is married to a white woman which would have put him in jail at best or even murdered in Virginia before the Supreme Court ruled in 1967 that interracial marriage was legal. That was also based on the thousands of years of biblical prejudice and supported by virtuous Christian organizations.

I don't believe that he is capable of thinking. He was totally unqualified to be a Supreme Court justice when Bush I presented him as a nominee. He hasn't improved a bit since.
The opinion was likely written by a law clerk, but Thomas would have had to approve and sign it.
