Wow, he’s totally a fossil. “In my day, we didn’t have automobiles and we had to walk 10 miles in the snow to get to school. And we liked it!”
Though, I will grant him that people do take a lot for granted. The Constitution does not entitle everyone to one of them newfangled dish washing machines. =) Though maybe that is one of those rights not listed, but still held by the people. Dishwashers for all!
What’s more amazing than the dishwashing machine is the clothes washing machine. I’d hate to have to wash my clothes in the Potomac. Oh wait! Best of all = indoor plumbing. I could live without the TV and computer and maybe the washing machines (as long as there were Washeterias), but indoor plumbing – no way! There are so many things when you think about it. Oh to live in a land of plenty… It’s great to live in America!
But I don’t keep opening the dishwasher trying to figure out how it works. It cleans the dishes and that’s all I need to know.
Well, I feel better about ripping one of his opinions apart as part of a research paper now… (and my paper would kill him, as I am arguing for MORE rights! Gasp! Oh noes! Not rights!)
Oh, and let’s be clear: I wasn’t wondering if he got a bad rap with respect to his judicial philosophy (that one’s a pretty clear call, to me). It was the more fundamental questioning of his abilities. And this? I think this helps confirm that. And we’re stuck with this guy for another 20-30 years.
Maybe that’s what I’ll ask him, if I ever get the opportunity “If it’s so gosh darn hard, why don’t you just quit?”
We could always ask/challenge Justice Thomas to lead by example, and wash his own clothes and dishes in the river, and haul them back and forth by himself.
What about his responsibility to participate in a better democracy? One where the justices of the supreme court fight to uphold our hopes for a better life?

And this guy is on the court for life. Sigh.

Wobbly to start … clutching the sanity rail pretty hard 18 years in. Ten years from now I suspect there will be no connection whatsoever to reality.

I believe Anita Hill got the bad rap.
