The Case for Impeaching Clarence Thomas

Absolutely!!!

Violating the law done by Republicans is just dandy... that's because they do it all the time.

 

Please refer to the link in #419. Justice Thomas is not out of bounds in any way.

 

I was responding to this assertion: "Justice is not a 'corrupt partisan political system.'" OL

Again "justice" is just a word with a definition.

The American justice system is a political construct.
As such the system's ability to deliver justice is clearly rather arbitrary and capricious.

 

Legal experts disagree, I've run a number by you already.

Prof Tribe is one of the leading experts on Constitutional Law in the country, and he went so far as to call it a crime, a couple days ago.

And, as I said before, you are again faking it...

 

Mostly it's not partisan. There's one Trump ***** left, he's partisan as hell. But the reality is legal academics, legal historians, former prosecutors, and others are screaming at the Justice Dept to start indicting the top dogs that deserve indicting.

That's how hard the JD is trying to stay out of politics.

It's a serious subject, and deserves better.

 

Tribe has long been the go-to guy when progressives want to trash conservatives. He's a devalued currency.

 

Clear to you. Because you don't want to acknowledge the past and present instances when Thomas's recusal is would be called for if SCJ's adhered to the standard of ethics all other federal judges must follow.

 

There have been no such instances.

 

I can see why you don't like real experts.

 

Just like there's no climate change, we've seen your dance before..

You're fighting Rule of Law, you might want to ponder where that road ends.

 

On the contrary, I'm the one defending the rule of law against a partisan lynch mob.

 

There's a reason why he's never been seriously considered for the SCOTUS.

 

Same reason the other top academics don't get the nod.

Before Republicans went crazy, the process was bipartisan.

After they went nuts, well, they were nuts...

 

Most Dems in Congress are simply asking for him to recuse himself, and that's a lynch mob only among the ignorant or the crazy...

 

No one has been crazier than Dems smearing Kavanaugh. And the craziness began with Dems against Bork.

 

There is no basis for recusal.

 

IMO, the DOJ is mostly partisan.

Trump has always been progressive and bipartisan -- when he is not a Democrat.

 

Yeah, that you don't know what you're talking about is coming through loud and clear.

 

You keep making assertions you can't support.

Oh well..

 

There simply is no basis for recusal. I'm not the one who has to provide support for action.

 

The Kavenaugh hearings were mostly cordial when both Dems and GOP asked Kavanaugh legal questions about his philosophy. However, allegations of rape was being discussed. This rape allegation was, of irony, made by his friend, Mark Judge, who wrote the book, as a promotion, in similar manner as Chris Kyle made the allegation against Jesse Ventura, basically stated in not so many words that it was Matt Kavenaugh that raped the girl. Then that friend, under oath, said he had no recolation when he testified. But if you read the book, you get the idea of his friends, including Bart O Kavenaugh of sex, alcohol, and drug addiction. Hence the questions about rape by people who accused. However, the other irony, this type of rape allegation went about as most rape allegations among teenagers go, a he said/she said argument. Thus, even after all the questions of the rape allegation, it was litterly inconclusive legally, but people already made up their minds one way or the other before the first question was asked.

This is not saying that Justice Brett Kavenaugh is guilty, just not enough evidence to prove otherwise on way or the other. So far, he has not done as well for Conservatives as some would suggest, especially Trump who called Justice Kavenaugh extremely disappointed in his ruling that went against his lawsuits. So, I guess he is not loyal enough.

So Thomas should be above reproach because he's black?

Ridiculous!

 

It was just BS because they couldn't touch him on legal questions.
No allegation of drunken misbehavior by a teenager has any relevance to the adult he/she has become.

 

And most of the questions by GOP senators towards Judge Jackson were BS as well. And?

 

No. They asked her about her legal work. They may or may not have been good questions, but they were in bounds.
