Fat Harry calling someone else an ignorant asshole. Especially a Supreme
Court Justice.
I'm ROFL. YOU ARE A LOSER.
Clarence Thomas asked no questions during oral arguments for about 10
years. You, of course, have no idea what that says about an appellate
judge.
I suspect the reality is most of these cases are decided by the briefs
and not by direct testimony. The older justices depend a lot on what
their clerks tell them and the clerks may even write the decisions for
some of them.
We have elevated the expectations we place on drooling old senior
citizens to the absurd at the SCOTUS.
Maybe FDR was right when he called for the resignation of all justices
over 70. (part of his court packing scheme). I do suspect his picking
an arbitrary 70 had more to do with getting rid of a few Hoover,
Coolidge and Harding picks. I think only one of them actually
resigned. but several died.
Good grief. Thomas is a judicial dunce. There's just no one on the far
right, no matter how repugnant or incompetent, you won't support. I'm
really surprised you didn't vote for Trump. Oh, and I do agree that
justices should have a mandatory retirement age, say 75, when they
become emeritus and perhaps fill in temporarily for up to 30 days when
there is a significant vacancy somewhere. That sort of is the way on
federal appellate courts.
