The guy deserves abuse because he's a liar and a crook, not because he's conservative. He and his wife have made lots of money from SCOTUS decisions that Thomas should have been recused from, including the despicable Citizens United case. He also has ignored legal disclosure requirements regarding gifts and income that he and his wife have received. He's been appropriately referred to as an "ethics problem in a robe".
I'm certainly not one to play the game of "this politico didn't profit off their position" as I have no doubt that Thomas has used whatever is at his means to advance his goals. Much like Obama and any other politico in the District. That's how it works whether you're a d or an r.
You do know how courts work right?...and how judges must be impartial, right? ...and how they need to follow the laws, right?

Where did you get that nonsensical straw man? Made it up out of thin air as usual?
You said he "diss"ed Obama, implying that Thomas crossed some sort of line, as though black people are supposed to be in lock-step with one another.
You got the "You said he "diss"ed Obama" part right. The remainder of your sentence is made up BS that in no way reflects anything I believe but apparently is how you read between the nonexistent lines.
