What a joke, he's an enemy of human rights.
Clarence "Uncle" Thomas?
How many luxury RVs are they paying him?
I fully expect his lesson plan to include calling MLK Jr. the n-word along with a song and dance number about how segregation was "Kinda based actually."
I would like to refer to the ancient adage of "Skinfolk ain't always kinfolk". I would like to submit this picture in particular as the photograph in its dictionary entry. All in favor?
I have another question, is being on SCOTUS a part time job?
The conservative supreme court has continuously reduced its caseload. It has become a pretty fake job under the current court who only seems engaged in rubber stamping for their political party.
It's more like a hobby it seems.
A lucrative side-hustle.
Always has been
I get it, but it sounds like the "teaching" gig is more of a junket
He will be on campus for two hours every morning for one week in February.
I'd like like to get an all-expense-paid trip somewhere warm and only have to work 2 hours a day....
Yeah, it is just part of the "more free money and stuff for the wealthy"-program.
It is amazing how much money and free stuff the wealthy gets thrown at them just for being wealthy.
Being rich is so affordable. And being poor is so expensive.

Aren't they always denying cases because they don't have time ?
The caseload alone justifies expanding the court.

Wouldn't he be better suited for courses like "Civil Wrongs" or "Corruption 101"?
He has his so screw yours black folk.
No matter your race, colour of skin you can be corrupt and be safe from any repercussions. What is more DEI than that.
What next? Netanyahu lecturing on equality? Trump lecturing at MENSA?
Is he going to talk about the friends he turned in to the FBI when he pretended he was fighting for Civil Rights?
or about the civil rights hes tried so hard to take away from people in exchange for an RV
Bill Clinton to teach about Monogamy at University of Arkansas
Donald Trump to teach ethics
Floyd Mayweather to teach literature
RFK Jr and Kid Rock will be hosting AA and Narcotics Annon meetings.
Elon will be teaching economics.
Steven and Katie Miller start teaching compassion and empathy classes
Pete Hegseth will teach leadership classes (haha this one is probably already real)
Kash Patel will teach a course in standing up to authoritarian figures who you admire to an alarmingly sychophantic degree
Alex Jones becomes a professor in unbiased critical thinking
I can already teach his class for him. Here is how civil rights work, courtesy of Clarence Thomas:
- Get invited to the supreme court.
- You get to decide what civil rights are, and what they aren't.
- Make them up as you go, however you please.
That's clearly what he's learned from his own experiences, it would be dishonest for him to teach anything else.
Maybe he could just die instead.
Well he would be an expert, he's helped take away most of them.
Course is 1 credit hour, 30 mins once every other week. And it's just phone calls of his wife telling him how to vote.
Clarence Thomas is a Peter-Principled mediocrity who convinced himself that going to Yale somehow closed more doors than it opened for him, and ironically he let that bitterness turn him from a promising, if rigid, attorney into the exact kind of token he feared people saw him as. We are therefore subject to a naive and inflexible judicial philosophy that somehow always breaks in favor of whatever nonsense the Republican party wants, and he's so scarred by his own self-defeating choices that he sees no issue in running a grift to get the money he thinks he deserves.
He wasn't born to be a monster, but he sure made himself one. He'd be a tragic figure if he weren't fucking over the entire country in real life.
Well said.
Uncle Tom’s Introduction to Civil Rights (and how to keep uppity black folk in line)
Correction: Uncle Ruckus
how to put your pubes on your coke can, to Sexually harrass one of your interns no doubt. and also to hate people of your own race/demographic/"left" for not supporting your poor career path or lack therof.
Did Joe Rogan open up another Comedy Mothership location on UT campus?
Where of course he'll stand firmly on the "opposed" side of the discussion, as he has in his time as a justice
I hope every student hits him with the hard ball questions that he's never had to actually face in his comfy little ivory tower. Repeatedly remind him he's a piece of shit hypocrite.
How will he teach civil rights? We're not allowed to talk about anything that might make white people feel bad. How does one teach about the 19th amendment without discussing gender?
