breaking! Clarence Thomas speaks for the first time n 7 years

[Just_Believe18]

^ Do you have a citation that appropriately defines Originalism, and one that links to the belief system you are attributing Clarence Thomas to believe in? Your insistence that Thomas does not believe in a "Living Constitution" is contradictory to the fundamental change that the abolition of slavery was to the U.S. Constitution. It was the first time in American history, where one amendment literally crossed out the other.

Otherwise, I can only assume you're making this up as you go in your own interpretation of how you believe the U.S. Constitution should be followed, and an opinion of how you think Clarence Thomas views law.

Do you think anybody wanna see that YoutTube crap? You and Rareboy have this odd fixation with ramming white guys in Black-face down our throats. Nobody wants to see the pictures and we don't want to see the videos. Trying to sell this as a visual aid is not working.

Use your energy and your keyboard/mouse for something worth-while. Stop searching for that garbage. I'm starting to think it's a turn-on for the both of you.

I would have to say that you seem to be as thick as a block of cheese when it comes to understanding the purpose of me posting the picture of Al Jolson.

You seem to have no ability to understand context or to appreciate that when the pic is posted...it is a commentary on how the white guys (in the case you are referring to in my instance, they were Republicans trying to make themselves seem more 'black' by expressing their fondness for black music or black cuisine in order to appeal to the black voters) seem to think that being black in America means. For many of these crackers....their idea of blackness is something that white people can just paint on their face...or ideas....or institutions and that that will be good enough to pass for black or to satisfy the blacks that they are being represented.

And this is pretty much what they did with the Thomas appointment to the bench. Fortunately the times have changed and now that the US actually elected, a black president...hopefully these days of Uncle Tomming and window dressing are over.

But you seem to be tone deaf on this, as well as so many other things. This kind of stuff just seems to fly right over your head.

JB, the legal abolition of slavery in this country occurred due to a constitutional amendment (no cite needed...if you don't believe it, you look it up). This is not an example of a "Living Constitution", which implies Supreme Court Justices just deciding that they think the Constitution says x, y, or z because that is just how they feel. Originalists view the Constitution in light of how the issues were decided at the time they were decided.

Nice abs in your avat, by the way.
