Black Twitter gets @ Supreme Coon Clarence Thomas for voting against falsely convicted Black man...

[A Talented One]

This was such a clear-cut case that even the other conservatives on the court took the other side. Now even people who have some sympathy for Thomas are disappointed:

Where Thomas really made me sad was in his attitude toward the underlying issue of whether the conviction was tainted. He went through the black potential jurors excluded and systematically accepted the prosecutors' excuses for challenging them. He urged deference to the trial judge's judgment (!), and he discounted the documentary evidence, saying it wasn't clear who had highlighted or marked the black potential jurors' names on the list that was in the prosecutors' files.

To all this I can only say: Really?

@zzombie is this your hero too, along with Thomas Sowell?

 

[MarcusGarvey]

Any lawyers in here?

not surprised after reading the article.

Glenn Lowry who use to be a Thomas conservative once said that while other conservatives can have identity interests (i.e. Cuban conservatives for Cuba, women for women rights, Catholics/Jews etc), to remain in the public eye black conservatives must implicitly renounce black people altogether.

If this isn't clear-cut evidence that Supreme Court Justice need term limits, then there may never be any. People can just hand down the most egregious decisions which can literally determine if someone lives or dies, and face no real repercussions for it.

SCOTUS judges need a max of 15 years to serve on the bench, after that, it's time to get new minds that will acclimate with the times.

this....

and crazy we still allow attorneys to strike down jurors because someone 'is unemployed' or 'a single mother' or 'has a brother in prison' or 'only has high school diploma'

should be one of the top civil rights issue of our time...

No they don't. Then they would truly be on some agenda driven shit which will change the fabric of Constitutional law every generation. What happens if you get a gang of racist white supremacist on the High Court and they decide to overturn the Civil Rights Act leaving it up to the states to decide whether or not they want to enforce Civil Rights laws, or just out-and-out have muthafuckas on some Plessy shit? Then you have situation where it will again be legal to disenfranchise black people for "x" number of years until the you get the issue comes before the Court again, assuming it does come before the Court again. You need stability in your judiciary, (especially in the federal judiciary,) and you can have the laws of the land changing every 20 years or so.

Even though, Jefferson, Madison, Washington, Hamilton'em were racist white supremacists who subjected black people to all kinds of savagery and human indignities, they were on point when it came to there ideas on republicanism, liberty, how to run the government and the system of checks and balances.

and crazy we still allow attorneys to strike down jurors because someone 'is unemployed' or 'a single mother' or 'has a brother in prison' or 'only has high school diploma'

should be one of the top civil rights issue of our time...

You do know that both sides get to pick jurors, right?

 

[Copper]

And they got a road in Savannah named after this shit.

 

[Copper]

And they can make these life altering (or ending) decisions and never have to speak on it

sure

your point?

a peremptory jury selection system encourages and permit the use of stereotypes, largely at the expense of minorities

This ole "Mantan" silverback, Gullah geechee, self-hating ass nog-nig!!

Antonin Scalia's favorite butt-boy is still following his master's script. How you the ONLY justice to vote against the ruling, and you the only black dude on the bench??

This guy is a joke and embarrassment to himself.

 

[Focal Point]

Like he cares about black twitter

 

[Swiffness!]

@zzombie is this your hero too, along with Thomas Sowell?

Thomas Sowell agrees with every RW racist talking point about white ppl being under siege and @zzombie still capes for that coon smfh

 

[Billy_Poncho]

Was hoping he'd change for the better when Scalia died, guess not

I used to work at the Supreme Court.

This dude is a conservative hack. His wife (fat pasta-eating white woman) is in the leadership hierarchy of the tea party.

While I was there, I never saw one black law clerk in his chambers.

The definition of a sellout is when you stand on the shoulders of black people (Thurgood Marshall) and they throw you a rope to get over the wall. Then once you get over the wall, you refuse to throw it back over to help others like yourself to get over it.

In other words, "every successful black sellout was apparently born in a log cabin that they built themselves."
