Color me thick, but I just realized how much the six Injustices on the Supreme Court are motivated by stark, brain-freezing terror of a caricature of the rest of us, supposedly out to destroy all real freedom and liberty in the name of human rights. In fact, that’s what the Federalist Society picks them for.
Law schools and the legal profession are currently strongly dominated by a form of orthodox liberal ideology which advocates a centralized and uniform society. While some members of the academic community have dissented from these views, by and large they are taught simultaneously with (and indeed as if they were) the law.
Justice Clarence Thomas, U.S. Supreme Court, said
“[T]his organization has played an important part in sparking a dialogue between lawyers and judges, and even at times amongst judges themselves...by assiduously avoiding the temptation to take positions, or to lobby and engage in political advocacy. Resisting that temptation takes discipline, I am sure, but rest assured that you have made the right choice and are providing a genuine and unique service in so doing. Stay the course!”
I am not going to try to count the lies in that statement. Most of us here are somewhat aware of how much they lied in their Senate confirmation hearings.
We know how Thomas came to loathe the NAACP and all actions to assist African-Americans with the systemic racism in US society, especially Affirmative Action. We also know that he was put on the Supreme Court as a reward for quashing all enforcement when he headed the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
I need to study the others in more detail, and report to you on them all.
