    Awww, whatsa matter little Clarence? You can dish it but not take it?

    In a conversation with his law clerks two years following his confirmation, The New York Times reported Thomas expressed his desire to serve on the court until the year 2034.

    “The liberals made my life miserable for 43 years,” a former clerk remembered Thomas – who was 43 years old when confirmed – saying, according to The New York Times. “And I’m going to make their lives miserable for 43 years.”

    It’s hideous because of corrupt, partisan people like you, Thomas! You should retire, collect the $1 million dollars per year for life from John Oliver, and let someone with ethics take your place…

      That offer expired. He’ll need to buy his own new motor coach now or talk to his billionaire friends

        John just appeared on Late Night with Seth Meyers and said he still has and would honor the original contact he has. As long as Thomas retires before the fall…

    Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas told his law clerks in the ‘90s that he wanted to serve for 43 years to make liberals’ lives ‘miserable’

    And I can’t wait to do a nice little jig on Thomas’ grave when that piece of shit dies. This court is entirely illegitimate.

      This is just a cry from Thomas for more payola from his concerned “friends”.

    I’m sure he could just retire and hang with his billionaire besty full time and he’d totally still be invited

      Like most Americans, he’s hanging on to the position because of the “benefits”.

      Nah, those billionaire besties wouldn’t pee on him if he was on fire if he retired. They wouldn’t have any use for him then.
