“That Trump is able to do it -- that the US is the only country in history to allow a coup to go unpunished and a seditionist to run for president again -- is due to Garland, the DOJ, and their accomplices in Congress."

Your reminder that Thomas perjured himself in his 1991 hearings. He was addicted to porn as confirmed by a girlfriend some years later. He clearly harassed Anita Hill. And he is clearly an evil little shit. So is his wife
Clarence Thomas, concurring, explicitly calls on the Supreme Court to overrule Griswold (right to contraception), Lawrence (right to same-sex intimacy), and Obergefell (right to same-sex marriage).
