It is true that justices of the Supreme Court should protect the constitution and the interest of the generality of American people. However Clarence being the only African American in the court in addition to his responsibility to the constitution and to all Americans, like his peers also showcases the face, the intellectual ability and capability of his race and of his familiarly. It is very shameful and disgraceful that Thomas has sat years in this deliberative body and has neither exercised nor displayed his power of deliberative reasoning. In fact oral argument and logical legal argument are more important and intellectually superior to individual opinion or vote in the Court. Thomas deferred oral argument and questions to his superior, the conservative mentor or master if I may add, Scalia; no wonder he has sided with Scalia almost 100% of the time. This Thomas’ Supreme Court methodology only supports the erroneous stereotype about the intellectual inferiority of the black person. You bet, Neo-Con love Thomas’ stodginess, the stodginess Malcolm called, house ‘negrating,’ if you will
Antonin the legal genius sitting on the line on the precipice
As for Antonin Scalia I definitely agree that he is legally smart but he knows this and always want to show or prove his jurisprudence prowess. However, Scalia’s self knowledge of great legal abilities is a problem because like all egoists and megalomanias Scalia unavoidably exaggerates and projects his self importance and legal wizardry. Antonin’s ego coupled with his animosity towards Democratic criticism and opposition (though minimal) to his appointment to the court, has caused Scalia to bring public disdain and mistrust of this Court. This behavior unbecoming of a Supreme Court jurist has made Scalia a danger to the constitutional order of the United States of America. Instead of practicable and pragmatic interpretation of the constitution Antonin have consistently indulged in legal expedition but have woefully failed to prove that today is the eighteenth century. Mr. Scalia, your ego is very irritating and becoming unbearable.
