toward women? Even starting with his confirmation hearings and horrible utterances toward Anita Hill. His horrible comments all the way along the abortion dispute, from Roe v Wade to Dobbs v Jackson Women's Health. Yet, so much surprise at his comments today toward trans athletes and trans people in general...
And, yet, there is surprise at the dehumanizing attitude toward trans people? Really? Given he thinks women are not even approaching men in equality and would undoubtedly vote to overturn the 19th amendment if given enough years on the court and the right case, I am a bit incredulous that he continues to be given benefit-of-the-doubt. Of course there were never the overwhelming alliances for women's rights--including abortion, that should have been there over the decades, with many (not all) thinking it was a "woman's issue" and thus their fight to bear. Well, is this going to be the way of the future with minority rights? "They" are on their own? Whether trans people, LGBQ people, immigrants or women. None of us is equal in the minds of someone like Thomas, whose own features that would make him unequal in the minds of many white men everywhere does not even register with him.
And the final irony--my disdain for Clarence Thomas--much deserved and earned--would undoubtedly have me on the receiving end of RW claims of "racism" if I ever uttered them loudly and publicly or stated such at his retirement or funeral.
This country will celebrate a few of these decisions and the MSM will focus on the "rational" ones. But there is real damage from the others, including the gift case to Trump that all but eliminates the power of independent agencies to protect the public against a willful tyrannical authoritarian President (Trump vs Slaughter).
