Clarence Thomas is unconstitutional. By his own originalist logic, he is only 3/5 of a human and should not be married to a white woman.
Fuck Clarence Thomas.
Is Clarence Thomas okay, like upstairs? Does he just go around pointing at random things and screaming "Unconstitutional!" ? Is "unconstitutional" in the room with us right now?
Artist's Rendition:
Fanart of artist rendition:
I have the sound of this stuck in my head now, thanks.
"The agency claims authority to regulate everything from a power lawnmower's design," he wrote, "to the level of 'contact between trainers and whales at SeaWorld.'"
I fail to see anything wrong with either thing like.. is he just mad it is not the people who sell lawn mowers should decide what's safe?? Please please please don't tell me Americans are going to dip to this new level of cognitive dissonance
Coming soon: the freedom to be maimed by corporations cutting corners on dangerous equipment design and safety equipment provision.
I wonder how much money his handlers paid for that position.
They got him cheap, the man is a bargain whore… actually, I take that back, I wouldn’t want to insult prostitutes.
I hope he finds a missing guard rail and falls to his death.
I hope he gets on a private jet with 5 other justices and some of his billionaire buddies for a trip to some tropical resort only for the plane to ~~get shot down through a president's official act~~ suddenly go down, totally unexpectedly.
The program for rolling back hard fought union victories is going full steam ahead.
I suppose the American worker could wake up to the reality that the protection against utter abuse for no pay didn't just appear out of thin air and that only their fellow worker can be relied upon to stick for them.
That is the plan. Clarence Thomas is owned by ~~billioners~~ parasites that want a feudalism system in their corporations.
Ah, but the police force got much better and stronger since back in those days so good look going back to protesting to get those rights back,
Plus splitting people over insane conspiracies keeps them weak and easier to control so Americans are less likely to stick together and fight the real enemy: the billionaires.
I assume soon we will be getting rid of the weekend and the 40-hour work week.
We're already letting children work jobs that maim and kill them again.
Of course! That's what family values are all about! Praise the lord and pass the ammunition!
Of course Clarence, the most openly corrupt, would be the one to dissent against the OSHA case. Clarence can go fuck himself
Just remember guys, the supreme court isn't corrupted by billionaires they just happen to only want to do things that benefit the ultra wealthy. The gifts from mega rich people to Thomas mean nothing.
ItS jUsT a cOiNcIdEnCe...
Just trying to bring it back to the good old days when children yearned for the mines, and men got blended up in industrial machinery.
Speaking of good old days, I think we should bring slavery back, but only for Clarence.

Working in the chemical industry, this statement is horrifying.

A fucking judge who sits on his ass all day, "interpreting" the constitution like he's some fucking oracle, wouldn't even begin to understand.
is unconstitutional
At this point I'm seeing a pattern. Any time someone good has to be removed so that pure evil shit can take it's place, the argument almost always includes at least "is unconstitutional"
Guys, GUYS! Your constitution.... Sucks. Same as your founding fathers. The US constitution is a document that was cool a few hundred years ago, but it is heavily outdated and at this point an actual new one really wouldn't be a bad idea. Yeah yeah, the original document doesn't suck, at least not in historic context, and definitely should be kept in a museum but stop effin quoting the damn thing as it it were Gods personao commandments. Get a new constitution for the 21st century.
Your founding fathers were okay, of course, but stop treating them as if they were infallible gods. They weren't. Im sure that for their time they were super smart and their ideas revolutionary, but that was centuries ago and a lot of their ideas no longer fly.
The right to bear arms (insert joke about bear arms) was written when an arm was a musket, that would take (a) minute(s) to load a single bullet that then could barely hit a target and had the penetration power of my penis. Now we have AR15's for children who can murder double digits other children through multiple walls within double digit seconds and basically half the country thinks this is perfectly fine and quotes that two hundred year old line as the infallible reason why.
It's okay. Your constitution WAS great hundreds of years ago and yeah, your founding fathers WERE awesome. They both live two hundred years away from the situation we face today. The world changed. The US changed. Science changed. Everything changed and got updated. Your constitution got a few updates but at this point could use a rewrite. You know, something healthy to start over fresh.
Rewriting the constitution is part of their plan but I very much doubt the changes they want to make are good for anyone but them.
Oh great. An old man who simply is getting rid of protections for average people because all he hears is how it hurts the profit margins of his good friends the uber wealthy.
We really are just heading to a split society of no class mobility and no real consideration of the poor from the rich.
And yet they wonder why the country is collapsing and people don't really want to have kids anymore.
They won't stop. By 2025 they will reinstate the crime of heresy. Mark my words.
It's a good thing NOBODY WHO WOULD POSSIBLY BENEFIT FROM THIS has given Thomas Gifts Bribes or ANYTHING to sway his Judgement!
Can we make people who vote for lack of safety regulations work affected jobs for about a year or so? How’d you think they’d vote then?
Wow I love reading about these wacky sovcits. They always say the most silly things.
Wait, what? WHO said that? Justice of which court?
This has always been a Republican dream. If people are not dying on the job are they really working hard enough?
Every little while ( more frequently these days) i hear the voice of Anita Hill in my head.
Anyone notice that the prez can have this guy killed with no consequences?
Thomas just wants everyone to be as miserable as him. Fuck the workers! Make them feel the pain! The rest of the conservative zombies aren't as addled as him though and realize they have to keep the facade of beneficial capitalism going until climate disasters kill us all. Then they'll cancel OSHA.
He's always been "that conservative" judge.
WTF does someone have on him that he has been so emboldened the last few years?
Judges shouldn't have agendas, just dockets.
TLDR: It may be unconstitutional in his opinion because of the Non Delegation Doctrine stemming from:
All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress...
Basically Congress can't just go and let the Executive branch do their job. The Executive can't make new laws only enforce the existing ones.
