I just wish people would quit repeating his lies. You just end up helping him spread them by reporting on the BS that he says.

i think what he meant by disrespectful is that she expected to be treated as an equal, rather than an inferior.
how dare she?

He didn't mean anything logical by it. He made it up to plant a seed of an idea so there is an excuse to not like her. That's all. Propoganda 201/KGB psyops/Hitler playbook.

The only disrespect I saw was Graham having meltdowns and storming out of the room like a pouty little brat - twice.

Just feeding a racist lunch to his base that all nodded in unison. In the meantime Justice Thomas is showing HE should no longer be on the bench and should resign.

I'm a little late to the party here so I'll put in my 2 cents worth. If I get arrested for a crime and need a lawyer, I'll look for one that has 30+ years of experience. I want someone who can say rightfully to another lawyer "I've forgotten more than you have ever known". Now lets be clear. I don't care what color, religion or sex the noninatee is. Major judicial experience is the key. The hearings were not like the hardball grilling the Dems did for Justice Thomas and Kavanaugh. They were Trumps picks. Never Trump mentality. I was looking for the shoe to be on the other foot with this hearing.

Sure you were. Now let’s do this. Please comment on Justice Thomas and his wife’s behavior re: Jan. 6th. Don’t you think he should resign? She is part of the team trying to overthrow our democracy.

Kavanaugh was a probable sexual assaulter when he was young. Justice Thomas was a pick of senior Bush. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump_Supreme_Court_candidatesThey are not asking pertinent questions most of the time from the Republican side. They are posturing for votes. Define a woman? Do you think that's a softball question and something any justice on the court needs to do?

Using your metrics, you should have thought Barrett was not qualified.

Thomas was accused of sexual harassment as well by Anita Hill. I believed Ms. Hill thrn and do so to this day and I would never, ever accept a can of soft drink from him - not that there is any chance he would offer me one but I am just saying. He should never have passed or even have gotten started on the confirmation process

Sure you were. Now let’s do this. Please comment on Justice Thomas and his wife’s behavior re: Jan. 6th. Don’t you think he should resign? She is part of the team trying to overthrow our democracy. The wife thing is just noise. Anything to attack Trump. More of the never Trump crap. Still seething over Trumps win in 2016. She's entitled to her opinions. Justice Thomas after years of marriage knows how to separate his professional life from his personal life like any other married couple. I was on a jury years ago on a drunk driving charge with a death and my wife talked about it and her opinions didn't sway me. We weighed the facts and rendered a just verdict. I'm sure Judge Thomas does the same.

Then ok with that Supreme Court justice participating in cases related to that coup. And you call yourself an American. The only legitimacy the Supreme Court has is by the appearance of impartiality and honesty. Anything that takes away from that appearance is damaging. Clarence Thomas, through his silence and the outrageous behavior of his wife damages that legitimacy. Too bad you can’t see that

I guess RW media believes sexual predators are fine as long as they pick on adults.

The fact that she and Mark Meadows were conspiring is the crime. The fact that it was to help Trump steal an election is somewhat incidental. Its the fact she and he were willing to steal an election on someone's behalf. That her husband was the only dissenting opinion and it appears he did so because he wanted to protect his wife. You are so programmed. I'm against crimes to destabilize our democracy. Try to move into reality. This is about all the people who worked on stealing the election from the voters in 2020.

I'm sure Judge Thomas does the same. I'm guessing your RW media echo chamber is so lame they don't let you know this is not about her opinion, it is about crimes she has committed herself. Ginni Thomas crimes, an incomplete list- At least two counts of voter fraud for registering herself and her husband for voting in a state they no longer lived in. Using an address of a property they never owned. (You should be yelling Lock Her Up now.) Conspiring to subvert election results with Mark Meadows. Apparently she has done more meddling, which coming to light- www.yahoo.com/news/inside-ginni-thomas-insane-hiring-090040553.htmlYears before she became one of then-President Donald Trump’s most prominent coup supporters, Ginni Thomas was already notorious in his West Wing for, among other things, ruining staffers’ afternoons by working Trump into fits of vengeful rage.
“We all knew that within minutes after Ginni left her meeting with the president, he would start yelling about firing people for being disloyal,” said a former senior Trump administration official. “When Ginni Thomas showed up, you knew your day was wrecked.”
She often came armed with written memos of who she and her allies believed Trump should hire for plum jobs—and who she thought Trump should promptly purge—that she distributed to Trump and other high-ranking government officials.
The fire lists were particularly problematic, as they were frequently based on pure conjecture, rumor, or score-settling, where even steadfastly MAGA aides were targeted for being part of the “Deep State” or some other supposedly anti-Trump coalition, according to people who saw them during the Trump administration. The hire lists were so often filled with infamous bigots and conspiracy theorists, woefully under-qualified names, and obvious close friends of Thomas that several senior Trump aides would laugh at them—that is, until Trump would force his staff to put certain names through the official vetting process, three sources familiar with the matter said.
