Justice Clarence Thomas = Trump Savior?

Spread The Love

Don’t look now, but Donald Trump may have a secret weapon/savior/ace-in-the-hole to help him fight his legal woes — and it just so happens to be US Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.

Politics :
Donald Trump’s recent pleas to the Supreme Court are highly calculated, particularly since Trump appointed 3 of them who are all Trump sympathizers. Now, according to MSNBC’s Mehdi Hasan, the high court and, particularly Justice Clarence Thomas, could be Trump’s saving grace regarding the US Department of Justice’s classified documents investigation.

“After Trump workshopped a number of outlandish lies, including the claim that the FBI planted the top secret documents at Mar-a-Lago, he decided to do what he always does: sue,” Hasan said. “So he went judge shopping to see if he could find a sycophant within our justice system who would tie themselves into legal knots to give him the outcome, the cover he wanted. And it paid off,” the journalist continued. 

“Trump was assigned right wing Judge Aileen Cannon, whom he himself appointed and who was confirmed by the Senate after he lost the last election. Cannon, a Federalist Society member, you’ll be shocked to hear, quickly went to work dismantling basic legal logic on behalf of the guy who put her on the bench.

“Now, the government appealed that ruling, which legal experts called ‘laughably bad’ and ‘untethered from the law.’ And a Federal Court of Appeal seemed to agree, essentially blocking part of it from taking effect. But Trump was not satisfied with getting most of what he wanted.

“So, he put his lawyers to work again; this time appealing all the way to the Supreme Court. In fact, the appeal was written in such a narrow and specific way, constitutional law professor Steve Vladeck posited, quote, ‘Trump demanded that his lawyers take this case to the Supreme Court, and they found the one argument they could make that was not factually or legally frivolous.’

“Now, you might be asking why Donald Trump wanted to take this case all the way to the Supreme Court. Well, there is this wonky rule on the Supreme Court,” Hasan explained, “where individual justices handle emergency appeals from specific district courts, and the justice overseeing the 11th Circuit, whose decision Trump is appealing, is none other than Justice Clarence Thomas.

“Now, in addition to being arguably the most conservative justice on the court, Thomas is also the husband of far-right activist Ginny Thomas, who, in addition to pushing bonkers QAnon conspiracy theories to Trump White House officials, also personally worked to try and help facilitate Trump’s attempted coup, including participating directly in that possibly criminal fake electorate scheme.”

So, it appears that Donald Trump’s ride all the way to the US Supreme Court was designed to get Justice Clarence Thomas — the lone justice in charge of Trump’s 11th Circuit district in Florida — to do him a solid and help him get out of jail free.

Stay tuned…

Which will undoubtedly result in doing even more tremendous damage to the U.S. Supreme Court’s reputation than that court’s recent rulings already have! 

As per all the reporting that I’ve heard/and read – public confidence in the U.S. Supreme Court has plummeted to an historic LOW as a result of their right wing overeach which has alarmed and outraged the majority of Americans. 

Clarence Thomas has the power to intervene on behalf of Trump. But will he?

So then on this matter, the two main questions I have concerning Clarence Thomas are …. 

Does Clarence give a fig about the reputation of the U.S. Supreme Court? 

Does Clarence give a fig a about his own place in history?

I have to say this – I watched Steve Kroft’s entire “60 Minutes” interview of Clarence Thomas years ago, back in 2007 to be exact. Clarence, imo, has some serious “isssues.”  

And now we know that the man is married to woman who ALSO has some serious “issues.” The woman played a major role in trying to overthrow our govement for crying out loud! Why she hasn’t been indicted already is due to one reason and one reason only. She’s the wife of sitting U.S. Supreme Court Justice. Clarence Thomas.

But I digress.

To answer my own questions…..

Does Clarence give a fig about the reputation of the U.S. Supreme Court? 

No. I don’t believe so.

Does Clarence give a fig a about his own place in history?

Again, no. I don’t believe he does.

BUT…We shall see.

60 Minutes: Clarence Thomas: The Justice Nobody Knows

Mr.BD

If this happens there will be no more confidence in the Supreme Court ever. This will confirm the court is political like congress is. But it already is, this will just confirm it.

Mr.BD

I hope they investigate Ginny Thomas for trying to overthrow the government and put her butt under the jail. Then I hope they impeach Clarence for being corrupt. Neither one of them should see freedom again.

CNN:

The Supreme Court on Thursday rejected an emergency request from former President Donald Trump to intervene in the dispute over classified documents seized from his Mar-a-Lago estate in August.

Trump had asked the justices to reverse a federal appeals court and allow a special master to review about 100 documents marked classified, a move that could have opened the door for his legal team to review the records and argue that they should be off limits to prosecutors in a criminal case.

But in a brief order, the court denied the request.

This story is breaking and will be updated.

Hey Wil, thanks for this breaking news update!

This IS really good news!

I’m curious – was it a unanimous decision? Or did Clarence Thomas or anyone else for that matter vote in favor of Trump?

If it’s a unanimous decision, then THAT does say something!

Mr.BD

I was just about to comment on the breaking news. Then I saw Wil had posted it like he is good at doing.

Mr.BD

Does the Supreme Court read Ok Wassup? Because I had just said earlier the court will lose all credibility if they help Trump with this politically. Somebody on the court must have realized they would lose in the end if they did not play fair.
