Justice Clarence Thomas warned about the loss of legitimacy and breakdown in our institutions and the dire ramifications it could have for the country.

, a controversial plan to pressure lawmakers in a handful of states Trump lost to challenge the election results in the hopes of keeping Trump in office.Thomas did not address that controversy directly, and instead blamed the media — who he called “the tawdry people” — for inciting division.

“I don’t know how we are going to survive as a society if we continue to exalt people who have bad manners, are insulting and negative. This is a civil society, and you need civility to make it work,” Thomas said. If Friday night’s attendees were hoping to get a preview of some of the big decisions that the court will hand down later this year, say on abortion or gun rights, they were left wanting.

Stacking the court with Trump siccophants might be dire enough. It's the constitutional right of the president to expand the court, and I wouldn't mind watering down the alt-right judges.

Anita Hill was telling the truth and Thomas should have never been confirmed. Imagine telling her story in front of a committee of all men. Hatch was also wrong in dismissing her claims.

Gaslighter

Arsonist notes growing flames after hours of applying gasoline.

Him and his lovely wife are the reason the SCOTUS is political. We should impeach or recall this jerk!! It was obvious by the way he treated Anita Hill!!

Nice gaslighting dude. Why don’t you ask Ginni?

He needs to sit down and shut up. That’s what he needs to do.

Too late

It already happened under trump with Kavanaugh and ACB. This dude should have retired long ago and needs to be held accountable for his role in the 1/6 insurrection

Rich from someone who is willing to tear up any semblance of independence and kowtows to a treasonous wife

He's part of the reason. Alto is another, especially after his election district rulings this year. Gorusch and Barret's mere existence on the bench are more.

lol ironic.

what a farce. they're honestly pretending 4 years of Trump fascism didn't happen ?

“The Switch in Time that Saved Nine…”

He’s finally the top dog! Been there the longest, Roberts can’t control the right wing of the court. He is now drunk with power.

Perhaps his wife shouldn't have helped fund the Jan 6 insurrection.

If the toon fits….

Loss of legitimacy? How many times has he heard cases that Ginni is directly involved in

He is the cause of break down of legitimacy! He should step down for biased rulings and all the actions of his corrupt wife

Perhaps he should learn to read a room before pontificating on high.

Legitimacy was lost when Thomas got his seat

If he wasn't concerned about this during the last administration then it's obvious what this is about. Especially with his wife being involved in 1/6. Dude needs to retire or resign.

He does know that the Court has grown and shrunk many times in history, right? I mean, it used to have one justice per circuit. I think we should go back to that. But I think half should be R, half D, and the last one chosen by the other justices. 🤷🏼‍♀️

He exemplifies it

They’re wanting to kill women who have abortions so save me your warnings and dire ramifications bullshit. AbortionIsHealthcare ExpandTheCourt yourwifeisatraitor

He said all that while married to Ginni? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Legitimacy? If that’s his concern, he might be too late. The court is politicized and ideologically motivated already. It’s decisions don’t serve Justice, but political agendas, and HE is part of the problem.

Oh, the irony!

Truth

Thomas warns us about himself.

The SCOTUS lost legitimacy in 2000 when they put Bush in the White House after he lost the election. Citizens United and a host of other anti-democracy decisions added to the loss of legitimacy.

Hey guys, the guy who has worked tirelessly to destroy the legitimacy of the court is now worried about the legitimacy of the court. The most partisan of them all is worried about the court becoming partisan.

Irony and hypocrisy are not dead, they just became Republicans.

Clarence is hilarious. Loss of legitimacy…😂😂What we have seen in the last two years is proof that the court is not even hiding a political agenda. John has lost all control.

Says one who is so politically biased.. resign.

TFB. You’re bought, Thomas. Time to bring in legitimate judges.

He’s also the most unqualified and underwhelming Supreme Court Justice we’ve ever had.

That’s you and your wife doing that, bro

He contributed to what he complains about? Do you think Americans could forever stomach his weird amateurish understanding of the Constitution without repercussions?

That last paragraph is chilling…

He helped clear the path.

Lol. Ya. Lose of legitimacy.

Pubes on a coke can. 👀

Sounds more like a victory lap than a warning.

Thomas is the perfect Justice for a dictator.

What’s Thomas going to do about it? There’s only one way to regain the legitimacy of the Court.

Did he touch on the subject of his wife cosponsoring a coup?

Has he ever met Clarence or Virginia Thomas?

The same dude who's married to a seditionists ring leader? Gtfo

He’s a close second to Brett Kavanaugh as the worst Supreme Court Justice ever.

Conservatives only care about power. Don’t listen to these subhuman monsters; they’re only looking out for themselves.

Oh for gosh sakes. America is ALREADY on the brink!

Wah wah

Says a guy who's wife tried to overthrow the government.

Big shock to read the comments and see everyone in favor of packing the court and destroying our democracy.

Weird how they keep warning us about the things they’re going to do

He took part in America’s unraveling while he personally benefited. Anita Hill warned us what he is capable of.

For real?

He may want to have a word with his wife about not attacking the Capitol then.

He should resign, his wife was a key player in trying to overthrow the govt.

Like having a lobbyist on the Court?

Has he read his opinions?

Dude's doing a pretty good job of that himself.
