Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas filed a solo opinion Tuesday that should appeal to President Trump. He said the high court should make it easier for public officials to sue the press for libel.

Didn’t he rape someone?

B.S.

Does this mean fake news will be illegal?

Of course he does

Crazy dope needs to depart.

😂😂😂😂😂😁

Sounds great. In balance Dems will win. Imagine the suits against hannity

He's a coconut

Vendetta from a justice?

Wow, big surprise here.

Thank you George H Bush for appointing a truly wise judge. Let the games begin. Better lawyer up LA Crimes 😂😂😂

It should be. You 🤡🤡🤡's would be bankrupt because of your actions.

He should not be on the bench!

Could this be because he was also in the papers for sexual harassment as a new judge? Of course.

Gee,,,,,,that would be YOU !,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,KaaaaaaBoooom

So let’s try to libel this asshole. He’s unqualified. He’s a sex abuser. He’s an intellectual nothing. He’s lame. I’ll affirmatively aver truth as a defense.

Lol this is another pig the Republicans stand behind.

Yeah baby ! He's got a buddy in 'I-Like-Beer' Kavanaugh now. BirdsOfAFeather

Of course he man who got away with violating Anita Hill would side with another misogynist. Not making his reputation or legacy any better.

BAMAJACK59 How about Anita Hill suing you for sexually harassment?

Justice Thomas's Opinion -is right on the Spot--Not when Media States - something Wrongly - But When they Intentionally State-What they -'know'=is Defamatory -toward -'any' Public Official fr Towns to Federal--Have been TOO MANY -that- After Election loss--were UNTRUE

Good!

Someone tell me how this guy got on the Supreme Court, and better yet, why he's still there. Ok, maybe it's just me, but...

I didn’t know Justice Thomas had opinions. He doesn’t participate on any real level.

Of course he did. The press crossed him with the truth too.

Just as the Sandman kid sues for $250mil

💯 accountability is key

I guess this is the result of he and Ginny having dinner at the WH !

I’ve been thinking that’s what all the bezos/enquirer bullshit is about.

We all should sue them for this . . for the collusion among them all in pushing a divisive hate narrative on the American people: And, instead of doing their job, they do it time and time again. Imagine them treating Bill Clinton as they did Thomas

Well - that should appeal to us all.

YEAH THIS GUY IS A CLOWN HE SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN APART OF THIS SYSTEM MANY DO KNOW HE IS A SEXUAL HARASSER MANY DON'T KNOW HE IS MARRIED 2 A BUSH HE IS NOT 4 WE THE PEOPLE HE SEEMS 2 HAVE AN AGENDA AND IT'S NOT ABOUT THE BENEFIT OF PROTECTING FREE PRESS FREE SPEECH

Uncle Thomas should never have made it to the Court. And Joe Biden and democrats controlled the Senate and allowed Thomas to get democratic votes.

What does Mr. Trump have on him?

HUSH YO MOUFF Mr Honorable Justice !!Esq. Get back to work on the 'real' business of the Supreme Court of the United States 🇺🇸The press did not stop 🛑 you from getting your job

At this point supreme Court has lost its legitimacy. Officially now a banana republic

Thomas' financial retirement package from Putin/Trump same as Kennedy?

Oh when his day come there will big family cook out in the black community!!

Clarence Thomas should not even be on the Court. S Ct justices can be impeached, surely Clarence has done something that can be viewed as an impeachable offense. Dems need to be proactive.

Thomas is assaulting our press now, just like he assaulted AnitaHill. He should not be on that court!

About time.

Public 'officials'? No, public figures.

He's a liar and a sex offender. He should have NEVER been confirmed. That's a huge scar on America.JusticeThomas

Why would that appeal to Trump? His Twitter acct alone would lead to 100 libel suits a week AGAINST HIM

Coming from someone who’s had to deal with the press because of his inappropriate behavior? Surprised Beer Boy and Die in the Snow dudes aren’t behind this too.

anitahill

Thomas is a disgrace.

Just public officials? Libel and slander are legally actionable for all Americans.

This guy

That is BULLSHIT!

Anita Hill...

Clarence Thomas echoes Trump, suggests Supreme Court revisit landmark First Amendment case on libel lawThomas could be creating a way to 'open up' libel laws, like President Donald Trump has suggested. Looks one step from the end Congress needs to investigate his wife's conflict of interest as a lobbyist. Yeah...except for the part where Trump swore an oath to the Constitution and directly violates that oath every time he attacks the free press. Oath-sworn elected officials don't have the same rights as civilians, famous or otherwise.
