THINK He should stop taking Trump's calls at night.

THINK Obviously the entire lying media is against this, having to be able to prove a story true before running it. OMG how could they spread lies and disinformation? This may truly be the way to solve the country's problems turn it over Justice Thomas.

THINK What’s Trump got on him

THINK Any word on reparations yet?

THINK We really don't care what opinion he has, written or verbal.

THINK Do better Justice Thomas.

THINK Legally speaking, what would it take to show the nytimes showed actual malice in reporting stories from the false tips of anonymous sources who mean only to harm the president?

THINK Protection of the free press is a must. I’m not worried about the obsessively partisan main stream guys, but the small areas where journalist integrity still exists.

THINK overturning NYT vs Sullivan would be karma long over due for bringing in Anita Hill to railroad Thomas with baseless allegations the same way they tried to with Kavanaugh

THINK JusticeThomas a right leaning SCOTUS and realDonaldTrump make 1A PressFreedom and NYTimes v Sullivan more important than ever. I think CJRoberts understands this.

THINK I encourage my workmates to not microwave fish but that doesn’t mean they will do so.

THINK On the contrary. It should only be of concern to the purveyors of FakeNews

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.

GFY msnbc Here we go, realDonaldTrump can't suppress the FREE press so he gets and Uncle Tom for a shoulder to cry on.
