Justice Clarence Thomas asked a question for the first time in 3 years. Here's why:

Thomas, only the second African-American justice in US history, has gone for years at a stretch without asking a question, including a full decade, from 2006 to 2016. On the occasions his voice has been heard, it has often related to race but with a counterintuitive thrust, as occurred in the new dispute over a Mississippi prosecutor's repeated elimination of blacks from a jury pool.

Wednesday morning, Thomas again went against the emphasis of the majority as he abandoned his usual reluctance to enter the fray. On Wednesday, most of the justices expressed concern about a prosecutor with a history of discriminating against black jurors who had been called for the murder trial of Curtis Giovanni Flowers. The question was whether he had engaged in the practice yet again, at Flowers' sixth trial.

That's the Bush/Reagan stain in the underpants of AAs. I expect the same from the HUD stain and the reality show stain that we begged to shut the f*ck up¡!!!!!

I can't help thinking about his pathetic confirmation hearings. He was and still is a rude awakening for America. The GOP was have been involved with fix since then.

BarneysNose When we take back the Senate and the whitehouse, we need to address him and Kavanaugh. Both should be impeached in my opinion.

Just saying.

Please pray for me to get the opportunity to Write, Act and Direct one philanthropic Movie produced by Bill Gates to motivate our Kids & Youth. With GOD's grace I don't have any of the bad habits mentioned in my Tweet so I can do it.

Probably because his wife told him to.
