Supreme Court justice Clarence Thomas "outraged" after nephew was tased.

[catdd]

Not even close. Thomas has clout and will no doubt use same. Somebody's head will roll.

Meanwhile, we mere mundanes may be tazed, beaten, raped and murdered with something approaching impunity.

That makes sense, but I'm reminded of when a Berwyn Heights Mayor's home was raided...

What an ignorant post.

Did your guilty conscience get the best of your post trying to formulate an intelligent reply when omitting any reason it is an ignorant post?

Every invasion of individual rights happens with the eager support of people acting in the sincere and thoroughly mistaken confidence that what they permit the state to do to others will never be done to themselves. Or in this case relatives.

Maybe Clarence Thomas will set policy with the Imperialists for, immunity to all Federal Government Employee Blood Lines.

Welcome to the Amerika you have helped create Clarence.

Clarance is one of the better Justices no? probably bad on gitmo but most things he's good.

remember- they didn't start decriminalizing marijuana until politician's kids were getting arrested for it.

haha.... So if the politician's friends and families get busted for a myriad of drugs the drug war will end =p?

Do you know anything about Clarence Thomas? Clarence Thomas is the de facto originalist on the Court.

though Thomas has already supported States' rights on this issue (medical marijuana case in California, I think was the issue).

gives me an idea.

 

[squarepusher]

well, if his nephew really was trying to commit suicide, do you think he then should have been detained?

Yes.

Yeah he sucked on Gitmo. Believe or not Scalia is the best judge on that issue.

Basically Scalia's view is if the combatant is an American citizen you either have to charge him with treason or give him the same rights any other citizen would charged with any other crime.

Thomas dissent in the Kelo case (eminent domain) was great.

And both have given decisions on other cases that sucked. But they don't suck any worse than anybody else on the court.

 

[jmdrake]

AS long AS he establishes leagal precedent i dont care what he does

if they can have tasers, i want a lightsaber!

There is a case (if it hasn't been rejected already) that would give him the opportunity to do just that.

Of course he would be under stiff pressure to recuse himself.

This shows why there is still hope of restoring the Constitution.

When the Mandarin class can insulate themselves and their relatives from reality, then the situation is hopeless. When the relatives still have to deal with the reality the ruling class has created, the rulers occasionally have to live with the consequences.

Since the elite believe that the laws and normal procedures that are applied to the sheep don't apply to them, he will go down, fetch his nephew, and nothing will come of this, nothing beneficial to us anyway.
