Clarence Thomas says American citizens are seemingly 'more interested in their iPhones' than 'their Constitution': book

In his latest book, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, laments that more Americans are not attuned to the United States' Constitution. Justice Thomas also states his belief that Americans spend too much time on their iPhones.

Why hasn't Clarence Thomas had this conversation with his wife, Ginni?

Ginni Thomas saw overturning Biden's win as a "Constitutional duty"

On November 9, 2020, Ginni Thomas sent an e-mail to the Arizona Speaker of the House, Russell Bowers, which said, "Please do your Constitutional duty!", and choose a "clean slate of electors." Bowers testified before the January 6th Committee last week. According to a full copy of the e-mail that Ginni Thomas sent to Speaker Bowers, she wrote that,

"Article II of the United States Constitution gives you an awesome responsibility: to choose our state's Electors. This means you have the power to fight back against fraud and ensure our elections are free, fair and honest."

Ginni Thomas further added that,

"This responsibility is yours and yours alone -- it doesn't rest with any Board of Elections, Secretary of State, Governor or even court. And it certainly doesn't rest with the media."

However, Ginni Thomas and her interpretation of the United States Constitution is wrong.

Article II of the Constitution states that every state "shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress."

Choosing a State's Electors is a two part process.

1) The political parties in each State choose slates of potential electors sometime before the general election.

2) During the general election, the voters in each State select their State's electors by casting their ballots.

While some state legislatures chose electors in the past, nowadays, voters are responsible for that process. Article II of the Constitution does NOT grant legislators with that responsibility as Ginni Thomas asserted.

In order to have written a book chastising other Americans for being ignorant of the United States Constitution and for spending too much time on their phones, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas must not have a single shred of self-awareness about him. His activist wife, spent close to 3 months on her phone from November of 2020 until January of 2021, sending literally thousands of e-mails and text messages to various federal, state and local officials, where she frequently encouraged them to take action that they did not have the power to take under the United States Constitution.

Yes, but lawmakers at the time were exclusively white in the state of Virginia. It is not making a big leap to assign racial animus among them, as a motive behind their law, even when they unsuccessfully defended it for being "equally burdensome" among all races.

Abortion is genocide against the Black race. It’s unbelievable. The reasons for it as well as planned parenthood are well documented. The founders were well known racist. It’s absolute insanity that some people try to flip the switch and say ending abortion is racist.
Fing crazy. We’re dealing with some real shitbag people

Define "genocide" for us ...

That is either an ignorant to say ... or a gross misuse of the term.

A cult can be based on an idea and doesn’t require a leader.
Grasp that and then we will see if you’re capable of other definitions

I didn't know that he was black (how would I have known that?), nor do I care.

... another brilliant comment.

Why does that change the debate or the argument? You are the MFer that introduced Loving v Virginia, not me you simpleton. I was just telling you WTF the decision was based on. The decision about abortion was based on the fact that having an abortion was not a Constitutional right and that it should be determined by the states.

Republican Party Rep. Paul Gosar has referred to the Supreme Court ruling of "Loving v Virginia" as being a disgrace... This was the ruling which ended bans on interracial marriage. I wonder how Clarence feels about that? 100% of his public criticisms of politicians are reserved for Democrats. It's a fair question.

For the record, I have no problem banning all abortions, because that would be going in the right direction. But at the same time, I'm not one of the people out here ready to die on the "life begins at conception" hill. My opinions have been fluid on this, I openly admit. But, I'm to the point now of asking why do we need to kill the babies if there are medical methods of prolonging the life?

It doesn't change anything as far as I'm concerned... I'm not the one who brought up your race. I don't care. @Orangeslice13 said that you were black, and then without providing any justification for it at all, claimed that it was something I hated (from someone who doesn't even know my name ... which was completely uncalled for!).

In Roe v Wade, the Supreme Court held that the Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment provided a fundamental right to privacy, which protected a pregnant woman's right to have an abortion. For the record, I have no problem banning abortions, as long as there are rape/incest exceptions made.

@Rasputin_Vol .... this is who brought up your race, and this was the context in which it was mentioned. This post was completely random and unjustified based on anything which I have ever posted to this forum.

@Orangeslice13 ... Congrats, you are the first poster in 9 years that I have ever placed on ignore. I will never reply to, or acknowledge any of your posts again. Do the same for mine.
