The sane, decent people in America would love to see Clarence take this offer and go away. My guess is that he will simply tell his mega rich buddies to double the offer and he'll stay on the Court so he can help them out. He is a horrible human being and a stain on American jurisprudence. I'm thinking he will want to stay to see if Trump wins the election. I weep for my country.

Supposedly he hates his salary as a judge, and I am sure that has been more than compensated for by his rich contacts, ie: grease my palm and I'll rule your way. Corruption at its finest.

I am not a believer in the dualism of good and evil, at least not as a universal reality. However, isolated examples can show themselves. I watched the Anita Hill hearings and saw prime example of good and evil where the evil won and was sworn in to SCROTUS.

Love it! If Thomas agrees to leave the Extreme Court, and takes the bribe to do so, he will have confirmed he is the morally decrepit sham we have all realized he is. He should take the money and RV and get the hell out of Washington for ever. And God Bless John Oliver for his marvelous offer to clean up the Extreme Court by one Republicon. Alito is next, right John? And if he takes the offer, I nominate John Oliver for the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and naturalized US citizenship.

He’s already a US Citizen!

“But in this sea of despair for Thomas comes a shining ray of hope: John Oliver. Yes, the comedian and host of the Emmy Award winning HBO show, "Last Week Tonight with John Oliver" has come to Thomas’s rescue with a generous offer.”

Dean, with all due respect, Thomas won’t need to take up Oliver’s offer. If Trump wins, and republicans takeover the Senate, Thomas, Alito and possibly Robert’s, will all retire before the midterms, and solidify control over the SC for the next 40’years.

They will essentially rule by judicial fiat. And if, or when Democrats retake the Executive and Legislative branches, republicans will use “judge shopping” to tie up any major legislation democrats pass for years to come in the courts; outliving the four year term of a president.

This is the beginning of minority rule, and turning this country into the White Christian Taliban. And the end of our republic as we know it….:)

We're NOT going to allow that, though, right? RIGHT?

Last Election In My Lifetime 😭

I am a recovering racist - if we all were honest with ourselves, we each would be somewhere along that spectrum - and every news story about the living oxymoron, Justice Thomas, and/or his handmaiden makes my blood boil and old thoughts come to mind that I am ashamed of and thought I had repented of. Not their fault, I’m just confessing. What a disgrace they are to the SCOTUS as are the other #45 appointees, but Thomas is the penultimate! Impeach!

Yeah, but if he were to take John Oliver up on his very generous offer, he would have nothing left to complain about, and no one to listen to him complain. IMO, he's not smart enough to take this offer.

That, and his “friends” would stop inviting him on lavish all expense paid vacations.

Yeah, and then he'd have a tough time supporting his life style, even with the generous million per year (I don't understand how anybody can spend that much, apart from tfg with his legal bills). So sad… 🎻

He wants them to counter offer. THEY are all Conmen & Grifters.

I heard the contract includes a promise from Harlan Crow to still be his friend, take him on lavish trips and pay some of his bills. Ha ha, just kidding!

CORRUPT thomas couldn’t further "bomb" his poor "reputation" or "good name" or "honor" because he has NONE of those things. He’s already reached bottom and will forever be known for that.

Thomas won confirmation by just 2 votes (the lowest confirmation ever) He had almost no prior federal experience (having just been just appointed to the DC court of appeals by daddy Bush 8 months prior) daddy bush nominated him to the position because of his extreme right wing positions on voting rights and abortion. (like the rest of the Leonard Leo 6, he also refused to state his position on Roe v Wade and the bar association wanted to give him a unfavorable/unqualified rating but caved in to the bush white house pressure and didnt give him a recommendation. the fix was in with crooked Thomas from the very start . Thomas was nothing but a rubber stamp for Scalia , having voted with him on every vote .

I don't pray often, I'm more of a meditator, but I am going to pray very hard for Thomas to take the deal and drive off into the sunset 🙏 and please take Ginny!!!

Amen.

Sorry but I have darker thoughts. He accepts the deal and he and Ginny set off driving the country in their Ill-gotten RV. As they laugh and celebrate while driving in a haze of cigar smoke they drive off a bridge spanning Diablo Canyon where they are welcomed into the arms of their god.

OMG yes!!! I’m actually surprised that he prefers the power over the money. He seems to be very much about the money.

Brilliant Dean, thank you for your good works. !!!

He couldn’t take that offer soon enough for me. He said he wanted to make liberals miserable. He’s trying really hard, but I won’t give him the power to make me miserable.

I’ll come back from Mexico for that shit.

Clarence and Ginny are psychopathic narcissists. They are so good at manipulating others, always see themselves as the victim, and have no scruples in what they do. John Oliver’s offer would appeal to a healthy person. But the narcissist just can’t take the offer because it would hurt their fragile ego. Instead, you see/hear them complaining and projecting. I mean, Clarence clearly thinks he has white skin…and yet that color will have him marched off to the gas chambers of the coming threat of the American Fascist Party.
