Just a reminder that this fucker sexually harassed Anita Hill for years.
It won't be precedent. It will be amount of RVs donated.
"precedent" was destroyed in 2022. The Supreme Court are just tools of the christian cult. They have destroyed American law.
So wouldn't this mean that past SCOTUS decisions are irrelevant to new cases? So people could legitimately keep bringing near-identical cases to the SCOTUS level and have a legitimate expectation for them to be decided? That sounds obviously unwise even by current SCOTUS standards.
Mind you, Thomas probably wants to go by a rule of "precedent matters when I say it does", so consistency is irrelevant.
A lot of words for "I don't like it"
Clarence Thomas is the kind of man who after spending 12 years a slave would go out and hunt runaway slaves for his own new land.
I have completely lost all confidence in our government.
Just Clarence Thomas doing Clarence Thomas things.
Ok, then when trump leaves and a democrat packs the court, then who gives a fuck? It’s not like the number of judges is gospel or anything. Or an age limit, again if we’re not going to follow the rules then who fucking cares
Ok so how do the citizens pull him out of that office?
Not like precedent was a large reason for rulings from this court so far.
Fun fact, Clarence Thomas' reaction to Samuel L Jackson in Django Unchained was, "Sam's getting soft in his old age."
So gay marriage is out, what else will they be hearing this session? It’s gonna get so much worse, I’m sure.
Euphemism for " expect some crazy illegal shit to happen"
There is an extremely long history of discussion about Clarence Thomas and stare decisis / precedent.

Why start respecting 200 years of norms in American law now?
Don't forget:
A big reason Thomas is a SC judge is Biden ran a sham confirmation hearing for his "good buddies across the aisle"....

When Biden bitched and moaned about how it wasnt like "the good ole days" is because back then he was at best a useful idiot, if not outright intentionally helping the far right religious extremists who now run the GOP.
Decades of neoliberalism is coming home to roost with trump. A real party never would have let them set all this shit up over the decades.
Like the law matters to anyone in 2025
Precedent is important, but it's superseded by whether or not the plaintiff has taken Thomas on vacation recently.
The precedent is the legal tradition you pompous buffoon (Thomas not OP)
Constitutional Law Professors right now
The Krusty the Clown of justice.
Clarese Dumbass should've been canned years ago
I mean we already know that because that’s what they’ve been doing for several years now
No reason to care what the state thinks about your marriage. You can still get married without the states involvement. Just have a ceremony and stuff. The only downside is that trans women can't have children and be in a marriage as a business partnership, but trans women can't have kids anyways, so it doesn't matter. Outside of having children, legal marriage is not a good deal. It really only exists in its good form to protect the interests of women who may wish to have children in a relationship. If you really want to you can enter into a contract with someone to split your assets as one body for the duration of the partnership or marriage, so you can specialize without taking all the risk, and then just get married anyways while giving the middle finger to these bigots.
