The shocking leak of the Supreme Court’s draft decision to overturn Roe v. Wade earlier this month could mark the end of the high court’s legitimacy, warns Justice Clarence Thomas.
This from thegatewaypundit.com.
The conservative justice warned while speaking at the Old Parkland Conference on Friday in Dallas:
I wonder how long we’re going to have these institutions at the rate we’re undermining them, and then I wonder when they’re gone or destabilized what we will have as a country and I don’t think the prospects are good if we continue to lose them.
When you lose that trust, especially in the institution that I’m in, it changes the institution fundamentally. You begin to look over your shoulder. It’s like kind of an infidelity that you can explain it, but you can’t undo it.
The Justice argued:
In the past, if someone said that, ‘one line of one opinion would be leaked, the expose would be disregarded by the public as illegitimate.’
The response would have been, ‘Oh, that’s impossible. No one would ever do that.’
Now that trust or that belief is gone forever.
I do think what happened at the court is tremendously bad…I wonder how long we’re going to have these institutions at the rate we’re undermining them.
Undermining “these institutions” indeed:
As the radical left seethes following the criminal leak of the draft opinion, White House Press secretary Jen Psaki encouraged the democrat base to intimidate the justices into upholding Roe v. Wade by protesting at their homes.
Justice Thomas argued:
Conservatives never resort to employing those intimidation tactics.
You would never visit Supreme Court justice’s houses when things didn’t go our way.
We didn’t throw temper tantrums. I think it is…incumbent on us to always act appropriately and not to repay tit for tat.
Following Justice Thomas’s speech at the Old Parkland Conference, which describes itself as a conference “to discuss alternative proven approaches to tackling the challenges facing Black Americans today,” Thomas sat for a Q&A session.
An attendee inquired about the relationship between liberal and conservative justices on the court:
How can we foster that same type of relationship within Congress and within the general population?
Thomas replied, praising his former colleagues:
Protesters reportedly protested at the Supreme Court and around the nation on Saturday.
Putting intent aside, the leak of the Supreme Court is one further example of the caution that there is no negotiating with liberals. They are unable to meet at the middle on any issue. And are not to be trusted—period.
As Justice Thomas so aptly noted, “This is not the court of that era.” This is not the court nor is this the congress of the pre-radical-progressive-liberal era.
Final thought, an analogy of sorts: Prior to Iran’s Islamic revolution (1978-79) the religion of “peace” had not demonstrated radicalism for perhaps150 years—the Barbary Wars come to mind. The year 1979 marked the start of a new era, which included the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and the Mujahadeen’s establishment along with Al Qaeda and the Holy War.
Now, compare the recent radicalization of Islam with the radicalization of the democrat-communist party. The DCP’s intent is not a Holy War. It is, however, a war against conservatism, Judeo-Christian culture, and America as a successful world power. Radical liberalism is intent on burning down America, just as Islam is intent on burning down Western Civilization.
