Justice Thomas is a living legend who has magnificently shattered the usual trajectory of people born in devastating circumstances, including an absent father, racism, and abject poverty.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike for every other Supreme Court justice, the Constitution is Thomas\u2019 unfailing judicial North Star. Even when it\u2019s painfully unpopular in D.C., he does not flinch at faithfully applying the actual text of the Constitution to every case. Every time justices disagree about a case, Thomas is right and the others are wrong. He\u2019s a moral and legal giant, almost single-handedly keeping fidelity to our nation\u2019s chief law aflame in our nation\u2019s top court.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>This is really why the left hates him and his wife, Ginni. Justice and Ginni Thomas stand boldly in the way of the left\u2019s 150-year campaign to turn Americans into the serfs of an almighty bureaucracy that knows no checks on its appetites.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>So it\u2019s no surprise to see yet another <a href=\"https:\/\/nymag.com\/intelligencer\/article\/clarence-thomas-ginni-thomas-marriage-love-story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">venomous article<\/a> about the pair from New York Magazine, wildly alleging, without actual evidence, they\u2019re involved in everything nefarious from race betrayal to insurrection. It\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9vQa72ghiyg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">part of<\/a> a recent <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/author\/markpaoletta\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">coordinated effort<\/a> among corporate media to delegitimize fidelity to the Constitution in the U.S. judicial system, and to get America\u2019s best Supreme Court justice to recuse himself from as many cases as possible.<\/p>\n<h3>Discredited Harpies Amplify Rumors and Innuendo<\/h3>\n<p>Apparently no level is too low for this magazine to stoop in its effort to defame the Thomases. The article repeats half-century-old claims from <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/01\/24\/the-new-yorker-lies-again-in-hit-on-clarence-thomas-and-wife-that-falsely-claims-he-attended-a-dc-event\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">smear operators<\/a> Jane Mayer and Jill Abramson that Thomas looked at pornography in college. Author Kerry Howley calls their <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2019\/07\/23\/journalist-who-peddled-shoddy-kavanaugh-story-defends-al-franken\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">long-discredited<\/a> collection of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/new-york-magazine-hates-that-uppity-clarence-thomas-and-his-white-wife\/\" title=\"NY Magazine Disapproves of Clarence Thomas and His Interracial Marriage\">unverified dirty stories \u201castonishingly<\/a> well sourced.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The idea is to prep minds to accept Anita Hill\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2016\/04\/18\/3-major-problems-with-confirmation-hbos-anita-hill-history-rewrite\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">unverified <\/a>sexual harassment accusations that nearly derailed Thomas\u2019 confirmation. Even if this unsubstantiated gossip happens to be true, if every person who ever looked at pornography is disqualified from public service or to be convicted as a sex maniac, almost nobody gets to be in any public office. That means these claims aren\u2019t concerns about sexual propriety; they\u2019re a politically motivated smear job.<\/p>\n<h2>Safe Childhoods and Yacht Rides Are Racist<\/h2>\n<p>If she supported the destruction of America, Ginni\u2019s all-American childhood would be praised instead of savaged by <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/01\/24\/the-new-yorker-lies-again-in-hit-on-clarence-thomas-and-wife-that-falsely-claims-he-attended-a-dc-event\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">jealous white Jezebels<\/a> in New York Magazine. We\u2019re supposed to both believe it\u2019s terrible that Clarence Thomas\u2019 childhood home was next to open sewage pits <em>and <\/em>it\u2019s terrible for Ginni Thomas to have grown up in an upscale suburban development in apparent peace and comfort. Safe childhoods, which every mother of every color wants for her children, are racist, you see \u2014 if a conservative enjoys one.<\/p>\n<p>Here are just a few quotes from this indulgently long article that illustrate the \u201cMean Girl\u201d innuendo campaign underway in the guise of \u201creporting\u201d:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cBonnie and Clyde were performing intimacy; every line crossed was its own profession of love. Refusing to recuse oneself and then objecting, alone among nine justices, to the revelation of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bidens-cooperation-with-the-fbi-is-meaningless-and-misleading\/\" title=\"Biden\u2019s \u2018Cooperation\u2019 With The FBI Is Meaningless And Misleading\">potentially incriminating documents<\/a> regarding a coup in which a spouse is implicated is many things, and one of those things is\u00a0<em>romantic.<\/em>\u201d Yes, the author describes a Supreme Court  justice and his wife as the murderous criminals \u201cBonnie and Clyde.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cHere is a story about the way legitimate racial grievance and determined white ignorance can reinforce one another, tending toward an extremism capable, in this case, of discrediting an entire branch of government.\u201d Project much?<\/li>\n<li>\u201cIn the spring of 1986, Clarence was a 37-year-old divorced single father and one of D.C.\u2019s most eligible bachelors according to\u00a0<em>Jet<\/em>\u00a0magazine, which we can be fairly certain Ginni did not read.\u201d Nice little racial dig there from\u2026 another white lady who probably also does not read <em>Jet <\/em>magazine.<\/li>\n<li>\u201cClarence and Ginni Thomas have, for decades, sustained the happiest marriage in the American Republic, gleeful in the face of condemnation, thrilling to the revelry of wanton corruption, untroubled by the burdens of biological children or adherence to legal statute.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>What a savage way to describe a couple the article later admits is so generous they volunteered to adopt the three children of an incarcerated family member. They eventually did adopt one of the three, and cared for him as their own child. Oh yes, \u201cuntroubled by the burdens of biological children.\u201d That description is just sick.<\/p>\n<h2>Justice Thomas Is Really an Inner White Guy<\/h2>\n<p>The article also drips with what, if it were directed at a leftist black man, would result in the writer\u2019s very public cancellation within about six seconds. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt took the marriage of a Black man\u2019s not unjustified fatalism with the boundless white impulse to build walls against unpleasant knowledge; what the late philosopher Charles Mills called \u2018the management of memory.\u2019 It took the marriage of a man who needed adulation as shield [sic] against self-doubt and a woman who needed a guru to shield her from ambiguity,\u201d Howley writes. Catch that? Justice Thomas is married to a \u201cboundless white impulse.\u201d Sounds a lot like calling him an Oreo. <\/p>\n<p>NY Mag also complains loudly about a family friend, a billionaire named Harlan Crow, who occasionally takes the Thomases on yacht rides, bought Justice Thomas\u2019 mother a home, and sent the Thomases\u2019 adopted grandnephew to private school. What a nefarious use of wealth! <\/p>\n<p>Crow also forms the basis for Howley to allege that Thomas thinks like a white man (whatever that means; ideas have no race). Again, sickening.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"VUyGwl9TAxb0iE7dhRcPO8JH2vWLugaqrBK6eFXI\"><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">NY Mag: Clarence Thomas isn&#8217;t a lib so he must be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/kari-lake-woke-football-teams-owned-by-billionaires-wont-dictate-border-policy\/\" title=\"Kari Lake: Woke Football Teams Owned by Billionaires Won't Dictate Border Policy\">taking marching orders<\/a> from a white man!<\/p>\n<p>The confidence of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/black-white-unemployment-gap-grew-in-october\/\" title=\"Black-White Unemployment Gap Grew In October\">white women working<\/a> in corporate media is truly something to behold. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/lte6NQ8Smu\">pic.twitter.com\/lte6NQ8Smu<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Emily Jashinsky (@emilyjashinsky) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/emilyjashinsky\/status\/1671596769744920580?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 21, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>If these people\u2019s political affiliations were switched, NY Mag would be sucking up to Crow and inviting him to all their parties, even if he happened to have an alleged habit of weirdly kissing hot women on the lips at social events, like <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2019\/07\/23\/journalist-who-peddled-shoddy-kavanaugh-story-defends-al-franken\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a former senator the magazine defended<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>But notice that it\u2019s only when a black man marks himself as highly capable of independent thought and action that New York Magazine treats him as worthy of racialized analysis, discounting both his skin color and personal experiences with Jim Crow. Only a black man who thinks the way they want him to counts as racially legitimate to them. <\/p>\n<p>Notice how these white people set themselves up as the arbiters of black identity and the parameters in which black Americans are allowed to function. Transgress their limits on black people, and the racist knives come out immediately.<\/p>\n<p>The entire article only verifies Thomas\u2019 perspective on white liberals, as quoted in the article itself:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u2026Thomas has in countless speeches articulated the motives of white liberals disrupting Black life: They act to assuage white guilt, to improve the aesthetics of the ruling class, to stoke the delicate self-conception of those who would never willingly cede power, all of it in service to a supremacist status quo. He prefers, he has said, the directness of southern racism to the subtlety of northern condescension.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2>Can\u2019t Argue His Points? Defame His Family<\/h2>\n<p>The NY Mag article quotes Justice Thomas as saying: \u201cI was among the elite, and I knew that no amount of striving would make me one of them.\u201d The only thing he\u2019s wrong about there is calling these credentialed America-destroyers \u201celite.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Clarence Thomas sets the standard for elite Americans, and not one of these excrement shooters is worthy of licking his boots. That\u2019s why they really hate him: because he\u2019s very publicly outpaced them, morally, patriotically, and mentally, for half a century.<\/p>\n<p>Thomas is the greatest living American, and it\u2019s not even close. Without his wife, as he says himself, this colossus would lack a vital support.<\/p>\n<p>They can\u2019t stop him, and they can\u2019t compete with him, so they lie about him. But their lies aren\u2019t fooling the rest of us, to whom Clarence Thomas and his wife Ginni will always be the greatest Americans of our lifetimes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Court justice, Justice Thomas&#8217;s journey to the highest court in the land is an extraordinary tale of triumph over adversity.
