Justice Clarence Thomas: 'I do think what happened at the Court is tremendously bad.'

Justice Clarence Thomas: "I think we are in danger of destroying the institutions that are required for a free society. You can't have a civil society, a free society without a stable legal system...There was such a belief in the rule of law, belief in the Court…look where we are. 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. Then I wonder when they're gone or destabilized what we will have as a country. I don't think the prospects are good if we continue to lose them."

The host seems more interested in getting along, joking and having a good time than asking any meaningful questions

[cydonianmomentum]

The interviewer is John Yoo, who wrote the Torture Memos that justified the Bush Administration and the War on Terror. An interesting person to be in company with.

[oogaboogamaxine]

I’m from the future Roe V Wade got overturned

[barrylafleur]

We are not free, or civil or stable as a country. Having a belief and being are not the same thing.

[celiacortez]

The title for this YouTube video does not match Justice Thomas’s thoughts on the leaked draft.

[johnhawthorne]

The Hate and Racist views spewed towards Justice Thomas says an awful lot.

[robertnobles]

“Me thinks thou doth protest too much” and “He who smell’t it dealt it” come to mind when I hear the conservatives talk about the leak.
His wife Ginny should be a usual suspect.

[hjfj]

Mr. "I never talk to Ginni about her work" ...

[rockybalboa]

Clarence and Ginni Thomas. Putting the coup in couple. Ef them both.

[andrewlepeilbet]

One of the most greatest mans in the country thank you Clarence Thomas for being one of the most hard-working Americans

[ssudppf]

What a walking, talking example of what a corrupt country this is.

[franciscogalicia]

hes referring to the fact there was a leak

[Geezerelli]

Abortion is decided by the states because it is not a federal level right.

[missscorpaz]

I want to know how much he knew before the insurrection and why he thinks the DOJ shouldn’t arrest Ginni Thomas.

[billwells]

He should know, he has done more to sell out the court to the highest bidder than any one of the other judges.

[cricketmak]

Why is the fact something leaked from the court more important than the content of the leak?

[jameshaynes]

Justice Thomas, an American hero. He understands the role of the Supreme Court. Roe was an awful decision. Now it goes back to the states. Let the people that live in those states make the decision(s). Thank God, Roe is no more.

[Mr.E-Bachs]

Omitting his wife’s income from the Supreme Court Financial Disclosure for 6 years. He acted unethically and should step down. This man is a disgrace.

[chrispark]

These people will never argue on the merits of Roe because they know its intellectually indefensible.

[ericibola]

Thomas needs to resign from power. Where is the petition calling to remove him from power?! His wife and billionaire owner are pulling his strings.
“Down with Thomass!”
“Down with Thomass!”
