96. My opinion

Fri Mar 25, 2022, 06:59 PM

Mar 2022

(just in case anyone wants it)

1. Thomas is either ill, or faking it. Either way, it's bad news for R's.

2. Thomas may use his reported illness as a face-saving way to leave, rather than be impeached or remain constantly in the news as a lightning rod, possibly swaying elections. Some Republicans might actually want him gone.

3. If he does resign or, um, whatever, Biden should nominate another Black woman. RBG wanted to see 9 women on the court - I'll go her one further and say 9 women of color.
