BREAKING: Clarence Thomas Does The UNTHINKABLE, Turns Against Republican Party (DETAILS)

Prominently conservative US Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas spoke out strongly this week against the Senate Republicans who continue to block President Obama’s Supreme Court nominee to replace the deceased Antonin Scalia.

Obama nominated Merrick Garland to fill Scalia’s seat months ago, but leading Senate Republicans almost immediately jumped on the notion that, according to some completely precedent lacking but convenient notion, Obama should not be the one to fill Scalia’s seat since the election, and thus the next beginning of the next presidency, is so soon.

The Republicans responsible for the obstructionism likely initially based their policy on a hope that a Republican would win the White House.

Such a hope is fine and dandy, but Obama’s tenure isn’t over yet, no matter how much Republicans would like it to be. He is still the president, and it is still the president’s responsibility to fill vacant seats on the Supreme Court.

Looks like the repugs were holding a Trump card against Clarance just in case he stepped out of line.

Not that I would defend his actions or dismiss the charges as false, only that I would question the timing.
