Reply #42: He was picked by the Chimp for his "diversity"

There are a number of people like him running around.

His "brain stem" is purely evil NEOCON.

The fact that his skin is BLACK has everything to do with his elevation to the Court.

Hell there is another guy in the Court System just like him

His name is "LONG DONG SILVER"

The content of the hearings, particularly Senator Orrin Hatch's questions "id you ever say in words or substance something like there is a pubic hair in my coke?" and "Did you ever use the term Long Dong Silver in conversation with Professor Hill?" rapidly became fodder for the nation's comedians.

The Committee sent the nomination to the full Senate without a recommendation either way. Thomas was confirmed by the Senate with a 52-48 vote on October 15, 1991, making it the closest confirmation vote for a Justice in the 20th century. The vote was not strictly by party line; he received "yea" votes from 41 Republicans and 11 Democrats and "nay" votes from 46 Democrats and 2 Republicans
