Clarence Thomas’ Response to Retirement Rumors Is Absolutely Epic

Rumors have been swirling that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is planning on retiring soon.

In fact, I read a really specific one about how he and his wife had always dreamed to travel the country in an RV. I’d totally get it if that were the case, because it’s my dream, too.

Anyway, in an interview with “financier and philanthropist” David Rubenstein, Thomas made it clear he has “no idea where this stuff comes from.”

So he’s sticking around!

According to Daily Wire:

“I really don’t have a lot of stress,” Justice Thomas joked. “I cause stress.”

LOL! Could he be referring to that little spat he just had with Ruth Bader Ginsburg? 

Having joined the Court in 1991, Thomas is its longest-serving current member.

During the rest of the interview, Thomas reportedly reflected on his clerks, his frustrations with his fellow justices, and his original goal to become a Roman Catholic priest before dropping out of seminary.

“I got angry with the Catholic Church over the issue of race,” he said. “I thought that the Church should be the leader of the moral crusade against segregation and discrimination.”

I’m clearly behind, but I didn’t know that. That’s really interesting.

Thomas also discussed his frustration with identity politics, as a black conservative.

“People who will get very upset if someone said all blacks look alike are really comfortable saying all blacks ought to think alike,” Thomas reportedly said.

“If you said that blacks should not be allowed to go a library, you’d be against that,” he said. “If you said that blacks couldn’t read certain books in the library, you would say that’s wrong.”

“But now we are so comfortable saying that blacks can’t hold some of the ideas in some of the books in the library,” Thomas added. “That’s absurd.”

Yes, yes, YES!

As a Hispanic woman, identity politics played a huge factor in my turn to Conservatism. As a self-described “independent” woman, I got very tired of being told how to think because of my background.

Clarence Thomas is a BOSS – and he’s gonna keep bossing for the foreseeable future.
