Summary

Clarence Thomas criticized the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals for ignoring Supreme Court precedent in a case involving David Smith, convicted of attempted murder, whose sentence was overturned due to procedural concerns.

Thomas argued the court violated the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act by re-evaluating evidence rather than deferring to previous rulings.

Critics highlighted Thomas’s hypocrisy, noting his role in overturning Roe v. Wade in 2022, disregarding decades of precedent and leading to abortion bans in over 20 states.

        How about 4 racehorses facing outwards at an intersection, tied to his arms and legs, and fire a starting gun?

        Nah, that’s too old fashioned and could hurt a horse. Four cybertrucks. Nobody cares if they get fucked up.

          Too much effort, heres one my 2x great grandfather cooked up. Remove their legs and force them to crawl along the 15 all the way to Vegas during the peak of summer. Mind you it was in the context of the Seventh day Adventists and he used route 66 instead but this idea predates the interstste so im modernizing.

      Cold-ass response. Imagine you’re the dude and were reading along here and maybe for the first time realizing that people don’t like you specifically for your actions.
