I note it solely for the preservation of a complete record.
It appears at the tail end of the order list this morning that also ends Trump’s chance of stopping Cy Vance’s subpoena of his tax and financial records, in the Big Apple, an order which is understandably getting much wider coverage… in the popular press, today. It likely means jail for Trump.
But it should not go unnoticed, that — for Thomas to pen this dissent (at about page 30 of that pdf file) — he had to abandon every purported claim of “judicial modesty“ he (often along with Scalia, when Scalia was still living) ever made.
He only now tells us that there are some disputes, by his cock-a-mamey lights — even when it is clear that the Supremes (as here) possess no standing to hear the case… the Court should hear — and resolve — matters well beyond its jurisdictional reach.
Why?
Because his delicate political senses… wish to overturn the will of a clear majority of his fellow Americans’ lawful votes. In sum, because his guy didn’t prevail.
Yup. Thomas is a bought hack — as is his wife, the organizing financier of many of the bus caravans which delivered the violent white supremacists / insurrectionists to the Capitol — on January 6. These goons killed a police officer, and tried to kidnap members of Congress, and their own Vice President, all to stop the completion of a lawful vote certification process. Again, because their guy… lost.
That is in no manner… American. That is… insurrection, against her. Disgusting.
But the Thomas couple seems cool with it. Let that echo through history, in eternity, with their names.
I’m out.
