We learn today (I first read about this in the Los Angeles Times this morning) that Supreme Court "Justice" Clarence Thomas's wife is a significant figure in the tea party movement. Well, at least the guy made an appropriate marriage, marrying someone as stupid and dishonest as he is himself. Remember Mr. Bumble, who said that if the law thought he could control his wife, then "the law is a ass—a idiot?" Well, unfortunately for us here in this country, Clarence Thomas is the law, and he is also a ass and a idiot. So I guess Mr. Bumble was right after all.

Readers of this blog may remember the multiple occasions on which I have suggested that "Justice" Clarence Thomas is nothing but a mindless tool of Antonin Scalia. I have to point out today that my characterization is not 100% true. The Supreme Court just voted 8-1 that school authorities exceeded their authority when they strip searched a 13 year old girl to see if she had any Advil hidden away. Clarence Thomas thought the search was just fine. Way to go, Clarence. A few more decisions like this one, and we may decide that you are the most loathsome Supreme court justice, instead of only a distant second. Go for the gold, guy.
