The Campaign against Clarence Thomas Misfires Yet Again
In National Review, I respond to the latest ProPublica hit piece on Justice Thomas:There is an old lawyer’s joke: “If the facts are against you, argue the law. If the law is against you, argue the facts. If the law and the facts are against you, pound the table and yell like hell.”It looks like ProPublica, a self-styled “independent, nonprofit newsroom that produces investigative journalism with moral force,” has now descended to the anonymous humor of the bar.
You appear to be the same John Yoo who wrote the famous Torture Memo that allowed the US to torture people, even to death, without any form of due process or supervision. And now, you're defending a judge, a Supreme Court judge!, who has received millions of dollars in "presents" from highly partisan individuals and then deliberately does not report these presents! How is this in any way acceptable? How is anyone supposed to believe that a judge who takes "presents" of immense value is in any way impartial? He not only took all of those presents, he lied about it! You diminish America, and humanity, with every one of your actions.
John, thanks for calling out Propublica for being nothing but a leftist propaganda mouthpiece with no shame. Justice Thomas will go down as one of the greatest justices to ever sit Supreme Court and it kills the left that he is a black conservative. How blasphemous!!!😂
