Clarence Thomas just lost
The Extreme Court has decided not to hear a case that seeks to challenge Washington State’s law that bans conversion therapy for minors. It’s a good thing too, as conversion therapy is barbaric, insidious, and just what Clarence Thomas ordered.
Just kidding. Thomas did not order it, but he sure is pissed at his colleagues for not agreeing to hear it. We know this to be true because Thomas went bat-shit crazy and released a motherlode of an objection to the majority opinion.
In this objection, the husband of an insurrectionist argues that this case is REALLY a First Amendment issue. Conversion therapy has been deemed in the therapeutic world as child abuse.
This sure did not stop Thomas from carrying on like a lunatic, claiming in a MULTIPLE page dissent that this suppresses free speech. Squealing like one of Orwell’s animal farm pigs, Thomas objected — and objected – and objected. “True, Counseling is a form of therapy,” Thomas writes. “But it (therapy) is conducted solely through speech.”
WHAT?? It gets better. “A law that restricts speech based on its content or viewpoint is presumptively unconstitutional.” Oh man, what an embarrassment this man is to the legal profession!
Here’s more: “Under SB 5722, licensed counselors cannot voice anything other than the state-approved opinion on minors with Gender dysphoria without facing punishment.” This is false. And Thomas must know that.
I cannot wait for the day Thomas resigns. Who knows? Perhaps it’ll happen during Biden’s second term. The man (Clarence) is a perfect example of when I say someone can be book-smart and STILL be dumb as a door nail. And dumb as a door nail is, in fact, Clarence Thomas’ middle name.
