The New Yorker:

Great article on Justice Thomas and his wife, Ginni Thomas, with implications on any SCOTUS review of Obama Kare

Rush Limbaugh on what Jeffery Toobin's article means to the Left:
"Clarence Thomas is the guy we need to be afraid of, this is the guy who can do us in"

Walter Russell Mead: Jeffrey Toobin is announcing to the liberal world that Clarence Thomas has morphed from a comic figure of fun to a determined super-villain who might reverse seventy years of liberal dominance of the federal bench and turn the clock back to 1930 if not 1789.


The article is excellent. The Mead quote is from

New Blue Nightmare: Clarence Thomas and the Amendment of Doom
WALTER RUSSELL MEAD

Lord of the Rings aficionados know that the evil lord Sauron paid little attention to the danger posed by two hobbits slowly struggling across the mountains and deserts of Mordor until he suddenly realized that the ring on which all his power depended was about to be hurled into the pits of Mount Doom. All at once the enemy plan became clear; what looked like stupidity was revealed as genius, and Sauron understood everything just when it was too late to act.

Jeffrey Toobin’s gripping, must-read profile of Clarence and Virginia Thomas in the New Yorker gives readers new insight into what Sauron must have felt: Toobin argues that the only Black man in public life that liberals could safely mock and despise may be on the point of bringing the Blue Empire down.

It is clear they will try and make him recuse himself on the Health Care issue.
