What was Harry Reid thinking?


* What was Harry Reid thinking? The new leader of the Senate Democrats recently opined that Antonin Scalia might be worth supporting for chief justice "if he can overcome the ethics ethics, in philosophy, the study and evaluation of human conduct in the light of moral principles. Moral principles may be viewed either as the standard of conduct that individuals have constructed for themselves or as the body of obligations and duties that a  problems," but that Clarence Thomas Clarence Thomas (born June 23, 1948) is an American jurist and has been an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States since 1991. He is the second African American to serve on the nation's highest court, after Justice Thurgood Marshall.  "has been an embarrassment to the Supreme Court" because "his opinions are poorly written." None of the other justices provides the intellectual entertainment that Scalia does. But the reasoning in Thomas's opinions is not worse than any displayed by the other justices, Scalia included. Liberal academics increasingly regard Thomas as a worthy adversary adversary

, even if they wish he were not on the Court. Nor has Reid named any particular Thomas opinion that he considers badly written. That Thomas is a dumb DEAF, DUMB, AND BLIND. A man born deaf, dumb, and blind, is considered an idiot. (q.v.) 1 Bl. Com. 304; F. N. B. 233; 2 Bouv. Inst. n. 2111.

DUMB. One who cannot speak; a person who is mute. See Deaf and dumb, Deaf, dumb, and blind; Mute, standing mute.
 version of Scalia is just one of those things that liberals know, even as they know that it is they who are sensitive to racial slights.
