“What happened at the Court is tremendously bad. I wonder how long we’re going to have these institutions at the rate we’re undermining them and then I wonder when they’re gone or destabilized what we will have as a country,' explained Clarence Thomas
Undermining institutions is bad, he says. Photo: Drew Angerer/Getty Images Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, the Court’s most avowed opponent of the right to an abortion, complained at length at an event on Friday about the recent leak of a draft opinion indicating he and four other conservative justices will soon overturn Roe v. Wade.
“I do think that what happened at the Court is tremendously bad,” Thomas said. “I wonder how long we’re going to have these institutions at the rate we’re undermining them and then I wonder when they’re gone or destabilized what we will have as a country, and I don’t think the prospects are good if we continue to lose them.”
Thomas also criticized the left and demonstrations targeting the justices, insisting that conservatives “would never visit Supreme Court justices’ houses when things didn’t go our way. We didn’t throw temper tantrums. I think it is incumbent on us to always act appropriately and not repay tit for tat.
