Why does Clarence Thomas hate America?
It's always been evident that Clarence Thomas isn't a big fan of stare decisis in Constitutional law. Now it appears that Justice Thomas isn't so keen on the Constitution itself.
Parker said Thomas told him a judge should be evaluated by whether he faithfully upholds his oath to God, not to the people, to the state or to the Constitution.
A quick review of Article VI,§ 3 of the Constitution reveals:
The senators and representatives before-mentioned, and the members of the several state legislatures, and all executive and judicial officers, both of the United States and of the several states, shall be bound by oath or affirmation, to support this constitution; but no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.
Is Justice Thomas suggesting that federal judges not be evaluated by how they discharge their Constitutional duties? Or was Judge Parker just misquoted?
