I always thought the guy was ‘lost’….
I now KNOW he is…..
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas on Monday claimed election fraud is a threat to America, revealing in a forceful dissent some support for former President Donald Trump and Republicans who have refused to accept the result of the 2020 election.
A longtime conservative, Thomas’ legal views naturally aligned with the Trump administration. But his dissent stands out for how much it subscribed to the Trump worldview of fraud, a notion debunked by election law experts and that has failed overwhelmingly in dozens of state and federal court challenges.
“We are fortunate that many of the cases we have seen alleged only improper rule changes, not fraud. But that observation provides only small comfort,” Thomas said, dissenting as the court rejected a long-pending challenge to Pennsylvania mail-in voting procedures.
“An election free from strong evidence of systemic fraud is not alone sufficient for election confidence,” Thomas wrote.

This headline is a major stretch.

She wrote a post, apologizing for her initial statement, and made it clear that she speaks for herself only and not her husband. I think we all know of married couples who have different views, some of them prominent people.

She’s always been a wingnut
Presumably, James Carville accepts no responsibility for what Mary Matalin ,might say, and vice-versa.
When James is appointed to the Supreme Court perhaps that example of Mary’s partisan leanings will be relevant.
Clarence the silent porn freak has sat on the Supreme Court for decades and his wife knows the drill regarding political activity. The fact that her organization supported the folks that tried to overthrow our government is relevant don’t you think?
Oh but wait, she apologized.
An old Republican trick after the racist horse has been let out of the barn.
