Clarence Thomas Casts Lone Vote Against Voting Rights Act


When I think of Clarence Thomas, I think of that teacher guy from "Fast Times At Ridgemont High"

“The extensive pattern of discrimination that led the court to previously uphold Section 5 as enforcing the 15th Amendment [right to vote] no longer exists. Covered jurisdictions are not now engaged in a systematic campaign to deny Black citizens access to the ballot through intimidation and violence.” So says Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. If you translate or breakdown Justice Thomas’ quote, he is saying that Black voters no longer need voting protections.
Quote from blog "Black Men In America"

In the movie, Mr Hand, the teacher guy, had this one memorable line to his class: "What are you people?" "On dope"? Or something like that.
