Supreme Court Justice Clarence says he is a strict constitutionalist. His viewpoints are to take our country back to the 1950s. His vision is no gay rights, no gay marriage, no Brown vs. School Board, no preferred college enrollment and other cultural changes in the last sixty years.

            Article I of the Constitution says Clarence Thomas is only three-fifths of a white man. When he looks in the mirror does he see he is only valued at sixty percent of the other justices. If he is such a strict constitutionalist, why is he putting his own version of the second amendment in his work speeches? The amendment wording is extremely exact and says ownership requires being in the militia which is the old name of the National Guard. Thomas says everyone has the right to bear arms but then comes up with his own set of restrictions. One is not having guns anywhere he is.

            Justice Thomas says he is apolitical but he has been speaking at right wing meetings and giving far right speeches. Supreme Court Justices are supposed to be neutral and therefore their spouses should at least keep their political views to themselves. Mrs. Thomas has never been quiet about her views including trying to get Arizona to change their elections.

            As for taking an oath to tell the truth, he lied repeatedly in his Senate hearings. He even tried to get the Trump lie about the election brought before the court so he could overturn the election.            

Justice, and I use the term because of his office, Clarence Thomas should resign or be removed because of his unbecoming and perjury in the hearings.

         Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas should never have been confirmed in the first place. His rulings in lower courts were often overturned so his qualifications should have sunk him from being considered. His molesting Anita Hill should have been a disaster, too. Other women were molested but wouldn’t come forward as Hill courageously did.

            We knew his wife was involved in trying to get Arizona to put out a different set of electors who would support Trump. Now we find out Thomas was working behind the scenes to get the United States Supreme Court to take a look at whether Trump’s lies were real and he actually won.

            Thomas’ decisions as a justice have been questioned on several rulings. The decisions seemed to be more political than constitutional. It’s time for him to resign before he destroys the reputation of the United States Supreme Court even more than he already has.  Justices are supposed to be apolitical. His wife is definitely not, nor is he.

            Millions of Americans think it is time for the United States to have sensible Primary elections. These elections would be restricted to certain uniform rules. Campaigning could only be done forty-five days prior to the primary election. No PAC or individual could help prior to the forty-five days.  This would reduce costs

            Primaries would be conducted ninety days before the general election further reducing expenses. No campaign money can be accepted outside those two periods meaning those people who are already elected can spend their time doing what they were elected to do instead of working the phones and going to campaign events.

            The one major change in most states would be what a few have already done. They have an open primary which means the voter gets a ballot with all the parties on it and all their nominees. That allows the voter to pick the best person in any party. Then the two with the most votes for their parties are on the general election ballet.

            Today some primaries and general elections can take up to a year and cost millions for many state and federal elections. Some governor, senator, and representative elections might cost tens of millions. These changes would save billions in each election cycle.
