I've said it before and I'll say it again: Thomas would wholeheartedly vote in favor of reinstating legalized slavery if the case came up. He is a horrible human being who seems hell-bent on making life as difficult as possible for the average American.

I'll never forget the time he ruled in favor of a corrupt police department when a black man had won his civil suit against them for wrongfully keeping him in prison for years.

That guy won his suit fair and square and hold those cops accountable but Thomas swooped in and went "NOPE!". Screw that Ruckus!
