(Headline USA) Failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton claimed this week that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has always been a man of “resentment, grievance, [and] anger.”
Recalling her time in law school with Thomas, Clinton said the conservative justice has been encouraging activists and state legislatures to send cases his way so he can use them to challenge other precedents, including cases that established the right to same-sex marriage and contraception.
“I went to law school with him. He’s been a person of grievance for as long as I’ve known him,” Clinton told CBS Mornings.
“[He has] resentment, grievance, [and] anger, and he has signaled in the past, to lower courts, to state legislatures, ‘Find cases. Pass laws. Get them up [to the Supreme Court],”
Clinton blasted the Supreme Court’s recent decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which overruled Roe v. Wade.
“There’s so many things about it that are deeply distressing. But women are going to die, Gayle. Women will die,” she said.
Other Democrat leaders have similarly insulted Thomas, accusing him of being an “Uncle Tom.”

“He thinks that we are going to stand idly by while they take our rights — our right to marry, our right to have children, our right to live,” Lightfoot said.
