We do it roughly once in a blue moon. So, it should happen again in a couple months or so.

Well damn, never knew he grew up maybe twenty miles from where I grew up. Always figured Justices were all Richy Rich types from big Northern cities. Wonder why they never taught us about him in school.

Wonder why they never taught us about him in school.
Because there's a dismissive attitude towards anyone who pulls themselves up by their boot straps. AND! We can't have those great American success stories of people coming up from nothing and making something of themselves. It ruins the dependency indoctrination.

Probably more to do with the fact that the left hates black conservatives with a passion the KKK couldn't dream of.

Look fat, it's physically impossible to pull yourself up by your bootstraps. Checkmate atheists.

As an erstwhile progressive who treated Supreme Court rules like sports teams, and has since come to truly appreciate the work men like Scalia and Thomas have done, I'd love to see a whole series on conservative Justices.
I think a lot of folks lack an appreciation for jurisprudence.

I seem to remember Democrats promoting a baseless sexual assault claim about a Supreme Court nominee. They trotted out a person who couldn't substantiate her story and told us we had to believe her in a pathetic bid to turn public opinion against him. The media was more than happy to oblige.
I forget which nominee that was, but it rings a bell.

If you think calling someone an Uncle Tom is an insult, you clearly haven't read Uncle Tom's Cabin.

Uncle Tom is just what leftists use when they want to say the N word but are too woke to utter it.

Aww, someone is mad that a black person isn’t toeing the leftist line. Bless your heart.
