Justice Clarence Thomas Slams Joe Biden on Abortion: He Had “No Idea” What He Was Talking About

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas criticizes former Vice President Joe Biden’s stewardship of his 1991 Senate confirmation hearings in a forthcoming documentary called “Created Equal: Clarence Thomas in His Own Words.”

At one juncture of the film, from Manifold Productions, Thomas is asked about a colloquy with Biden over natural law philosophy and the Constitution. Though he doesn’t cite Biden by name, Thomas laments that lawmakers do not seem to have full command of the subject matter during judicial confirmation hearings.

“One of the things you do in hearings is you have to sit there and look attentively at people you know have no idea what they’re talking about,” Thomas says of the confirmation hearings.

“I have to be perfectly honest with you—you sit there, and you have no idea what they are talking about,” Thomas says elsewhere.

In the film, Thomas says Biden’s questions about natural law jurisprudence were little more than a ruse to draw him into a debate about abortion. The justice was famously circumspect about the subject during his confirmation hearings, at what one point claiming he had never discussed the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision as a law student.

With Biden, this is the general rule.   There is no way Democrats are stupid enough to nominate this idiot as their candidate.  It is only because of his idiocy that Obama chose him as his VP.  No one would have dared to attempt assassinating Obama knowing that Biden was next in line.

And Bernie has taken a pretty good shot at The Toucher's vote FOR the Iraq war. Look for Warren to pile on.

She hasn't amassed much money.  Anything's possible though.
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
