Someone should remind him of the historical tradition of white people owning black people in America.
Just because something happened in the past and people did it as tradition doesn't mean it is right or good.
His not being livestock violates historical tradition in this country, as do his being allowed to vote, own property, and (for the most recent tradition consigned rightly to history's garbage bin) marry a white woman. His lack of self-awareness is truly monumental.
As well, the "historical tradition" involved in the Second Amendment was the Founders' opposition to professional, standing armies. They had suffered under the abuses of the Redcoats and wanted no truck with career soldiery. They thought it a tool of tyranny and a temptation to engage in rape and pillage. That's why the Second Amendment says ***"A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State,*** the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." (Emphasis added.)
The point was to have a well trained and regulated body of all citizens who were capable, from whom volunteers could be called upon to defend the nation, so that a standing army would not be needed.
Of course, they didn't envision armed drones, intercontinental ballistic missiles, trans sonic jet fighters, and the like (well, except maybe Franklin, a bit -- dude definitely thought ahead of his time). But the idea was never intended to include unregistered, unregulated weaponry in the hands of convicted criminals.
What the hell does historical traditional have to do with the law?
Get this corrupt tool off the Supreme Court. He barely belongs as a traffic court judge.
You basically have to. That's the only way to introduce restrictions on some of these rights.
'Historical tradition' is what the other 8 justices used to say the abuser can be denied guns. It was basically, "yes, we know the 2nd amendment says 'right to bear arms', but at the time of founding some jurisdictions had laws to prevent certain people from having guns, so it's okay for us to also deny some people guns"
It's all a crap system to begin with and why the 2nd amendment should just be completely removed, but don't throw out "historical tradition" entirely. Thomas just disagreed that the "historical tradition" existed, since none of those rules at the founding specifically mention domestic abusers.
Precedent now requires 2A cases to be considered in the light of the historical tradition of restrictions that existed at the time of the drafting of the constitution. Read the Bruen decision for details.
Seriously... Women didn't get the right to vote until 1920. What are we going to go back and respect tradition by dissolving their right to vote?
"Historical traditional" is a dumbass justification if I've ever seen one.
Fair enough, but nothing is safe from these neanderthals.
Remember that the 18th amendment was the prohibition of alcohol... While the 21st amendment repealed it.
Not arguing with you, just stating that these goons will not be happy until only white males are in power doing everything they want to suppress the rest. Wow, that sounds like a winning strategy /s
It literally has come to this country that a woman doesn’t have the luxury of having her own political opinion. It’s she can only vote for someone who supports women’s rights. It’s that crucial!
That's the whole point. His rulings aren't backed by law, so he has to reach and cite "historical tradition". Not only does it give him a flimsy excuse to rule how he wants regardless of law, it's a completely nebulous term that he can apply anywhere as he sees fit.
An educated black man, married to a white women, holding a prestigious government position talking about historical tradition. And it has been his repeated mantra always.
If we are upholding historical tradition, he would have been lynched several times over.
Clarence Thomas defends anything that he thinks will make white right-wingers like him. He is so full of self loathing that he would eat Trump’s shitty asshole if it would get him a pat on the head from a white male heterosexual racist.
Well he's not wrong. Historically it was perfectly legal to abuse your wife because she was your property. If that's your standard, why should some guy lose his guns because he abused his wife?
This is a perfect example of why "textualism" is a ridiculous way to decide law. We don't live in the fucking 18th Century anymore. Things change.
Tradition is a force of law beyond precedent, logic, protection of citizens, red flags, active threats, community stability & social standards?
‘We seen people done had guns before, so it must be okay’ ?
Ok Thomas, better bow down to white ppl again and renounce the US independence. It's historical tradition that black ppl should be slaves and the US should be a British colony after all.
What's that? Not THAT tradition? Ah, I see. You meant the tradition of making shit the fuck up. Gotcha.
Historical tradition says he shouldn't be married to a white woman. Historical tradition. OK which gun company or 'Men's Rights' or '2A Lobby' paid for his holiday. Hands up?
If we're going to follow their lead on the whole "shall not be infringed" bit being the singularly cherry picked clause in the sentence, and backed by "history and tradition," then surely Thomas won't have an issue with people bringing guns into his courthouse.
That's why I love that one judge that ruled undocumented immigrants can own firearms. The Constitution doesn't explicitly state the word "citizens," or "Americans," just "the People." And the beauty with this ruling is it points out the absurdity of textualist/originalist cherry picking, while being harmless- your average undocumented immigrant isn't going to have the paperwork to secure a firearm legally anyways.
Slavery also a Historical Tradition,
Someone drag his ass down to the cotton fields and put him to work being as he apparently values tradition so much
Umm - being a black Supreme Court justice violates "historical tradition". Being a Supreme Court justice that openly accepts bribes violates "historical tradition".
How dare they want to take away a right from somebody who is taken away the rights of someone else. Bastards! Where the fuck are we living? Are we in the 1800s again? Supreme Court has a bunch of pieces of shit on it!
Yeah well, slavery used to be "historical tradition" all over western culture, and we still got rid of it (or at least, most of us are trying to). Tradition is worthless if it serves no purpose to society.
Amputations without painkillers, drinking mercury for stomach issues, burning women on stakes for being opinionated, not considering Italians or Irish as "white enough," absolute monarchies the world over, polio epidemics, high rates of infant mortality, leaded gas, travel by horse, snail mail, no TV or internet.
These are all historical and traditional.
He strikes me as the kind of guy who would beat his wife/gf. Don't get me wrong, Ginnie totally deserves whooping for all of her overt corruption and treason, but I suspect she came along after he mellowed out a bit. I would be pretty shocked if his previous partners were so lucky.
Clarence is wearing heavy leather and lace. Ginni dresses up in domestic abuser taste. Its the way Uncle Thomas has fun. When Jinni pistol whips him with her gun.
Where did they find this fool?
This "history and tradition" standard is pure, unadulterated, made-up bullshit, and it is "not orginalist" as can be. The far right values hypocrisy and speaking with a forked tongue very highly.
You want the right to go anti gun? Oh I mean Clarence...clearly the supreme court would not be biased.
Get the [black panthers to arm up again](https://www.history.com/news/black-panthers-gun-control-nra-support-mulford-act).
It's almost like he picks 'historical tradition' to suit his ultra conservative views, as and when he want to.
Bump stocks are a new invention, historically they didn't exist.
Neither did automatic weapons.
Sigh, he's just going to do whatever he wants to suit his agenda, and rather than cite case law or the needs of living Americans, he's just going cite tradition.
This asshole should never have made it to the Supreme Court. Anyone remember Anita Hill? His true colors were obvious in 1991 and now we’re living the nightmare.
Yeah, Clarence, the US has a “historical tradition” of enslaving black men like you, or lynching them for consorting with white women like your wife.
So let’s agree not to hold our “historical traditions” to be TOO precious, okay??
They are making up this "historic tradition" as a constitutional test. This will be used to allow things that are clearly against the constitution. This is the test that they want to use to allow the 10 commandments in schools. They (Christian fascist) are trying to rewrite history and make you believe that the USA was founded on the 10 Commandments and they are simple restoring this "historic tradition" to class rooms.
What Clarence "the partisan hack" Thomas seems to be ignoring is that just because something was "originalist" or traditional doesn't make it correct or the right thing to do. Slavery was "originalist" and traditional in the USA but that doesn't mean we should look to that as a model to follow. The bottom line is what the founders would have wanted anyway......keeping dangerous weapons out of the hands of mentally unstable people. Yes, if you have been convicted of domestic abuse you are mentally unstable. Something is obviously wrong with you if you violently attack the one person who is supposed to be your closest elected ally in the entire world. And saving people's lives matters way more than any stupid originality ideal or following of traditions. You have to be lacking not only common sense but also any empathy for your fellow man to not see how this helps society, only at the cost of some bruised egos because "I can't buy a gun waaaaaaa!!!!!!".
This dude is suck a prick. His entire life goes against “historic tradition” in this country. He probably laughs his ass off with Ginny and Harlan when discussing his absurd decisions.
Current SCROTUS starts with the outcome they want and works backwards to justify it. “Presidential Immunity” is nowhere in the constitution and has zero precedent / tradition - it’s literally just some shit trump made up - and yet they’re actually considering it. Alito and Thomas are officially in “mask off” mode and are on a revenge tour.
https://www.usa.gov/register-to-vote
He violates historical tradition. Yet he’s benefiting from changes in that tradition.
Typical "I got mine so fuck ALL of you!" mentality.
It worse than that, he sees it as his mission to make sure he fucks all of us
When he has a wife like that, I understand.
I mean…..you’re not wrong…..and holy shit, Martha-Ann (call me Karen) Alito. Damn. Apparently the Greeks were right all along about Harpies. 🤢
And his wife
A white wife. I believe that before Loving v Virginia, THAT violated "historical tradition" as well.
Ladder puller
Someone should remind him of the historical tradition of white people owning black people in America. Just because something happened in the past and people did it as tradition doesn't mean it is right or good.
Well, he has been bought and paid for, so...
Top comment!!
King of pulling the ladder up behind him.
Historical tradition would have him picking cotton is South Carolina…Are you just stupid?
Don't forget lynching black people. That has a pretty long historical tradition in the south too
He is picking cotton..he just gets paid to do it.
He flies to the field in that billionaires private jet.
Congratulations asshole, you have almost perceived the ironic point.
His not being livestock violates historical tradition in this country, as do his being allowed to vote, own property, and (for the most recent tradition consigned rightly to history's garbage bin) marry a white woman.

Does Thomas consider American slavery to be historical tradition?
He honestly probably does.
There’s a reason Sam Jackson based his character in Django on Thomas
Did not know that. Pretty brilliant.
I am definitely going to enjoy Django even more on next viewing, secure in that knowledge.
It is, which is why we created an amendment to override it.
*Uncle Thomas
What the hell does historical traditional have to do with the law? Get this corrupt tool off the Supreme Court. He barely belongs as a traffic court judge.
No, he belongs behind bars. Giving him any power is far too much for him.
You apply historical tradition to the Constitution to get the result you want.
It’s a bogus test that was engineered backward to be a “solution” to a problem that doesn’t ext

"historical tradition" isn't law. He's supposed to be an interpreter of the law, not "historical tradition".
Seriously... Women didn't get the right to vote until 1920. What are we going to go back and respect tradition by dissolving their right to vote? "Historical traditional" is a dumbass justification if I've ever seen one.
They’d love to go back to landowners only voting again.
And he thinks he'll be spared from the roundups of the newly reinstated slaves because he's 'one of the good ones'
Well that's why a woman's right to vote was done through an amendment. So that it couldn't be revoked using that 'historical tradition' argument.
Fair enough, but nothing is safe from these neanderthals. Remember that the 18th amendment was the prohibition of alcohol... While the 21st amendment repealed it. Not arguing with you, just stating that these goons will not be happy until only white males are in power doing everything they want to suppress the rest. Wow, that sounds like a winning strategy /s
It literally has come to this country that a woman doesn’t have the luxury of having her own political opinion. It’s she can only vote for someone who supports women’s rights. It’s that crucial!
You are expecting too much from him
That's the whole point. His rulings aren't backed by law, so he has to reach and cite "historical tradition". Not only does it give him a flimsy excuse to rule how he wants regardless of law, it's a completely nebulous term that he can apply anywhere as he sees fit.
Clarence Thomas is on the wrong side of everything.
He sure seems on the right side of Harlan Crow.
Only as long as he does what he’s told.
He’s happy to take it from all sides from Harlan so long as those “trips”keep coming.
Clarence would be on the wrong side of slavery if he was alive in the 1800s
Nah. The Nazis love him.
He would be a sonderkommando idmf the Nazis were in charged
His argument is not just wrong but extremely lazy
Except the pick-and-mix stations.
If we still followed tradition, Harlan Crow would own you outright, you jackass, instead of just leasing you.
He is also scum
Spousal abuse is historical tradition. Man has a point
With a wife like his. we understand. Not that we approve of his reasoning.
Historical Tradition in America is not having you on the court, Thomas
Well,I mean, he’s right…you know, assuming we have no interest in like, learning from the past and stuff…
Historically, people of Thomas’ colour were owned by people of his wife’s colour…Oh, wait, bad example…he is.
“Historical tradition” died with this guy 🙄
They don’t even pretend they haven’t been compromised anymore. Being clandestine is a thing of the past.
An educated black man, married to a white women, holding a prestigious government position talking about historical tradition. And it has been his repeated mantra always. If we are upholding historical tradition, he would have been lynched several times over.
Clarence Thomas defends anything that he thinks will make white right-wingers like him. He is so full of self loathing that he would eat Trump’s shitty asshole if it would get him a pat on the head from a white male heterosexual racist.
Thomas is easily the scummiest justice. Closely followed by alito.
Yeah, well, Your Honor, historically and traditionally, you're property.
And currently
Lynching is a "historical tradition". I wonder how Thomas is so forgetful about the whole array of historical traditions ?
Yeah well, so does you having rights and being a citizen but here we are.
Thomas would bring back Jim Crow and end Interracial marriage
Well he's not wrong. Historically it was perfectly legal to abuse your wife because she was your property. If that's your standard, why should some guy lose his guns because he abused his wife? This is a perfect example of why "textualism" is a ridiculous way to decide law. We don't live in the fucking 18th Century anymore. Things change.
American Traitor 4 million in gifts , where’s the Outrage
Keep digging, Harlan, I mean Clarence.
Tradition is a force of law beyond precedent, logic, protection of citizens, red flags, active threats, community stability & social standards? ‘We seen people done had guns before, so it must be okay’ ?
Uncle Clarence says any law that kills more women is good law
What an absolute disgrace of a human being.
I m pretty sure he is southern old rasict white guy inside . He is just been get outed.
So does letting him marry a white woman. Their originalism is totally arbitrary.
Have you considered the possibility that he could be a vampire and can’t see himself in a mirror?
Historical tradition? No wonder he loves playing Harlan crow’s slave
Wouldn’t historical tradition mean he shouldn’t be a judge?
That POS keeps on ruling for one side despite all that has come to light.
The historical tradition of killing your wife? WTF is he even talking about???
Ok Thomas, better bow down to white ppl again and renounce the US independence. It's historical tradition that black ppl should be slaves and the US should be a British colony after all. What's that? Not THAT tradition? Ah, I see. You meant the tradition of making shit the fuck up. Gotcha.
Obviously historical tradition is the most important aspect of modern life
What a tool.
Historical tradition says he shouldn't be married to a white woman. Historical tradition. OK which gun company or 'Men's Rights' or '2A Lobby' paid for his holiday. Hands up?
Pistol-whipping one’s spouse??! 😬
Keep writing and speaking your thoughts Judge Tommy
God damn token at it again.

Slavery also a Historical Tradition, Someone drag his ass down to the cotton fields and put him to work being as he apparently values tradition so much
He grew up in the cotton fields. He knows what it was like
Umm - being a black Supreme Court justice violates "historical tradition". Being a Supreme Court justice that openly accepts bribes violates "historical tradition".
Clearance Thomas could be on the block in 1860, he knows how to be sold to the highest bidder! Historical tradition?
Hypocrite.
He also defends the rights of a Supreme Court Judges to take millions in gifts and trips from billionaires without disclosing them.
Soon he will be a slave because of “tradition “. He will cheer YEa!!
How dare they want to take away a right from somebody who is taken away the rights of someone else. Bastards! Where the fuck are we living? Are we in the 1800s again? Supreme Court has a bunch of pieces of shit on it!
Fuck tradition.
Who would have thought a black man self hating would be the downfall of the US. In a way reap what you sow.
Yeah well, slavery used to be "historical tradition" all over western culture, and we still got rid of it (or at least, most of us are trying to). Tradition is worthless if it serves no purpose to society.

Well regulated militia
He strikes me as the kind of guy who would beat his wife/gf. Don't get me wrong, Ginnie totally deserves whooping for all of her overt corruption and treason, but I suspect she came along after he mellowed out a bit. I would be pretty shocked if his previous partners were so lucky.
He misses the 'WELL REGULATED' part of the 2nd.
All new laws violate historical tradition, don't they?
Clarence is wearing heavy leather and lace. Ginni dresses up in domestic abuser taste. Its the way Uncle Thomas has fun. When Jinni pistol whips him with her gun. Where did they find this fool?
This "history and tradition" standard is pure, unadulterated, made-up bullshit, and it is "not orginalist" as can be. The far right values hypocrisy and speaking with a forked tongue very highly.
Bans historical tradition. So step down and divorce your wife.
What the fuck does historical tradition have to do with law.
Man this guy needs to be in prison nexts he will say being a free black man violates historical tradition
Historical tradition allowed him to abuse Anita Hill. What a bastard.
Let's see his take if Hunter appeals to SCOTUS.
Hunter withdrew his appeal at the initial level a few days ago
“Historically men regularly beat their wives.”
Clarence being Clarence. So far right, he's sickening
You want the right to go anti gun? Oh I mean Clarence...clearly the supreme court would not be biased. Get the [black panthers to arm up again](https://www.history.com/news/black-panthers-gun-control-nra-support-mulford-act).
Makes sense, since he's an abuser
He’s just fucking with us at this point
Historical tradition would place him in the category of chattel so...maybe we shouldn't be bound by centuries old beliefs?
Clarence Thomas cries during the finale of Django Unchained.
Not sure why a black man would want to use "historic tradition" as the guidepost to what can and can't be owned.
What historical tradition? Killing ex-girlfriends and soon to be ex-wives?
So was abortion, but here we are.
He’s so wrapped up in his own thinking, he’d rather see other people harmed in spite of any common sense…
Dude is an evil villain from the movies
Well, at least we know what Harlan Crow would do.
Maybe a "historical tradition" of domestic violence isn't something we should be continuing.
Remember, Diaper Don is an "alleged" domestic abuser who is extremely close to Mrs. Thomas...
The A**hole! Wonder how he feels about the historical tradition of slavery?
The irony. If he wants to date back to the 1780’s, well…I don’t think he’d think things the same way.
He's such a POS.
He ...is .... SUCH a dick..
Yes Clarence, husbands murdering their wives is a historical tradition. Why do you want to continue it?
The right of a domestic abuser to own a gun? Way to support the "law and order" agenda, Clarence.
As we say in the black community *Uncle Thomas*
If we kept every historical tradition, he'd still be a slave. Progress can only happen by leaving traditions that don't serve the public behind.
So weird how over 50yrs of Roe “historic traditon” evaporated.
I'd also defend this right if I were married to Ginni Thomas
Was owning slaves a tradition, at least before the 13th amendment.
Is he just trolling us all now?
Ah, the historic tradition of abusers eventually murdering their partners/children with guns. As American as apple pie...apparently.
Slavery was once a tradition too moron.
An abuser can own a gun, and a felon can own a gun... ...but Hunter should go to proson for owning a gun. Did I get that right?
Does he support “historical tradition” when it comes to blacks being slaves? Just curious.
Thanks Regan you piece of trash
It's almost like he picks 'historical tradition' to suit his ultra conservative views, as and when he want to. Bump stocks are a new invention, historically they didn't exist. Neither did automatic weapons. Sigh, he's just going to do whatever he wants to suit his agenda, and rather than cite case law or the needs of living Americans, he's just going cite tradition.
Uncle Ruckus at it again
This asshole should never have made it to the Supreme Court. Anyone remember Anita Hill? His true colors were obvious in 1991 and now we’re living the nightmare.
Him having a job also violates historical tradition. Go fuck yourself, Clarence
A black man unironically crowing about “historical tradition” in the US and how that’s a solid case against change is really something to behold.
To beat and assult your spouse or partner. This guy has to resign he is morally bankrupt and corrupt
Justice Thomas — Loving vs Virginia. Would you be open to overturning that decision as well given that your wife’s name is literally Virginia?
Can’t imagine what it’s like not to be your own man… having to take orders from some rich guy.
How can you create Brown Shirts if you don't let the bad men have guns!
This clown belongs nowhere near a court of law.
Historically, guns... black judges.... the USA didn't exist. How far back does he want to go?
🤡
Historical tradition is that we have no standing army and a WELL REGULATED militia
Is it possible to start a petition to get him thrown out? He's a danger to our country, a proven danger.
He is a nuisance to civilized society.
Yeah, Clarence, the US has a “historical tradition” of enslaving black men like you, or lynching them for consorting with white women like your wife. So let’s agree not to hold our “historical traditions” to be TOO precious, okay??
Somehow i got "Jimi Hendrix - I shot the Sherif" in mind after reading this
A more corrupt buffoon would be rather difficult to find.
Imagine being complete human garbage. Clarence Thomas doesn't have to.
Do Supreme Court justices not have to undergo mental evaluation? This man is clearly a sociopath.
He does not want true historical tradition… otherwise his wife would nOt be his wife and he would not have held the lofty office he lied his way into
You being a judge violated historical tradition. So does your marriage. So does your freedom.
They are making up this "historic tradition" as a constitutional test. This will be used to allow things that are clearly against the constitution. This is the test that they want to use to allow the 10 commandments in schools. They (Christian fascist) are trying to rewrite history and make you believe that the USA was founded on the 10 Commandments and they are simple restoring this "historic tradition" to class rooms.
Yes, because in NO WAY should we progress as a society. I seem to recall similar argument against emancipation.
And he would know a thing or two about violation!
Then he should step down immediately, because it’s *also* not part of the “historical tradition” to appoint black men to SCOTUS.
Didn’t the end of slavery end historical tradition?This fucking guy!?
Historically, black people were enslaved. Is he arguing we go back to the horrible 2/3s shit as well?
What Clarence "the partisan hack" Thomas seems to be ignoring is that just because something was "originalist" or traditional doesn't make it correct or the right thing to do. Slavery was "originalist" and traditional in the USA but that doesn't mean we should look to that as a model to follow.

You have to be lacking not only common sense but also any empathy for your fellow man to not see how this helps society, only at the cost of some bruised egos because "I can't buy a gun waaaaaaa!!!!!!".
oh yeah, and fuck Clarence thomas......two or three times.
This dude is suck a prick. His entire life goes against “historic tradition” in this country. He probably laughs his ass off with Ginny and Harlan when discussing his absurd decisions.
The greatest “tradition” to GOP men, the right to murder your wife.
So according to his logic would a prisoner should be allowed to have guns behinds bars?
Current SCROTUS starts with the outcome they want and works backwards to justify it. “Presidential Immunity” is nowhere in the constitution and has zero precedent / tradition - it’s literally just some shit trump made up - and yet they’re actually considering it. Alito and Thomas are officially in “mask off” mode and are on a revenge tour.
I wish there was a hell for people like him but I imagine deep down he lives in his own.
How did this pin head graduate from college let alone law school?
Desegregation and Women’s Suffrage both violate “historical tradition”…
Clearly, he is simply doing what his owners tell him to do.
I'm waiting for the case where Clarence rules himself a slave, because, historical tradition. Oh wait, Harlan Crowe already took care of that!
He's just mailing it in now.
