Justice Clarence Thomas Wants to Overturn Landmark Libel Case

[Frodo]

Following Trump's lead, an activist conservative justice wants to overturn the 1964 New York Times vs Sullivan ruling:

Justice Clarence Thomas calls for reconsideration of landmark libel case

Everyone remember reading Anthony Lewis' book, 'Make No Law: The Sullivan Case and the First Amendment' in their AP US Government class?

if he doesn't retire under Trump - the next time there's a democratic president - we need to RICO him and once he resigns, drop the charges. That'll hopefully show guys like Alito and Gorsuch that we're on to you.

I already knew he was "an activist conservative Justice" before he said this. He's the last remaining member of the Bush v. Gore majority. I also disapprove of Thomas's dissenting opinion in the case of U.S. Term Limits v. Thornton; I knew then, in 1995, that he and the other dissenters were not interested in "the original meaning of the Constitution."
