Let's not overlook this tidbit in Lawrence v. Texas:
FROM THE DISSENT By Justice Thomas
I write separately to note that the law before the Court today "is . . . uncommonly silly." If I were a member of the Texas Legislature, I would vote to repeal it. Punishing someone for expressing his sexual preference through noncommercial consensual conduct with another adult does not appear to be a worthy way to expend valuable law enforcement resources. . . .
OK, now, a show of hands: How many of you believe, if Clarence Thomas really were "a member of the Texas legislature," he'd risk his position by defying the knuckledraggers who voted him into office, and vote to end the continued criminalization of homosexual sodomy in Texas?
Anyone? Anyone?
Didn't think so.
[Psst: Clarence. The interview's over; you already GOT the job.
You can stop the LYING now!]
