Clarence Thomas Wrecks Another Race Argument at SCOTUS

Katie Pavlich / Townhall Tipsheet

 

Supreme Court Clarence Thomas isn't buying arguments that the Voting Rights Act allows for congressional districts to be drawn along racial lines (more specifically to help Democrats retain power in Washington D.C.).  

During a back and fourth with Louisiana Solicitor General Benjamin Aguinaga Wednesday, who is opposed to race based lines, Thomas argued an all black district in the state wouldn't exist without the state being forced to consider race in districting. 

"Would the maps that Louisiana have currently be used if they were not forced to consider race?" Thomas asked. 

"We drew it because the courts told us to!" Aguinaga explained. "They said a majority black district was required. And our legislature saw the marching order."

The smackdown comes as Thomas celebrates 34 years on the bench - a long and successful career Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee tried to sabotage. See X and video here.

Zohran Mamdani will finally have to answer for his sickening antisemitism at NYC mayoral debate

Michael Goodwin / Opinion / NEW YORK POST

For the better part of a year, Zohran Mamdani has not paid a political price for his sickening anti-Israel and anti-Jewish positions and comments. 

Thursday’s mayoral debate promises to be the end of the honeymoon. 

Not that his opponents, Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa, needed more ammunition, given the Queens assemblyman’s reckless tax plans and anti-police, pro-criminal agenda. 

But Cuomo and Sliwa will come to the crucial face-off bearing fresh evidence that the socialist front-runner is unfit to be dog catcher, let alone mayor of New York. 

The smoking gun is Mamdani’s outrageous reaction to the end of the war in Gaza and the return of 20 living Israeli hostages. 

His Monday statement never mentioned the Hamas invasion of Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, an effort that can only be described as a putrid whitewash of the slaughter, rape and infanticide that marked the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust.
