As I’ve stated & written repeatedly through the decades, there’s absolutely no chance ANY University of California campus, let alone our alma mater, would today ever hire world class Straussian professors like Marvin Zetterbaum & Larry Peterman, or Political Science department founder Clyde Jacobs. Their intellectual rigor, objectivity, and unsurpassed academic and pedagogic excellence have been replaced by ideological mediocrities, whose extreme partisanship and narrow-minded, rigid groupthink they would abhor. My life has been profoundly enriched by my time under these fine men’s tutelage. It is a tragedy that future generations of students will not be afforded the opportunity to study under, learn from and emulate such fine minds and outstanding individuals. Best always, George. Keep fighting for freedom and having fun.

Justice Clarence Thomas took a blowtorch to the 8 Supreme Court Justices who established the despicable “separate but equal” doctrine in Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896 that sanctioned racial segregation.

Justice Thomas says they acted with “cowardice.”

“It could not have taken my Court sixty years to know that Plessy was a hideous wrong and that racial segregation was grossly incompatible with our colorblind Constitution.

The Justices must have known it all along.

The right thing to do, as Justice Harlan spelled out in his lone dissent at the time, was obvious as it so often is.

What stood in the way was cowardice.

The Justices were afraid of the societal consequences.

They were afraid of coming under political fire.

They were afraid that, if they began to enforce a colorblind Constitution, they would have to address interracial marriage next.

So, for sixty disgraceful years, they made American children like me grow in racial caste system because it was easier to do nothing than do the right thing.”
------
Because the Justices used social science (the infamous doll study) to strike down racial segregation in schools in Brown, rather than on an equal protection clause basis, the Court delayed striking down anti-miscegenation laws until 1967, another disgraceful episode.

THAT is why Justice Thomas has criticized Brown. In his view, the Supreme Court should have struck down those disgraceful laws on equal protection grounds, echoing the Declaration’s promise that all men are created equal.

In Justice Thomas’s view, the Justices hid behind social science out of fear of reaffirming the simple truth that all men are created equal and endowed with certain inalienable rights.

This is why Justice Thomas does not give a damn about judicial precedent. He has personally felt the lash of a barbaric ruling and there was no reason whatsoever to give it any deference. And he believes there are many cases like this.

Justice Thomas’s courage to take as his guiding light the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution without any regard to the barnacles that have attached to these documents is why he is our nation’s greatest Justice.

The speech is titled “Remarks on the 250th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence,” delivered at @UTAustin on April 15, 2026. (link below to full speech)

Perhaps the smartest response I've recieved on AI:

"It's completely absurd on the surface that companies driving trillions of dollars in market value create systems that hallucinate a 50-year-old movie quote from National Lampoon's Animal House (1978)."

@RepRoKhanna You genuinely believe @realDonaldTrump should get SEVEN IMMEDIATE APPOINTMENTS to the #SCOTUS, ALL of whom would be granted 18 year terms?!

"Now" means now. Your terms are acceptable.

But we all know you want to pack the Court with radical activists. So no thanks. #SHAMEFUL

@RussellLowery10 @J_Gallagher4CA Bravo, Russell!! Agree 1000%. In
a political world – California and across the nation – where there are very few true “good guys,” @J_Gallagher4CA is without question at the front of the pack!ANY EFFORT TO SMEAR HIS CHARACTER OR GOOD NAME IS DESPICABLE.

South Carolina has had a Black Secretary of State, a Black State Treasurer, two Black Lieutenant Governors, a Black Attorney General, and one of their U.S. Senators is Black.

ALL Republicans, by the way.

I remember when people were too embarrassed to display their ignorance.

@TheKevinDalton @CAgovernor So when a Silicon Valley centimillionaire family leaves the hospital with their newborn, CA taxpayer-funded diapers will go with them, courtesy of #GaslightGavin ?! Mighty progressive - and wasteful - of him. At least a means-tested program would focus on the truly poor. Shame.

@McCormickProf Will there be a live stream, simulcast or later re-broadcast? Have to believe I am one of many, MANY thousands, who would welcome the opportunity to watch this.
