Reading Representative Justin Pearson's final statement to the Tennessee legislature reminded me a bit of David Walker's fiery rhetoric from almost two-hundred years ago. Walker belongs in that "long line of people who have resisted."
If the allegations are true, Clarence Thomas should be impeached. Also, this is a serious acid test for Chief Justice Roberts. Let's see how he handles it.

Yes-David Walker was formerly enslaved. His written appeal was powerful. He was actually murdered in Boston for his protests-not in the South. Racism is a feature of American life-has been since the beginning. Thankful for all resistors-too many who have given their lives and livelihoods.

He won’t.
Representative Justin Pearson’s words were so befitting the requirements of our current political circumstances.
I think Roberts must “handle it”. It is such transparent corruption.
We wish Roberts would “handle it.” But he has shown himself to be both weak and corruptible (Citizens United).
I predict the chief Justice will do nothing 🙁
He is as afraid of being accused of bias as the Judiciary Comm and Bush the first when Thomas was confirmed even after Anita Hill testified.

We should be surrounding the Supreme Court with protestors until that "pubic hair on my coke can" is gone. Disgusting.
