DALLAS, Texas (LifeSiteNews) – Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas told media that he will leave his position as Supreme Court Justice when “I do my job as poorly as you do yours.”
On Friday, during a discussion on racial inequality and the Supreme Court at the Old Park Conference, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, who is African-American, condemned the media for their constant criticism of him.
“One of the things I’d say in response to the media is when they talk about, especially early on, about the way I did my job,” he said.
“I said, ‘I will absolutely leave the court when I do my job as poorly as you do yours’—and that was meant as a compliment really,” Thomas continued.
Mainstream media outlets have consistently targeted the pro-life, conservative justice. In February of this year, the Washington Post issued a “clarification” following an article alleging that Thomas’s views were similar to those of a “white conservative.”

The Post retracted the statement, asserting that his views were more aligned with conservatives in general rather than specifically white conservatives.
Similarly, during 2020 election night coverage, MSNBC host Joy Reid called Thomas “Uncle Clarence,” in an unsubtle reference to the “Uncle Tom” slur.
“I think what scares people is that if [President Trump] decides to do something that legally makes no sense … but if they somehow manage to stumble into the Supreme Court, do any of you guys trust Uncle Clarence and Amy Coney Barrett and those guys to actually follow the letter of the law?” she asked.
SIGN this petition urging the Chief Justice and all the Associate Justices to PUBLISH the decision to overturn Roe now!
Don't allow pro-abortion leftists to pressure Supreme Court justices to change their vote to overturn Roe!
According to an initial leaked draft majority opinion allegedly written by Justice Samuel Alito and obtained by Politico, the U.S. Supreme Court has voted to overturn its nearly 50-year-old Roe v. Wade decision, which imposed abortion on demand across the country.
As reported by Politico, the opinion is “a full-throated, unflinching repudiation of the 1973 decision."
Of course, if this decision holds, this would be the best news in decades, thanks be to God!
However, leftists in Washington and in the media will stop at nothing to prevent Roe from being overturned.
But, intimidation and threats cannot be permitted to influence the Court, especially on this most fundamental human rights ruling.
That's why - right now - it's essential to urge the High Court to PUBLISH the ruling which overturns Roe.
SIGN this petition urging the Chief Justice and all the Associate Justices to PUBLISH the decision to overturn Roe now!
The leak of a drafted opinion is unprecedented in Supreme Court history and is sending shockwaves through the legal world.
Rumors are swirling about who could've leaked this seminal ruling, and what Chief Justice Roberts and the FBI will do about it.
But, this is a distraction from the real news which is that the Supreme Court is on the verge of righting one of the worst legal decisions ever made in the United States.
Over 60 million babies have been killed in the U.S. since the 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling, a colossal evil that has been allowed to stand for too long.
That's why we need to tell the Members of the U.S. Supreme Court to stand strong and PUBLISH THE RULING NOW!
Thank you for SIGNING and SHARING this urgent petition.

When news of the leaked draft opinion which could overturn Roe v. Wade reached the public, Thomas condemned the breach of trust.
“I do think that what happened at the Court is tremendously bad … I wonder how long we’re going to have these institutions at the rate we’re undermining them,” Thomas said.
In 2020, Thomas condemned the abortion ruling and called for Roe v. Wade and “its progeny” to be overruled as being irreconcilable with the Constitution.
