@lovendures So I was raised with the concept of "if you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all" and so I am going to nod at this article and see myself out.
@lovendures and @lenor, I seem to recall some predictions about health issues for Justice Thomas.
@lovendures Thanks for this update. Do you or anyone have thoughts about what is right action for us when someone who is harmful to so many people gets sick? How do we react to this news? I only know to send loving kindness and trust that it sets people right. But I'd love to hear people's thoughts.
@gracesinger, a wonderful community member who used to post here a lot, had the best prayers for people who were harming the world.
About Trump, she once prayed:
"I see Trump, Sessions, and all the GOP leaders and border agents stripped of their protective clothing down to their most vulnerable skin. I see the highest part of me connecting with compassionate angels who then rush to these people where they touch the wounds and ..."
"And may the highest part of me touch the highest part of [the bad guy] and all involved in this crisis. May angels surround him and penetrate his wounds with healing light so that he allows his heart to rule his final actions. May the American people and the Congress and the military be touched and surrounded with healing light that no one will be harmed."
@jeanne-mayell Been grappling myself With how to feel about this so thank you for this post
Some people might view this as a message from God. A message that it is time to retire and focus on their physical, emotional and spiritual health.
I will pray that Justice Thomas is lead to do the highest and greatest good for his health and the health of the country. I will say that prayer with sincerity and hope.
I have given this a lot of thought and believe this something I can do right now.
All I got is the rabbi’s blessing for the Tsar in Fiddler on the Roof:
” May God bless and keep the Tsar….far away from us!”
I just ask the he (or any other person who is actively doing massive harm) be removed to where they can do no more harm. I imagine an offramp, and that person walking down it. Maybe I should wish the best for the harmful person, but in the case it Thomas, I can't, so why fight with myself?
He's an extremist who has benefited from so much of what he seeks to prevent others from accessing. He needs to go. An offramp to what I am sure is a comfortable life isn't such a bad thing, especially for someone who has been a blight on the court.
Every time I think that he's in Thurgood Marshall's seat I can't take it. Wouldn't it be something to get that seat back and fill it with a true legal scholar and not some political hack?
As a newcomer to training my intuition and meditation, the one “truth” I rely on is that we are all one creation of the Creator. What happens to one happens to us all. It is how we can read people, animals, trees, etc. They are us. One.
I gravitated to this website because of Jeanne’s “loving kindness” orientation. It is a “love the sinner, hate the sin” proposition, and it is hard I know. But striving to heal the wounds, surround in light, asking for greatest good is the way to raise our individual vibrations and therefore all our vibrations. That is the way to make sure good triumphs over evil.
What are we doing in life if not reaching for the greatest learning?
My general “blessing” for awful people dealing with injury or illness is to wish them the same care & compassion that they have shown to others; nothing more, nothing less.
@theungamer Here is all I found checking the RTF’s and Random predictions.
- Clarence Thomas in the news. (Lovendures) 3/121 for June-December 2022
- I feel like SCJ Clarence Thomas may retire due to health issues or perhaps legal issues with his wife, but he won’t say. (Rowsella) 2/1/22 for August 2022
- Something is going on with Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.( Deetoo) 2/122 for January 2023
If you haven't seen her, you've got to see this woman push back at the Republican accusations that she is too weak on sex crimes. Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson gives us all a judge's-eye view of what it is like for a wise person in the position of judge to sentence people who have committed child sex crimes, especially those who purchased child pornography and thought they hadn't done anything that should merit a prison sentence and the stamp of sex offender.
Jackson on Hawley claims: "Nothing Could be Further from the Truth."
If I were a Repub, I'd be very nervous if this woman gets confirmed. She is the opposite of Clarence Thomas in terms of strength, wisdom, and a lifetime of service.
I'm sharing this poem in honor of the Supreme Court confirmation of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson. The poet Lucille Clifton is on the attached youtube link.

won't you celebrate with me
by Lucille Cliftonwon't you celebrate with me
what i have shaped into
a kind of life? i had no model.
born in babylon
both nonwhite and woman
what did i see to be except myself?
i made it up
here on this bridge between
starshine and clay,
my one hand holding tight
my other hand; come celebrate
with me that everyday
something has tried to kill me
and has failed.Clifton, Lucille, “won't you celebrate with me” from Book of Light, (Copper Canyon Press, 1993)
The news about Gini Thomas out today is simply DAMNING!
I think it likely this is why Thomas will exit the court. He will be on his way out, I can feel it. It is fitting with the dream I had of him a few weeks ago too.
Emails prove she actively tried to get 2 AZ lawmakers to overturn Trump's election loss.

I hope your dream comes true!!! He's been on the court too long and never should have been in the first place.
@lovendures Here is more news on that subject ... https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/may/20/ginni-thomas-2020-election-arizona-emails
The article quoted a tweet
by New Yorker reporter Jane Mayer who wrote:
"Clarence Thomas, Meyer said, is godfather “to Clint Bolick’s child, and Bolick’s wife is the Arizona lawmaker who Ginni Thomas pressured to overturn the 2020 election.
“No conflicts of interest?”
In case anyone wants to read the opinion overruling Roe, here it is:

The dissent, by Breyer, Kagan and Sotomayor, is simply delicious in its takedown of the majority. I'd avoid the majority opinion altogether as it's nauseating, and I'd focus on the last 66 pages.
