Clarence Thomas isn’t just talking hypotheticals — he’s signaling that the conservative-majority Court is coming for our rights.
John,
Justice Clarence Thomas just told us exactly what we’ve feared: precedent doesn’t matter. “Decided cases aren’t the gospel,” he said — and some may have been based on “something somebody dreamt up and others went along with.”
He’s not kidding. Thomas isn’t just talking hypotheticals — he’s signaling that he, along with the conservative-majority Court, is coming for the rights and protections millions of Americans rely on. That means nothing is safe.
We’ve already seen the consequences:
-
Roe v. Wade: decades of settled law ripped away in an instant.
-
Birthright citizenship: under threat like never before.
-
LGBTQ+ protections: hard-fought legal safeguards hanging by a thread in courts that see precedent as “optional.”
And this is just the beginning. If precedent can be tossed aside on a whim, every right, every protection, every law we rely on is at risk — from healthcare and voting rights to environmental protections. The Court is poised to strike down generations of law just to please Trump and his allies.
We can’t afford to sit back and hope for the best. Demand Justice is exposing these justices’ true intentions and holding them accountable. But we need your help to fight back.
Will you chip in $5 now to hold Clarence Thomas and the conservative Supreme Court accountable before more rights are erased?
