      13. Here's a great @CoreyRobin essay on Thomas, black nationalism, and constitutional conservatism.

      14. The liberal snickers about Thomas being dumb, Scalia's puppet, silent, etc. are both racist and completely false.

      15. Far from being dumb, Thomas is a dauntingly creative (and dangerous) legal thinker who has laid out a novel radical position.

      16. As far as I know, there's no precedence for Thomas' fusion of black nationalism with originalism. That's a novel position.

      17. @CoreyRobin has found an interesting precursor for jibe about Thomas being clueless in court:https://twitter.com/whitesaid/status/616823885426638848 …

      18. Many things to criticize Thomas about without claiming he's wearing "blackface": treatment of Anita Hill, terrible legal philosophy

      19. Did Thomas sexually harass Anita Hill? Based on the evidence, almost certainly. Is Thomas's legal philosophy deeply reactionary. Yep.

      20. There are many deeper critiques to be made of Thomas' version of black nationalism, but its nature has to be acknowledged.

      21. There's a tradition of black nationalism that feels more comfortable working with white racists than with white liberals.

      22. I'm thinking here of Marcus Garvey's attempts to meet the KKK. He wanted to negotiate with the honest enemy.

          @HeerJeet This is FASCINATING. Garvey KNEW the KKK WAS an enemy. Thomas gives no indication racism even EXISTS judging from #VRA decision.

          @darryn_briggs How much of that comes from stylistic expectations of a judicial opinion? Ie Ltr from Bir Jail too strident for legal opinion

          @HeerJeet Sure. They have separatism in common. Garvey + the UNIA advocated moving Back to Africa. Can you be a black nationalist w/o that?

          @HeerJeet BN is complex: The racial pessimism you ID (sm wd say realism) + racial identity as national identity + self-reliance +separatism.
