I suspect you have tweeted these documents bc you can foresee a revolution in bail proceedings nationwide if other jurisdictions follow.Cont
As of today, SCOTUS, though not deciding on the merits, has refused to stay an order not to require bonds in misdemeanor cases? Cont.
I am absolutely baffled. Justice Thomas typically hates defendants like many humans hate frogs and snakes. Why is he offering a lifeline?
He is oddly principled. Doesn't mean he is wise or a good Justice.
I always believed Justice Thomas to be a strict ideologue whose decisions could be foretold by e.g what Jeff Session would think.
This action by Justice Thomas is, for me, like seeing a snail running and winning a marathon.
I am experiencing cognitive dissonance. This is not the expected behavior of Clarence Thomas. Is he suddenly afraid of going to Hell?
Aren't you surprised by Justice Thomas' refusal of a stay? Doesn't this mean SCOTUS sees no harm to County in letting TRO stand for now?
Sorry. I am just shocked! (Exclamation point instead of caps.) I can't remember Justice Thomas saying or doing *anything* for defendants.
