https://people.com/movies/samuel-l-jackson-calls-out-clarence-thomas-leaving-interracial-marriage-off-list-targets/

The Academy Award honoree, 73, called out Justice Clarence Thomas' after Thomas suggested the court should reconsider other key decisions, including the 2015 case establishing the right to same-sex marriage, following the SCOTUS decision to overturn 1973's Roe v. Wade and the constitutional right to abortion.

"How's Uncle Clarence feeling about Overturning Loving v Virginia??!!" Jackson wrote Friday on Twitter, referring to the landmark 1967 ruling that found interracial marriage bans unconstitutional. Justice Thomas, 74, a Black man, has been married to wife Virginia Thomas, a white woman, since 1987.

Thomas, who was nominated by President George H. W. Bush as the second Black person to ever serve on the Supreme Court in 1991, wrote in a concurring opinion that SCOTUS should next "reconsider" the rulings that legalized birth control, sodomy and same-sex marriage.

As Stephen, Mr. Jackson must navigate a host of thorny issues about race and class, which he took in stride. He believes in slavery, believes in the hierarchy of things, hes the freest slave on that plantation, he said. (In character, he added, I have the same moral compass as Clarence Thomas does.)

Pretty sure Loving v Virginia is based off of the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment, not the due process clause, so its not related to the other cases Thomas brought up in his opinion

I always thought this character looked like Clarence Thomas. Seems like the resemblance was intentional.

Yeah this.

I mean, I think most supreme court is jurisprudence mostly bullshit and can be phrased to be for or against anything, but Thomas line from the opinion was specific

The sodomy thing is literally irrelevant. That's something that can't be enforced, so just do what you want and fuck them. Pun not intended. ;)

What's up with accounts named Link?

Anyway, sodomy laws effectively put gay people into hiding. They can make it illegal to be alive and be gay. Police have used unconstitutional sodomy laws to create stings for gay people: https://tinyurl.com/yukj4rdk And have largely used them since the 70's to throw trumped up charges at gay people: https://journalofethics.ama-assn.org/article/decriminalization-sodomy-united-states/2014-11

"It's okay if they ban being gay. It's not like they can enforce it." is certainly a take.

I don't think he was. He was arrested for protesting for civil rights though.

ahh here we go

In 1969, actor Samuel L Jackson was expelled from historically black Morehouse College for locking board members in a building for two days in protest of the school's curriculum and governance. Included in this group of people who were held hostage was Martin Luther King Jr.'s very own father, Martin Luther King Sr
