Hillary Clinton personally disparages Clarence Thomas after Roe overturned: "A person of grievance"

Hillary Clinton disparaged Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas on Tuesday, 
calling him a "person of grievance."

What did Clinton say?
Speaking with Gayle King on "CBS Mornings," Clinton personally attacked 
Thomas and claimed that he is essentially using his position on the highest 
court in the land to enact his personal agenda.

"He's signaling, as people often did -- I went to law school with him. He's 
been a person of grievance for as long as I've known him. Resentment, 
grievance, anger," Clinton claimed.

"And he has signaled in the past to lower courts, to state legislatures, 
'Find cases, pass laws, get them up [to the Supreme Court]. I may not win the 
first, the second, or the third time, but we're going to keep at it,'" she 
added.


Elevating her rhetoric even further, Clinton claimed that "women are going to 
die" because of Thomas' rulings.

What was the response?
In response, Clinton was accused of "playing the angry black man card."


"If this were the other way around, we'd hear endless lectures about the 
perils of 'tone policing a black man who grew up under segregation,'" 
conservative writer Charles C.W. Cooke also noted.

Meanwhile, National Review editor Philip Klein observed several problems with 
Clinton's statements. First, Clinton and Thomas were not in the same class at 
Yale Law School; Clinton graduated in 1973, while Thomas graduated in 1974. 
Second, Klein noted that Thomas' conservative views were not fully formed 
when he attended Yale.

"Among other things, the law school reference isn't plausible. Not only was 
she in a different graduating class from Thomas, but to the extent they 
overlapped, he wasn't even a conservative in law school -- that was just the 
beginning of his ideological transition," Klein explained.

Even Justice Sonia Sotomayor's recent comments about Thomas refute Clinton's 
claims.

While speaking to progressive lawyers earlier this month, Sotomayor described 
Thomas as "a man who cares deeply about the court as an institution" and 
"about the people who work there."

"Justice Thomas is the one justice in the building that literally knows every 
employee's name, every one of them. And not only does he know their names, he 
remembers their families' names and histories," Sotomayor said of her 
colleague.

"He's the first one who will go up to someone when you're walking with him 
and say, 'Is your son OK? How's your daughter doing in college?'" she 
explained. "He's the first one that, when my stepfather died, sent me flowers 
in Florida."

Sotomayor later said that she and Thomas "share a common understanding about 
people and kindness toward them," which is "why I can be friends with him and 
still continue our daily battle over our difference of opinions in cases."
