Samuel Jackson Rips ‘Uncle Clarence’ Thomas For Risking Interracial Marriage In Roe Reversal…

Actor Samuel Jackson slammed Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas as “Uncle Clarence” for jeop­ar­diz­ing the legal right to inter­ra­cial mar­riage with the court’s deci­sion Friday to over­turn of Roe v. Wade.

The same ratio­nale the con­ser­v­a­tive court employed to reverse the 1973 deci­sion on abor­tion rights could now be used to elim­i­nate the right to same-sex mar­riage, con­tra­cep­tion and inter­ra­cial mar­riage, which was pro­tect­ed in the 1967 Loving v. Virginia rul­ing, law­mak­ers and schol­ars fear.

Jackson bashed Thomas as “Uncle Clarence” in a Friday night tweet, refer­ring to the exces­sive­ly servile Black char­ac­ter in Harriet Beecher Stowe’s pre-Civil War nov­el “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.”

The Roe deci­sion sug­gest­ed that the legal under­pin­nings of the con­sti­tu­tion­al pro­tec­tion for abor­tion were weak­ly based on argu­ments that have sup­port­ed oth­er Supreme Court cas­es guar­an­tee­ing var­i­ous rights, includ­ing the right to con­tra­cep­tion and same-sex and inter­ra­cial marriage.

In a solo con­cur­ring opin­ion Friday, Thomas sug­gest­ed that the court should “cor­rect the error” by with­draw­ing grant­ed rights now pro­tect­ed under the “sub­stan­tive due process clause” of the 14th Amendment

Justice Thomas con­curs, say­ing over­rul­ing Roe isn’t enough. “For that rea­son, in future cas­es, we should recon­sid­er all of this Court’s sub­stan­tive due process prece­dents, includ­ing Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell.” That’s right to pri­va­cy, con­tra­cep­tion, mar­riage equal­i­ty, etc

Wonder if Loving v Virginia is next on the list of cas­es for Justice Thomas to overrule?

But Thomas specif­i­cal­ly named only the rights to same-sex mar­riage and con­tra­cep­tion. He side-stepped the Loving case, which, if over­turned as Roe was, could threat­en his own inter­ra­cial mar­riage to Ginni Thomas.

Jim Obergefell, the plain­tiff behind the Supreme Court’s land­mark rul­ing on same-sex mar­riage, said Friday that Thomas omit­ted Loving v. Virginia on his list of top court deci­sions to “recon­sid­er” because it “affects him per­son­al­ly.”

That “affects him per­son­al­ly, but he doesn’t care about the LGBTQ+ com­mu­ni­ty,” Obergefell said on MSNBC’s “The Reid Out.”

Though some Thomas sup­port­ers crit­i­cized Jackson for what they called a “racist” attack on the jus­tice, the actor’s Twitter fol­low­ers most­ly applaud­ed the dig — and the issue: Read more here:https://​news​.yahoo​.com/​s​a​m​u​e​l​-​j​a​c​k​s​o​n​-​r​i​p​s​-​u​n​c​l​e​-​c​l​a​r​e​n​c​e​-​2​2​4​0​5​1​3​9​8​.​h​tml
