The Georgia state Senate voted yesterday to create a monument to honor Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, who is a native of the state.
The measure to honor Thomas now heads to the state House after it passed 32 to 21 in the state Senate. If approved, the monument, which will be paid for via private donations, will be on display in the state Capitol.
Some lawmakers said the statute should wait until Justice Thomas retires or has passed away. But said State Sen. Ben Watson, a Republican from Savannah who co-sponsored the bill for Thomas, said a statue already exists for former President Jimmy Carter, who is still alive.
“I didn’t agree with everything that President Carter did. He is a great Georgian and a president we should be proud of,” Watson said. “I would hope that you would feel the same way about Justice Thomas. He is a wonderful person.”
Thomas was born in Pin Point, Georgia and grew up in Savannah and he became the second black Supreme Court justice when resident George H.W. Bush nominated him in 1991.

Justice Thomas has repeatedly ruled in favor of pro-life laws to protect babies from abortion and he has once again gone on record multiple times stating that the Roe v. Wade ruling from 1973 that allowed virtually unlimited abortions should be overturned.
Previously, Justice Thomas listed three “incorrect decisions” he said used a faulty interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment. Those included Obergefell v. Hodges, Roe v. Wade, and Dred Scott v. Sandford.This wassn’t the first time Justice Thomas has indicated Roe needs to go. Thomas hinted at his willingness to overturn the infamous abortion ruling Roe v.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
