For months, Democrats have been engaged in an effort to delegitimize the U.S. Supreme Court.

They have taken special aim at conservative Justice Clarence Thomas, using a smear campaign intended to attack his integrity.

Now over 100 former clerks have come to Thomas’ defense, co-signing a letter in response to the claims.

FOX News reports:

Over 100 former clerks of Justice Thomas sign open letter defending his integrity, independence

Over 100 former clerks of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas wrote an open letter defending him after recent news articles accused him of bending court ethics, saying that his “integrity is unimpeachable” and “his independence is unshakable.”

“As his law clerks, we offer this response. Different paths led us to our year with Justice Thomas, and we have followed different paths since. But along the way, we all saw with our own eyes the same thing: His integrity is unimpeachable,” the letter reads.

“And his independence is unshakable, deeply rooted seven decades ago as that young child who walked through the door of his grandparents’ house for a life forever changed,” they wrote.

The 112 signatories on the letter include current solicitors general, general counsels, partners at litigation firms and law professors. Three circuit court judges also signed the letter: David Stras on the 8th Circuit, Jim Ho of the 5th Circuit, and Allison Rushing, 4th Circuit.

The lawyers described Justice Thomas’ upbringing, having “descended from West African slaves and born to a young mother, not more than 20, in segregated Georgia.”

The left’s attacks on Thomas are shameful, and everyone knows why they’re doing it.

This man has not violated any ethics. Democrats are trying to destroy him so they can replace him with one of their own. It’s as simple as that.

“The picture they paint of the Court and the man for whom we worked bears no resemblance to reality.”https://t.co/1BOpQl4xrz

The fact that there is now a conservative majority on the Supreme Court is driving Democrats absolutely bonkers.

Expect their ridiculous attacks to continue.

One resident of Maui recently spoke out about Joe Biden’s late visit to the fire ravafed island, calling it “a waste of time.”

This person was merely saying what many other people on Maui are probably thinking.

Biden’s response to this situation was disgraceful.

Breitbart News reports:

Exclusive: Maui Resident Says Joe Biden’s Visit ‘Was a Waste of Time’

A Maui resident who led grassroots relief efforts after the devastating Lahaina fire on August 8 told Breitbart News in an exclusive interview that President Joe Biden’s visit to Hawaii made things worse.

“It was a waste of time. That did hinder the efforts because all the fire department and everybody had to back off and make room for him to walk through the area when our first priority is getting the people out of there, dead or alive,” Dale Hermo-Fernandez told Breitbart News in a phone interview on Friday.

Biden visited Maui on August 21, nearly two weeks after a brushfire destroyed the town of Lahaina on August 8 and killed more than a hundred residents, with several hundred still missing.

At that time of Biden’s visit, 15 percent of the disaster area still needed to be searched for unaccounted persons, and recovery efforts were in full swing, with thousands still lacking electricity and access to clean water.

Hermo-Fernandez also blamed Biden for not doing more sooner to help with recovery efforts.

“All the way to the top, the government could have acted better,” he said.

There is a lot of completely justified anger over this.

Biden dropped the ball and the media is covering for him, as ususal.

We all know how the media would have treated this if it happened on Trump’s watch. You’d have people from Maui being interviewed on CNN and MSNBC every single night, slamming the federal response.
