...now the commonalities with #TFG:

Both are power-hungry, addicted to luxury goods and easy money, and vindictive.

Rules for thee but not for me!

Despicable!

Thomas often issues opinions that give up power!

When you consider his actual work on the Court instead of all of this sensationalized drama, it paints a much different picture.
