Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas: "We Are Destroying Our Institutions"

Aimee Herd : Oct 27, 2016  McClatchyDC.com

"I think that we have decided that rather than confront the disagreements and the differences of opinion, we'll just simply annihilate the person who disagrees with you..."

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas recently spoke at the Heritage Foundation in celebration of his 25 years on the High Court. (Screengrab via C-SPAN)

In a video interview, Thomas shared some strong words about the "broken" way things seem to be handled in Washington, DC.

Below are some excerpts from the interview, watch the video by clicking here.
 
"I think we have become very comfortable with not thinking things through, and debating things. That's one of the things I love about the Court, you can actually talk to people about things.

"I think that we have decided that rather than confront the disagreements and the differences of opinion, we'll just simply annihilate the person who disagrees with you. I don't think that's gonna work in a republic or in a civil society.

"At some point we have got to recognize that we're destroying our institutions and undermining our institutions. ...The day's going to come—if it's not already here—when we need the integrity of the institution...

"I don't think that's going to change in this city until we get back to the notion that we argue, that we debate, that we decide things based on logic and facts and reason, as opposed to who yells the loudest or who has the best narrative or the best meme, or some other nonsense."
