Clarence Thomas will welcome him with open arms.

Well that's one out of eight you wouldn't have to worry about.

will welcome him with candy.

I think the entire Court will suffer a credibility crisis. And I can't believe that the republicans don't see that. I know they don't care, but this will taint every decision the Court makes. It's not just the message this send to Americans, but the bigger perspective this will have on our global relationships. That our government has no problem putting a man on the Supreme Court who is as unfit in that role as trmp is in his. Our reputation is already in tatters, this will only make us look as corrupt as any back-water, third-world dictatorship.

after Clarence Thomas? If so, I don't remember it.

And tainted decisions are still binding, until overruled.
