Barack Obama never ceases his deliverance of completely inane statements. At Saddleback Obama was asked which Supreme Court Justice he would not have nominated. His answer was Clarence Thomas, which would be fine if he said he disagrees with him and left it at that.
But the oh-so superior Obama didn’t stop there. He called into question Justice Thomas’ qualifications.
Obama said: “I would not have nominated Clarence Thomas. I don’t think that he … was a strong enough jurist or legal thinker at the time for that elevation. Setting aside the fact that I profoundly disagree with his interpretation of a lot of the Constitution.”
He added that he also wouldn’t have nominated Antonin Scalia, and perhaps not John Roberts, “though he assured the audience that at least they were smart enough for the job,” The Wall Street Journal noted in an editorial on Monday.
The editorial continued: “So let’s see. By the time he was nominated, Clarence Thomas had worked in the Missouri Attorney General’s office, served as an Assistant Secretary of Education, run the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and sat for a year on the D.C.

And the beat goes on!
