The left is clearly afflicted now with a full-blown case of Thomas Derangement Syndrome—after Justice Clarence Thomas's speech last week about the Declaration of Independence, which, let's face it, gives leftists the heebie-jeevies with all that talk about how we are \"endowed by our Creator\" with certain inalienable rights. With the band back together again this week, we dissect the left's hysterical reaction which indicate to us that Thomas hit a raw nerve with \"Progressives,\" who are actually quite regressive. We also divert briefly to John Yoo's typically idiosyncratic observations on executive power in the Declaration, and then conclude this segment with each offering our favorite quotes from Justice Thomas's speech. From there we turn to the big news of the indictment of the Southern Poverty Law Center (which Steve suggests should be known more accurately as the Southern Poverty Libel Center, but also wondering why there is no Northern Poverty Law Center, or Midwestern Poverty Law Center. Is there no poverty or racism in those regions?).","meta_description":"Move over Trump Derangement Syndrome!
