AFFIRMATIVELY AND ACTIVELY UNGRATEFUL

USSCOTUS Associate Justice Clarence Thomas is bitter and resentful. He claims that his Yale law degree was tainted because of Affirmative Action policies which made it difficult for him to get a job after he graduated.

The egotistically driven logic is stunning: Thomas is actually saying that the fact that Yale extended a helping hand to minorities who previously hadn't had the same opportunities as whites -and which allowed him to attend Yale Law School- meant that the prestige his law degree had was somehow diluted because while those policies allowed him to attend, they also let other minorities... uh...attend. Make sense? No, not to me either.

This is one of the nine most brilliant legal minds in the nation?
