And we bet that Justice Thomas has a special weakness for streaming video:
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas won’t get upset if you call him a techno-geek. In fact, he loves it and is considered in the court to be a world-class techie who prefers working on his computer at home–or on the road in his RV. And now he’s getting some pats on the back for bringing the court into the 21st century by pushing major advances in computer and high-tech security technology.
“He is really into it,” says Rep. Frank Wolf, a telecommuting proponent who helped Thomas get funding for the court’s IT changes. It’s a job the late Chief Justice William Rehnquist gave Thomas, though he’s shy about taking credit. At a recent budget hearing, as Thomas demurred when asked if he was the force behind the changes, Justice William Kennedy barked, “Yes, yes.”
We don’t mean to be pedantic — we make tons of little mistakes like this each day — but who’s Justice William Kennedy? (Justice Anthony Kennedy, whose sense of self-importance is well-established, would be peeved by this mistake.)
