A gay Connecticut Supreme Court Justice has called Clarence Thomas’ recent statements advocating for the reversal of federally-recognized same-sex marriage rights “hypocritical” due to the justice’s failure to not call for the repeal of a similar ruling allowing interracial marriage.Andrew McDonald, a senior associate justice for Connecticut’s high court, blasted Thomas for suggesting — in a concurring opinion as part of a recent abortion-rights case — that the nation’s highest court should re-examine all cases dealing with “substantive due process” rights, referring to rights that have been conferred or recognized by courts, but are not specifically mentioned in the Constitution.Among the “substantive due process” cases that Thomas said should be reconsidered by the court include the court’s 1965 Griswold v.

Texas ruling overturning state laws criminalizing homosexuality and same-sex relations, and the 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling, which overturned state bans on same-sex marriage.“Mr.
Justice Thomas had much to say today about my loving marriage. Oddly he didn’t have much to say about his ‘Loving‘ marriage,” McDonald wrote on his Facebook page, according to CNBC.

Thomas is part of an interracial marriage with his wife, Ginni, who is white.In the Loving case, Mildred and Richard Loving, had been arrested and sentenced to one year in prison for marrying one another in 1958.

Hillary Clinton said she is not surprised by the Supreme Court’s recent decision that overturned Roe v. Wade and removed federal protections for abortion, and she warned there is likely even more fallout to come.“I was not surprised, because I think that was the goal of packing the Court with justices who were on the record for many years of being against women’s Constitutional rights to make decisions about our own bodies,” Clinton said on “CBS Mornings” on Tuesday, speaking with Gayle King. “I was deeply sorry that it actually happened.

"The Supreme Court decided to overturn Roe v Wade which is a law that ensures a woman's right to a safe abortion, another basic human right," Rodrigo said to the thousands of fans watching her first performance at the massive outdoor show.
