Samuel L. Jackson Criticizes Clarence Thomas for Proposing to Overturn Significant Rulings: “How’s Uncle Clarence Feeling About Loving v. Virginia?!”

Following the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade and the constitutional right to abortion, Samuel L. Jackson is putting Justice Clarence Thomas on blast for proposing that the Court re-evaluate other significant rulings.

On Friday, Jackson tweeted, “How’s Uncle Clarence feeling about Loving v. Virginia?!” referring to the landmark 1967 ruling that declared interracial marriage unconstitutional.

In 1987, Justice Thomas, 74, married Virginia Thomas, a white woman.
In a concurring opinion, Thomas argued that the Court should “reconsider” its decisions legalizing birth control, sodomy, and same-sex marriages.

“In future cases, we should reconsider all of this Court’s substantive due process precedents, including Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell. Because any substantive due process decision is ‘demonstrably erroneous,’ … we have a duty to ‘correct the error’ established in those precedents,” he said.

In a statement to PEOPLE, Jim Obergefell, one of the plaintiffs in the famous Obergefell v. Hodge case that established the freedom of same-sex couples to marry, claimed that Thomas is “not the Supreme Deity.”

“Clarence Thomas is a Supreme Court justice appointed by humans; he is not the Supreme Deity. The millions of loving couples who have the right to marriage equality to form their own families do not need Clarence Thomas imposing his individual twisted morality upon them. If you want to see an error in judgment, Clarence Thomas, look in the mirror,” he said.

On Sunday, US Senator Elizabeth Warren also blasted Thomas on Twitter, “Clarence Thomas made it clear: right-wing extremists aren’t stopping at abortion. They’re coming after marriage equality, contraception, & anyone who doesn’t live & look like their idea of the ideal American. But the Supreme Court won’t get the last word—the American people will.”

The 6-to-3 ruling overturned nearly 50 years of precedent and granted states the authority to enact abortion-related laws. Following the SCOTUS verdict, the governors of Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, and South Dakota implemented “trigger bans,” effectively outlawed abortion in those states.
