TIL Clarence Thomas’s support was ever a measurable distance from zero.

he has support.

I believe they call it "product support" or "customer service" because he's bought and paid for... but he has "support"

Yes, but the clients who actually benefit from his decisions are a negligible fraction of the total population.

I’d love to see the before John Oliver’s resignation/retirement offer and after. A lot of media attention came for his blatant corruption after that ingenious bit.

It's strange to me that there are still 9% of Democrats who have a favorable view of Thomas. He's always been a piece of shit, we just have the receipts now, and if they still think he's OK, it makes me question their grasp on reality.

I doubt that 91% of Democrats even know anything about him. I think there's random guessing involved.

We watched his confirmation hearings live on TV when I was in high school.

It was in my French class, and it was because my teacher was an outspoken feminist, but she was also right to have us watch them.

More know about him than you think. It was huge huge news at the time.

The more interesting part to me is that he's also losing some republican support too

The justice saw a 10-point dip in support from Republicans as well

Even if he's doing their dirty political work, there's at least some nonzero number of Republicans out there who care a little about legitimate out-and-out corruption and bribery.
