Reid to Justice Thomas: Try to Write Better

From CNN via Drudge:

Incoming Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid on Sunday had harsh words for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.

When asked to comment on Thomas as a possible replacement for Chief Justice William Rehnquist, Reid told NBC's "Meet the Press": "I think that he has been an embarrassment to the Supreme Court.

"I think that his opinions are poorly written. I just don't think that he's done a good job as a Supreme Court justice."

I wonder if Senator Reid has even read any of Justice Thomas's opinions. I doubt it. Among the criticisms of Justice Thomas, that his opinions are "poorly written" is the lamest one I've heard yet.
