Qoheleth in today's words of Justices of SCOTUS

 What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun.  Ecclesiastes 1:9 (Qoheleth) Listen up, Democrats.

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has given a stirring speech about the dangers and weaknesses of "progressivism" (aka Marxism) pointing to Woodrow Wilson and speaks directly to the likes and emotional appeals of Justice Ketanji Brown who relies on current cultural trends, and lower courts to draw policy and legal opinions. She and other progressives are opposed to the ideas of the Declaration of Independence. That is not the purpose of SCOTUS. She's an embarrassment. 

"Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas on Wednesday delivered a televised broadside against progressivism, a political philosophy he described as an existential threat to America and the principles that founded it 250 years ago.

“Progressivism seeks to replace the basic premises of the Declaration of Independence and hence our form of government,” Thomas said in a speech at the University of Texas Austin Law School pegged to the nation’s upcoming milestone birthday.

A spirit of “cynicism, rejection, hostility and animus” toward America -- by Americans -- has taken hold, Thomas said in remarks carried live on CSPAN." ABC News



"Qoheleth in the Book of Ecclesiastes emerges as a regal, wise, and deeply reflective figure-almost certainly Solomon, based on the robust internal and historical testimony. This Teacher convenes his audience through the text to examine life’s meaning and embrace the reality that all human pursuits find fulfillment only when rooted in reverence for God.

Ecclesiastes thus stands as a potent portion of biblical Wisdom Literature, shining throughout history and into the present day. The identity of Qoheleth reminds readers that even the greatest king with unmatched riches, fame, and intellect must ultimately conclude that life’s genuine purpose is found in acknowledging and fearing the Lord, who created all things and to whom everyone must give account."

Why is Amazon censoring black opinion, lives, and opinions?

Why did Amazon, owned by the richest man in the world, find this film offensive? Another agency who decides who is black enough or liberal enough to be heard and seen? What are they afraid of?
"Early last month [Black history month, just in case you've forgotten] Amazon deleted a documentary film about Justice Clarence Thomas from its popular streaming service. Titled “Created Equal: Clarence Thomas in His Own Words,” and culled from more than 30 hours of interviews with its subject, the film recounts Justice Thomas’s rise from poverty in segregated Georgia to Yale Law School and, eventually, to the Supreme Court." . . .
 
Last fall, Eli Steele’s “What Killed Michael Brown?”—a critique of liberal social policies that was written and narrated by his father, the race scholar Shelby Steele—was slated to stream on Amazon in October, then held up for reasons the company never fully explained. Amazon eventually relented and made the film available, but only after these pages weighed in and made a fuss." Wall Street Journal, March 2, Jason Riley
