I don't know why it would come up in HN (though apparently it did though this discussion). But he has lots of supporters, your comment represents exactly the kind of narrow view people are talking about. It's not a given that everyone would hate a sitting supreme court judge, an elected politician, etc.

my comment expresses no view - I’m asking why Thomas would be topical on HN

Q.E.D., for a look at my OP.
