Then do us all a favor and step down

Clarence Thomas, the angriest man in America, doesn't much like being a Supreme Court Justice:

Clarence Thomas told an overflow crowd at Chapman University Monday evening that he never wanted to become a Supreme Court justice, or even a judge.

"There's not much that entices about the job," Thomas said, answering questions from the public that provided a rare glimpse of the man behind the office. "There's no money in it, no privacy, no big houses, and from an ego standpoint, it does nothing for me."

Thomas, 59, said the position is satisfying because he feels he's serving the public, and he's honored by it, "but I wouldn't say I like it."

Then maybe it's time to step down and open up a spot for someone who takes the job seriously and doesn't see it as a substitute for the kind of therapy Thomas so desperately needs so he can stop cultivating his Garden of Old Grudges.
