The case spurred renewed vitriol against Justice Thomas, after he sided with the majority in the Supreme Court opinion.

As his audience booed, Colbert mocked, “어느, 다른 것들 사이, would ban oral sex. And in response, I just want to say, Clarence Thomas can suck it.”
Conservatives called out some on the left for using racial slurs against the previously sole Black justice on the bench. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was sworn in on Thursday, making her the first Black female justice on the high court, although ABC News earned mockery for tweeting she was the first Black justice ever on the U.S. 대법원.
