Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said this week that he’s going to do “something” about the Supreme Court’s Hobby Lobby decision. “Stop being crazy” is apparently not among the things Reid plans to do:

Yes, Harry Reid said the SCOTUS majority on the Hobby Lobby decision, which included Justice Clarence Thomas, was comprised of “five white men”:
“The one thing we are going to do during this work period, sooner rather than later, is to ensure that women’s lives are not determine by virtue of five white men,” Reid said.
Of course, Reid’s used to making those kinds of judgments:
Maybe Senator Reid thinks he's "light-skinned" and having "no Negro dialect unless he wanted to have one." @FreeBeacon @uxixu @instapundit

Simply amazing. Or, considering we’re talking about Harry Reid, maybe not.

However, not everybody thought Reid’s comment was out of line:
Harry Reid is right. There are 5 white men on the Supreme Court. Clarence Thomas may have dark skin but he does not think like a black male.
