Justice Clarence Thomas argued that OSHA's authority was unconstitutional. He dissented from the court's decision to reject a challenge to the agency.

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has set his sights on eliminating the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday announced which cases it would consider next and which it wouldn’t. Among those the court rejected was a case that challenged the authority of OSHA, which sets and enforces standards for health and safety in the workplace.

And Thomas, widely considered to be the most conservative justice on the already mostly conservative court, wasn’t happy.

In a dissent, he explained why he believed the high court should’ve taken the case: OSHA’s power, he argues, is unconstitutional.

    Just trying to bring it back to the good old days when children yearned for the mines, and men got blended up in industrial machinery.

      Speaking of good old days, I think we should bring slavery back, but only for Clarence.

      I volunteer Thomas to run a lathe and see what happens when safety regulations aren’t enforced.

          But hopefully he’ll be caught dead in one.

            I don’t agree with wishing death on anyone.

            Years of horrible torture is a much worse experience for them.
