18. A friend of Ginsburg....wtf?
Thomas's confirmation hearing was uneventful.<42> He was confirmed by the United States Senate on March 6, 1990, and received his commission the same day. He developed warm relationships during his 19 months on the federal court, including with fellow federal judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg.<41><43>

5. I never doubted Anita Hill. I don't know how anyone could. She went through
hell to tell the country what kind of person Thomas is, and yet there he sits on the SC. Disgusting. It doesn't suprise me in the least that there are many other victims of his harrassment. After the way Anita Hill was treated, it's no surprise they didn't come forward.

6. Can you share more?
Edited on Wed Oct-20-10 08:42 PM by pacalo


I never doubted Anita Hill for a moment. Aside from coming across as sincere, the details were too horrendous for any woman to dream up & to openly discuss in front of congress with the whole world watching on tv.

10. she was a special-ed coordinator
and was often at different functions!
once she came home upset and let the family know that thomas was in attendance and harrassed her
(and at least 1 of her friends) both physically and verbally although i dont exactly remember how much detail i ever recieved being somewhat young.

i somewhat remember them pursuing complaints and being frustrated and ignored.

7. These guys always seem to think no one will ever catch them
or something, like they have some kind of entitlement shield of invisibility. An astronaut gave a speech at my graduation and he was all over the women graduating. More than one of us has a photo of getting our diploma with this lech drooling next to the podium. Maybe he thought he couldn't be caught on film, like a vampire. lol

8. I don't doubt it, and I don't doubt Anita Hill
I'm kind of doubting Ginni Thomas's sanity these days, though. WTF was she thinking?

9. Ginni Thomas should have left this issue alone
If Clarence Thomas has continued with this behavior, it will come back and bite him even harder than it did the first time the accusations surfaced.

17. When he played the race card--I'm a "victimized black man"-- you knew he was lying.
What he ridicules others for doing, he does.

Hypocritical lying sack of shit.
