Virginia Thomas, Justice Thomas' Wife, Has Tea Party Ties

WASHINGTON — Virginia Thomas is an experienced political activist with ties to the tea party movement. She's an outspoken opponent of the Obama administration. She's also the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.

She's now in the spotlight for her out-of-the-blue phone call asking Anita Hill to apologize for a 19-year-old sexual harassment accusation that nearly kept him off the court.

Neither she nor Hill was commenting on the phone call Wednesday. A day earlier, Hill said she stood by what she said in 1991 at Thomas' confirmation hearings. The justice's wife described her call to Hill as "extending an olive branch."

At Brandeis University, where Hill now teaches, some students wondered what all the fuss was about. They said they hadn't heard of Hill or the justice.

Though Virginia Thomas offered no explanation about the timing of her phone call, The New York Times had published a front-page story on her political activism on Oct. 9, the day she placed the call. Almost exactly 19 years earlier, Clarence Thomas was in an unanticipated fight to be confirmed because of Hill's explosive allegations that he sexually harassed her at the two federal agencies where Thomas was her boss.

2. Well no wonder Virginia isn't commenting - she's still too hung over to deal with it.

3. This is News?

What's the big surprise? Chances are her husband's a tea-bagger, also (and Scalia, and Alito, and possibly Roberts).
