Uncle Clarence has shown he lied at his own confirmation hearing about just about everything he was asked besides his lies about the Hill (and others) workplace allegations. Anita speaks for herself in the article above.

Here are some quotes from those involved. Joe Biden does not come out well in these quotes. Hill was a christian conservative herself. Biden seems to have been eager to put the matter behind him and not be seen as too harsh on a black scotus nominee.

No, Biden does not come out well on this…

because he didn’t do well on this.

WSRats- based on the people I know who were involved at the time – it was both a democratic smear campaign and lying on Thomas’ part. They had an affair, she wanted more and was spurned, and then she told someone about it who passed on the info to democrats who recruited her testimony for the confirmation hearings. As with all the other “political” affairs we’ve seen, there’s a kernel of truth and lots of mistruths on all sides.

I, for one, didn’t care about his personal affairs but judged him on his legal scholarship and constitutional prowess – I just didn’t see it and never wanted to see him confirmed. IMO, he won’t be remembered for any lasting legal theories or decisions.

Ken – while I’m not a Thomas supporter, I’m offended by your “Uncle Clarence” remark – which I believe is racist as it refers to “Uncle Tom”. I would appreciate it if you would refrain from those types of remarks or characterizations.

mellaw6565…

any time an authority figure uses his/her power to seduce… it’s a breach of trust.

Once seduced, it’s unkind to blame the victim for buying the seduction and wanting more…

I agree that the real issue with Thomas was his lack of judicial integrity… but his lack of moral integrity was also obvious… and far more of a political liability.

It’s too bad that so many had so much reason to keep that kind of moral ineptitude quiet.

it was a real disservice to women…

and to the men who now face the same kind of harassment from some female bosses :)
