Supreme Court Justice, Clarence Thomas

Guilty of sexually harassing Anita Hill?

I say no.

What say you?

This came up on the Arlen Specter thread, but I feel it needs a thread of its own.

Thanks.

I think Justice Thomas treated her better than Ted Kennedy treated Mary Jo Kopechne.

She also got a better follow-on job than Monica Lewinski...

Yes the treasonous Clarence Thomas was guilty of what he was accused of. Though what he was accused of seems rather minor, and if Hill felt that uncomfortable with it, she should have addressed it at the time.

Woods and LWT, haven't you accused others of bringing in pointless comparison???

If you mean that Ted's bad behavior is no justification for Clarence's bad behavior, then I agree. Nobody is above the law. If Clarence is guilty of a crime, he should do the time.

The real question is ... who put pubic hair on his Coke?

I am not sure that I have, but anyway these comparisons are not exactly pointless. You seem to be saying that Clarence Thomas should have been rejected as a Supreme Court Justice, based only on an unsubstantiated personal accusation by a political opponent. Ted Kennedy was a senior U.S. senator for most of his adult life, in spite of the fact that he killed a girl in very questionable circumstances and then lied about it. Bill Clinton was the president of the United States, and continued on as president after he first lied about an affair with a young staff member (this is technically sexual harrassment), and then admitted it when it was proven by physical evidence. The comparison is that liberals wanted Kennedy and Clinton to face no harm over much more serious transgressions, but would have disqualified Clarence Thomas over hearsay of nothing more than some distasteful remarks which may or may not have been true.
