I'm not necessarily calling upon you to justify yourself.
But I call upon you to justify yourself, oh good Christian Dwight.
But it is interesting to me that I have found more than a few Clinton supporters (and Pro-choicers, by some odd coincidence) who disclaim any prior support of Anita Hill and her case against Thomas.
Anita Hill was a somewhat reluctant witness, as you probably choose not to recall. And she was hounded out of her tenured faculty position by good right-wing Christians like yourself. As was the law school dean who, with delusions of protecting academic freedom, backed her up. And, of course, there were collaborating witnesses that weren't heard on the harassment matter.
But regardless, the Thomas nomination should have been fought on his own manifest lack of qualification. Then there's the little matter of perjury there, and not on the Anita Hill matter. Thomas never, ever gave a thought to Roe v. Wade. Never! He said that under oath! A good conservative, well qualified candidate like that, and it had never crossed his mind! I wouldn't actually blame him for that one personally, his testimony was so heavily managed by the honorable Bush team. But, it was under oath. Perhaps that's the kind of lying under oath a good Christian like yourself approves of, eh Dwight? All in a good cause, now Thomas, "the best man for the job", gets to give Scalia a second vote for the next 40 years. |
