Reply #308: I think the public would find them highly shocking today if the hearings were

[defendandprotect]

replayed in FULL --

expecially Hatch, Simpson and other right-wing Senators reading quotes from . . . what was
the book? The Exorcist?

Simpson suggesting rumors about Hill -- "info about her being thrown over the transom of his
office" --!!! Really disgusting stuff by the GOP gang of them.

No . . . Biden did not protect Hill from this GOP insanity which went on and on ---
just shocking!!!

There were many people involved with supporting Prof. Anita Hill -- her own lawyers and
a number of interested groups. THAT is aside from the dozen or so witnesses who would
have testified that what she was saying about Thomas was true . . . according to THEIR
own experiences. At least one of them was an EEOC speech writer.

Their story is told in the book "Strange Justice" and I'm quite sure you would find it in
your library or the reference dept would quickly get it for you.


No -- I wasn't involved in any way in the hearings --- but I did watch the hearings and it
was quite clear that Thomas was a PERVERT based on the testimony OF HIS OWN FRIENDS!!!

"Eat shit with a spoon from my ass" was one of his favorite expressions according to one
of his friends. Thomas was also a "lover of hard core pornography" according to his Yale
classmates --- that's the kind of porn where you go into a booth alone, masturbate standing
in someone else's semen and then move on. And much more. That is the man we have on the
Supreme Court today!

Again, obviously this man should NEVER have made it to even a hearing.
But the GOP wanted someone like him on the court --- probably someone blackmailable --
and someone they could count on for something like the 2000 decision.

Besides the book, there was a lot of info circulating in magazines and in interviews --
I have a lot of info on it but in journals and that's not immediately accessible ---
but I'm working on one day getting thru them --- lots of interesting stuff in them!

Sen. Paul Simon said --- "If they had known at the time what they learned later about Thomas
he would not have been considered at all."
