I would love to see President Biden nominate Anita Hill to the Supreme Court, just to see Clarence

[LaMouffette]

Thomas crap his robe.

[DURHAM D]

1. She does not want to be near that stench. nt

[krawhitham]

2. She's 65

[JustAnotherGen]

3. I would just like the name floated

Maybe he'll have a medical incident making him unable to serve if he thinks its a possibility.

[LaMouffette]

8. Yup! That's what I was thinking. I wouldn't want to actually put Ms. Hill anywhere near that creep.

But to have her name floated and to have Clarence (and his vile wife) see the media go nuts and replay the whole Anita Hill testimony news story again . . . ! Might just put him over the edge.

[MichMan]

19. So, the RW media can keep replaying her being questioned by Sen. Biden?

[JustAnotherGen]

4. PS

I think Sotomayor and Kagan should come to work every day with a bottle of coca cola - just to let him know they are onto him.

[dchill]

7. If I'm not mistaken, it was a can.

[JustAnotherGen]

17. Fair point

A can of coke - just to let him know . . .

[Joinfortmill]

5. ROFL

[WhiskeyGrinder]

6. I really hate the way her feelings are nonexistent in this "gotcha" scenario people keep coming up

with. Nominated to the bench by the man who grilled her in a public hearing and then forced to sit next to her harasser? Christ.

[LaMouffette]

11. Sorry! It wasn't a serious suggestion. I should have said that in my original post.

I consider Anita Hill a hero and wouldn't dream of putting her through that.

[lapucelle]

15. I don't remember Joe Biden questioning Anita Hill during the hearings.

I also don't remember her being seated next to Clarence Thomas.

It was long ago, though, so perhaps I've forgotten. Do you have a link?

[WhiskeyGrinder]

22. Oh, since he ran the re-opened hearings, he was one of many committee members who quesitoned

her, famously asking her, among other things, what was the "most embarrassing" thing Thomas ever did to her.

And no, she wasn't seated next to Thomas. My comment was referencing where she might have to sit, were she to be seated on the Supreme Court.

[lapucelle]

23. It was pobably the use of the word "grilled" that threw me off.

I found some footage in a story WaPo ran during the general election 2020.

9. That's a totally ridiculous reason for choosing someone

who is not nearly as qualified as the excellent sitting judges who are said to be on Biden's short list. He will nominate the person who is best able to perform the duties of a Supreme Court justice, not someone selected only for the purpose of pissing off someone else.

What a dumb idea.

[JohnSJ]

10. It would be poetic justice for sure, but it isn't going to happen. It will be someone with judicial

experience

[Srkdqltr]

12. What a nasty thing to say. Just to what? Poke justice Thomas? How nasty. I'm sure she doesn't want

To be involved in.

[msfiddlestix]

13. This 10,000 %

Absolutely.

[Salviati]

14. Please stop

Stop with all these stunt suggestions for the supreme court.

Not just you, but everyone suggesting her, or Merrick Garland, or Barack/Michelle Obama.

Just stop.

[Ocelot II]

18. Thank you. It reminds me of when any major position opens up -

presidential/vice presidential nominees, cabinet positions, whatever - inevitably there are posts suggesting the latest shiny-object liberal celebrity or some famous, well-liked but completely unqualified person, like Oprah or, insanely, recently-disbarred shyster Michael Avenatti (just because he sued TFG and flapped his gums all over MSNBC, which should have known better). While I am nnot privy to such decisions, I can pretty much guarantee that Biden will not nominate Anita Hill, Hillary Clinton, either of the Obamas, Oprah, AOC, Elizabeth Warren, Whoopi Goldberg, or any of the other famous people who are not sitting federal judges. He will especially not nominate someone because it would piss off someone else.

[leftyladyfrommo]

16. It's too bad that old stuff happened because she would

have made a good judge.

[budkin]

20. Too old

But I agree it would be funny.

[PJMcK]

21. That's funny but silly

A Supreme Court seat is too important to fool around with. I certain President Biden will nominate someone of superior ability for Justice Breyer’s seat.

[DemocraticPatriot]

24. Just to see Clarence Thomas drop dead with a heart attack

so that Biden could appoint yet another justice..
