and I thought at the time (and have not reconsidered) that the Democrats should have gone after him on his credentials and radical views instead of his abuse of women he worked with. GOPs don't give a shit about women and neither did many of their Dem. brethren when Thomas was confirmed.

That he is as horrendous a person as is coming out surprises me not, nor do his execrable rulings.

Don't tell me anybody on DU is surprised that he's living large on bribery. We paid attention. We knew what he was.
