Reply #13: Jane and Jill need to reissue their book

[fairfaxvadem]

Jane Mayer and Jill Abramson, think they were with the NY Times back in the day, wrote Strange Justice, about that whole mess. He's an ass. They need to come back out swinging against this. It's really quite simple: was Clarence Thomas qualified to be on the Supreme Court? No. He was purely a political appointee. Nothing more, nothing less. We know damn well there were any number of minorities, both men and women, who were eminently qualified (if appointing a non-white male was the main goal, which is fine with me), that were overlooked simply because they were, in all probability, considered "liberal." Instead, we get a man who suffers/suffered from a form of Stockholm syndrome; identifying with THE MAN who kept anyone who was not a white, ivy-league educated male, out in the cold.

Sorry if I sound harsh.
