The Troll comment aside, thank you for enlightening me. That was (almost) the first civil response I had since coming here tonight.

So how come if you read all these people and supposedly are such an authority on Thomas that you had to be enlightened. I would have thought you would have known all about the facts of Thomas's decisions and written opinions.

Never said I was "an authority on Thomas." I look at Thomas and Hill the same way as I'd break up a fight between my kids and I had to figure out who and what started it. It stunk, and I believe the smell comes from Thomas. Yes, there is no hard evidence, but sometimes there's no hard evidence when I sort out my kids' disagreements either. As for enlightenment, you'd have to agree that no one could expect to know everything, no matter how much they read. After tonight, I'll change my position about Thomas now from "completely ineffectual" to "largely ineffectual".

Sorry if I offended anyone here who may have particularly delicate sensibilities regarding Justice Thomas. I'm not looking for a fight, but if somebody insults me, I'm not going to walk away either.
