Exactly. I watched every minute of the Thomas hearings and remember them well.
When Thomas threw away the script and told them that he would not address the allegations and that the hearing was just a “high tech lynching for uppity blacks” the camera turned on ole Committee chair Howell Heflin, a Dem good-ole-boy from Alabama.
He stammered - and looked like a deer caught in the headlights. Terrified.
Game. Set. Match. 11 Dems crossed over to vote for Thomas.
That can’t happen this time because the “Boll Weevil” Dems are long extinct. And have been replaced by Republicans.
