I, for one, never believed Al Franken should resign ... though I predicted he would under exactly these circumstances -- with Democrats pushing him out of office.
Anita Hill’s story was a total fabrication... so says an “inside connection” who had first hand knowledge of all the players from the SBA days back when the confirmation hearings were going on. Considering this person was a die-hard democrat and still held fast to the assertion that Hill’s tale never happened and the whole thing was a set-up, said a lot to me at the time.
I love Justice Thomas, but I think he should consider resigning while Trump is POTUS AND the Republicans hold the Senate. He’s 70 and can’t last forever.
I’m going to say the exact same thing I said about Franken:
>>We have to get past this political correctness crap.
>>Leftists do it because they are atheists with no other means of escaping (temporarily) their own misery than to project their sins/guilt on someone else.
>>WE MUST NOT PLAY ALONG WITH THIS SLIMY GAME.
You’ve lost your mind.
Is my mind failing me? The dirty joke about the can was all it was right?
Hardly like having a rape button on your desk.
The thing that pissed me off as much as the “high tech lynching” was old man Bush saying he nominated Thomas because he was the most qualified. He was nominated because he was black and replacing the first black justice. Personally, I don’t think Bush thought he would be confirmed.
Anita Hills claims have been repeatedly and thoroughly debunked.
She had to be lead by the nose to understand she was being instructed to make false charges against Thomas.
The “porn” he was accused of having “all over the house”, was a single Playboy pin-up on the fridge. (He was 27 and single at the time)
I’ve got the book “The Real Anita Hill” for reference.
I remember reading at the time Thomas changed jobs a few times and Hill followed him. Sexually abused women always volunteer to go through it over and over! We are idiots for not understanding it./s
This whole show began to make me realize DC is a swamp
“Progressives are racists, and they view blacks as property — THEIR property’
Dang, you nailed it!
Justice Breyer grabbed my crotch. He should step down.
It wasn’t in the Exorcist, it was in some porn movie called Long Dong Silver or something like that, and it had been involved in a court decision somewhere.
Quoth the Turtle, “Never Moore”.
Be careful what you wish for.

The problem then - when Thomas was confirmed - has not changed but only gotten worse.
That problem is that what ought to be only legal claims that could possibly be settled in a court of law, are not the only kind of allegations being made, and whether they are that level of accusations or not they are given standing as “guilty” on mere allegations proven in no court of law.
Frankly, if I were some of those for whom allegations are being made, I’d say: “Fine, sue me, and we’ll see how it comes out in court; otherwise don’t expect me to act on mere allegations that I believe are false.” I said “some”.
If I knew the allegations to be true - which I never believed in the case of Thomas - it would be a matter of whether or not a legal line was crossed.
If a legal line was not crossed, I’d do no more than apologize for the “misunderstanding”.
If I had crossed a legal line, even if a statute of limitations had run out, then and only then MIGHT I consider resigning from some position. It would depend a lot on the whole context.
I think all those who have already resigned some position due only to publicly aired allegations, if I were them I’d be considering the options I outline above.
If Clarence Thomas should resign, then Congress should seek to annul the entire Clinton era of laws and policies.
