The 1991 Supreme Court Nomination hearing for Clarence Thomas was controversialized by the accusations of sexual harassment by a law professor, Anita Hill. She testified before the Senate committee that the appointee had repeatedly asked her out of a date, spoken about porno films in graphic detail, and declared his penis was the same length and girth of the infamous porn actor, Long John Silver.

“He spoke about acts that he had seen in pornographic films involving such matters as women having sex with animals and films showing group sex or rape scenes….On several occasions, Thomas told me graphically of his own sexual prowess.”

Clarence Thomas denied the allegations and the Senate confirmed his seat to the court of last appeal 52-48. The smallest margin ever, however 19 years later Clarence Thomas’ activist wife has phoned Anita Hill to demanded a belated apology for conducting a ‘high-tech lynching’.

7:30 am.

“Good morning Anita Hill, it’s Ginni Thomas. I just wanted to reach across the airwaves and the years and ask you to consider something. I would love you to consider an apology sometime and some full explanation of why you did what you did with my husband. So give it some thought. And certainly pray about this and hope that one day you will help us understand why you did what you did. O.K., have a good day.”

Anita Hill was flabbergasted by the call after realizing it wasn’t a prank.

Just a call from a cranky white lady with nothing to do in the morning while her husband mentally prepared himself for the court by fast-forwarding through his extensive porno collection. Clarence Thomas has proven himself a friend to pornography time and time again while on the court.

In 1959 Justice Potter Stewart said about obscenity, “”I can’t define it, but I know it when I see it.”

Anita knew sexual harassment when she experienced it too and rightfully refused to offer an apology to the nominee.

The Congress confirmed Clarence Thomas with a vote of 52 to 48 the eight Democrats from Dixie and the Bible Belt broke from the party line.

They were all men.
