In a 2009 letter obtained by National Review, Harvard Law professor Laurence Tribe told Obama that Sonia Sotomayor is, “not nearly as smart as she seems to think she is.” Tribe also felt that Sotomayor was a bully whose behavior would embolden the right-wing members of the court. Tribe, who now also serves in the Justice Department doing outreach to the poor, has changed his mind about Sotomayor after better examining her record (he also says he holds justices Breyer and Kennedy, whom he …
I find it hilarious that in an effort to shame Anita Hill, Virginia Thomas has managed to single-handedly shine a glaring light right back onto her Supreme Court justice husband Clarence Thomas. Lillian McEwan, an ex-lover and colleague of Clarence, has come out of the wood work to peg him as a porn enthusiast and a fan of big ol’ boobs. Also, thanks to Clarence’s name being out there once again, McEwan is writing a book all about him. Well done, Virginia Thomas!
It was nearly 20 years ago when Clarence Thomas’ face was plastered on every newspaper, thanks to the allegations that he had sexually harassed Anita Hill. I was …
Anita Hill, the lawyer who testified about being sexually harassed by Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas while she worked in his office, nearly derailing his confirmation, received a nasty surprise on her answering machine from Mrs. Thomas:
“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 some time 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 come to understand why you did what you did. OK, have a good day.”
Besides being creepy, this is disrespectful …

What did the 100lb spitfire have to say? Apparently quite a bit. She spoke openly about abortion and Roe v. Wade:
On the landmark Roe v. Wade decision, which made a first-trimester abortion a constitutionally protected right, “We will never go back to the way it once was,” Ginsburg declared, to huge applause. “It wasn’t all that controversial. It was a 7 to 2 decision with only two dissenters.” If the court were to change its mind, “there won’t be any real change for anyone in this audience or any daughters of anyone in this audience,” Ginsburg said. “The only women who would be truly affected are poor women. Because even at the time before Roe, women who wanted abortions could have a safe, legal abortion…Women could travel from one state to another and didn’t have to go to Japan or Cuba…Whatever the court may do, it’s only the poor women who will suffer. When people realize that, maybe they will have a different attitude.”
Bold words! I love that she isn’t afraid to discuss the real …
