Clarence Thomas drank heavily, watched porn

[GHook93]

Oh wow - a former lover comes out of the woodwork and makes claims against the other?
Man!!! Has this ever happened before???
I am shocked...shocked I tell you.

I am just pleased.

I ♥ this thread.

You're a Racist!!!

CG, this is bullshit. A severely alcoholic person will drink until they pass out or the booze is all gone. I agree binge drinking does not make anyone an alcoholic (though it could) and that few alcoholics are this bad.

But some are....like the lady I used to work with, who slept under her desk every afternoon. Most times, after throwing up on herself.

That's one example. It is not standard. 'Falling down drunk's are more likely to be binge drinkers. Binge drinkers drink to excess but do not drink every day.

Most severe alcoholics are not binge drinkers. They are addicted to alcohol to the point that they cannot function without it. That doesn't mean they are drunk all the time, it means they drink every day.

High functioning =/= severe.

your ignorance is becoming painful. i can tell you unequivocally that a high functioning alcoholic is no less *severe* than a falling down one.

just stop now

He should be impeached for lying at his confirmation hearing. And so should all others where there is proof they lied during confirmation hearings.

Guess who Thomas reported to at the EEOC during most of the time he harrassed Professor Hill?

Joe Biden.

Joe Biden was never the head of the EEOC. Thomas never harassed Hill. The whole idea of a strong, successful assertive woman like Hill being harassed is absurd.

Don't take this the wrong way, but have you been drinking? Your posts are increasingly removed from reality.

Well, fuck. I could have sworn Biden had been Thomas' supervisor but my Google Fu fails me.

Actually Michelle Obama was his supervisor.

Well, that took far longer than it should have. EEOC belongs to DOL, and in 1991, DOL's Head was Lynn Martin. Never heard of her before.

Just to end your blithering nonsense on this alone, you really need to stop posting your ignorance on the topic of alcoholism. FYI, a high functioning alcoholic is no less/more critical than a falling down drunk. You're embarrassing yourself.

I do Moon, but the heart wants what the heart wants, yanno?

So facts be damned, you just want your pound of flesh? What a very immature way of looking at things. You might want to rethink that strategy if you ever want to be taken seriously.

My glee aside, I'd be alarmed if these same allegations were lodged against one of the liberal Justices....assuming we have any. I might take a "wait and see" attitude, but declare they don't matter even if true?

Nope.

Good to see that you own up to your bias and that you own up to your hysterics.

Yet, you still think what you post has relevance.

She worked under him twice. Before she accepted the position he'd supervise a second time, she sought and received assurances from Thomas that he would not repeat his misconduct. Thomas broke these promises.

We aren't talking about "hostile workplace" here, yanno. This was the real deal -- quid pro quo sexual harrassment. Nothing did more to end that evil in American workplaces than Professor Hill's testimony against Thomas. She is a heroine of mine, and for good reason.

If it has zero relevance to you Si, stop reading and replying to my posts. A simple solution even you should be able to grasp.

Gossip.... at least to me..... isn't worth the effort to read, yet alone discuss. If stupid people want to indulge in gossip, that's fine.

I totally agree. The FBI background check would have revealed some of it. And if it did; save your "cover up" BS....there would be zero chance Bush Sr. would have kept him as the nominee for AJ of SCOUS unless he was squeaky clean.

Thomas was a black conservative who was a tad extreme in his POVs. To Bush Sr., he was The Second Coming. I doubt Bush would have reconsidered his appointment for anything short of a dead body.

Your criticism only makes sense if the FBI had interviewed Professor Hill or the ex-gf when it conducted its background check on Thomas. It has never even been suggested that they did.

and here you are suggesting they didn't when you don't know jackshit about it one way or the other.

and if you think sexual harassment in the workplace is dead, you need to get out more.

I can speak from personal experience: Professor Hill's testimony did have a positive impact. I'm happy to go into lengthy detail, but no, I am not suggesting no sexual harrassment occurs these days...just that it (hopefully) occurs less often and victims (hopefully) suffer in silence less often.

According to the statistical results, the number of compalines increased during 1996-2000 FY in contrast to the previous period. In 1990, the number of sexual harassment charge receipts filed with the EEOC was 2,217 (3,6%) while in 2000 FY there were about 5, 332 (6,7%). This figures suggests that organisaitons had to paid a lot of money for those who filed suits. It is explained by the fact that “the employer is responsible for sexual harassment by its supervisory personnel–regardless of whether the specific acts complained of were authorized or even forbidden by the employer, and regardless of whether the employer knew or should have known of their occurrence” (Sexual Harassment at Work, 2005).

You do not have to agree that Hill deserves any credit for this, but to me, she is a heroine.
