I have to tell you, in hind sight, maybe Anita Hill was right?!?!
Quote from: Pete on June 23, 2023, 10:33:03 PMI have to tell you, in hind sight, maybe Anita Hill was right?!?!There's a current podcast about Thomas, not about the stuff now, but his upbringing and it concludes with the confirmation hearings. America of the early 90s was really mumped up. It's pretty amazing how differently women and minorites were treated back then. There were so few women and black voices in Washington back then that Thomas was allowed to lie and bully without being checked all because whites, led by Joe Biden didn't feel like they could challenge him in fear of backlash from black voters. 30 years later and Joe Biden still only knows how to identify with black people by thinking about what southern black voters want.Anyway, the podcast is really good and the federal government, starting with Joe Biden, owes Anita Hill a formal apology.https://slate.com/podcasts/slow-burn/s8/becoming-justice-thomas

But Thomas got some good coaching…get out in front, say this whole confirmation hearing has been a modern day lynching, and nobody was going to dare being on the opposite side of that.

Elder woman held hostage by her employees for last period of life so coworkers could prosper.
That's assuming she had the mental capacity to make that self-assessment and determination. Something I would not take for granted in this case.

Newsome better appoint an interim quick so we can avoid a (prolonged) shutdown. Wouldn't be surprised if he already has a list ready, given this foreseeable event.

Wouldn't be surprised if he already has a list ready, given this foreseeable event.Supposedly, Newsome’s list is why she did t step down. Apparently, there is a difference of opinion between him and other party members in who should be set up to take her place.
He should choose himself
