The fact that a Democratic controlled Senate confirmed a judge as crooked as Thomas and a pervert like Thomas to the Supreme Court boggles my mind.
I mean, Ted Kennedy and Daniel Inouye were in the Democratic controlled Senate at the time, so it's not like they had standards.
Thomas was confirmed (narrowly) thanks to such conservadem Senators like Boren.
I thought conservative Democrats were racist, though?
Robert Byrd voted against Clarence Thomas. He also voted against Thurgood Marshall. Probably because they were black.
