From the Washington Post:
McEwen apparently began her career as an ALJ at Social Security not long after the Thomas confirmation hearing. She later moved on to the Securities and Exchange Commission.For nearly two decades, Lillian McEwen has been silent -- a part of history, yet absent from it.
When Anita Hill accused Clarence Thomas of sexual harassment during his explosive 1991 Supreme Court confirmation hearing, Thomas vehemently denied the allegations and his handlers cited his steady relationship with another woman in an effort to deflect Hill's allegations.Lillian McEwen was that woman.
At the time, she was on good terms with Thomas. The former assistant U.S. attorney and Senate Judiciary Committee counsel had dated him for years, even attending a March 1985 White House state dinner as his guest ...Now, she says that Thomas often said inappropriate things about women he met at work -- and that she could have added her voice to the others, but didn't.
Over the years, reporters and biographers approached her eager to know more about Thomas from women who knew him well. But McEwen remained mum. She said she saw "nothing good" coming out of talking to reporters about Thomas, whom she said she still occasionally met. ...
Today, McEwen is 65 and retired from a successful career as a prosecutor, law professor and administrative law judge for federal agencies.
"Now, she says that Thomas often said inappropriate things about women he met at work -- and that she could have added her voice to the others, but didn't."
ReplyDeleteNow almost 20 years later when she is shopping a book, she decides to come clean.
BS
Thomas is on the court for life, the left needs to get over it.
Mr. Hall you are a slug for even posting this trash here.
I wonder what other secrets alj McEwen kept?
ReplyDeleteWhat secrets are the current alj's keeping so their wasteful salaries are paid?
What secrets ssa's attornies are hiding so their wasteful salaries are paid?
I hope she is writing a book. I would like to hear what she has to say. It is a shame that Anita Hill was left out there by herself and treated the way she was. And what is wrong with her writing a book--what in the world made Mrs. Thomas come out now and ask for an apology!!! This is definitely one time that I wish the court job wasn't for life. I believe he has has no business being on the Supreme Court.
ReplyDeletePoppycock, Anon #1. C. Hall has posted nothing more nor less than what major media has been reporting for the last few days. The silly person here is Ginny Thomas for making such a phone call. No, wait, maybe she was just looking to raise more money from the right wing-nuts for her lobbying organization--and didn't care what happened to her husband's already battered reputation.
ReplyDeleteRegardless, it is amazing how often someone decides to "come clean" when there is money from a book deal to be made. No one tells the "truth" unless there is some profit in it. Hey, where's the "overpaid ALJ" guy to rant about what her pension must be?
ReplyDeleteThe "overpaid ALJs" guy did leave a comment he is anon#2.
ReplyDeleteI think that Thomas' having an affair with LM and marrying Ginny just proves he likes crazy women. Professor Hill does not fit that profile and that was Thomas' mistake.
Why not get money for telling a good "tail". If everyone wasn't so nosey and gossip happy, there wouldn't be any money in it. Supply and demand.
