The Thomas nomination proved that the battle can be won no matter what the dems & rinos do.
False. At the time, the Senate was majority 'Rat. Also, Specter supported Thomas and tore Anita Hill to shreds. Thomas was apporved 52-48 -- too close for comfort!!
Anyway, 1991 was ages ago. Nobody dreamed of using the filibuster to stop Thomas. Today it's a whole new ballgame.
Thomas and Miers are similar nominees.
Frankly, that's not true. Had Thomas been a white man and accused of the same thing he'd have been eviscerated by the false charges.
The mere fact that Thomas is black and could accuse senators, Kennedy, Metzenbaum and the other RATs of a "high tech lynching shut them up and got him over the top.
