A former girlfriend of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has broken her 19-year silence about a "serious" relationship the two had during the 1980s, reigniting the debate over Thomas' sexual behavior first sparked by Anita Hill's famed confirmation hearing testimony in 1991.

Lillian McEwen, a retired prosecutor, law professor and administrative law judge, discussed her intimacy with Thomas in a lengthy television interview Friday with reporter Rebecca Cooper of ABC affiliate WJLA in Washington, D.C.

The goal (imo): force one of the 'conservative' justices out. Suspicious timing as well since the news broke about Thomas' wife calling Hill wanting an apology and now this sleazy woman comes forward.

I agree that it is Interesting about the timing. But I still understand why Thomas’ wife left a voice message. Why not a letter? What am I missing here?

“Thomas’ wife calling Hill wanting an apology “

Seems like Thomas’s wife started this - it was bad timing on her part.

The timing of this is odd, to say the least. Will these people never leave the man alone?

Sounds like the communist push is on. Anyone who has studied communist tactics should find this familiar.

Suspicious timing? So Mrs. Thomas was in on it?

I’m not sure I follow or understand why his wife even left a VM. Why now?
Now this comes out?

So...he’s a man. Lots of men get turned on by porn. So do lots of women.

I personally find it boring - a blind date thought it would be fun to see a XXX movie a long, long time ago. Dreadful evening and he was wrong about ‘fun’.

In appreciation of Justice Thomas’s superb work on the bench I’d send him as many cases of Adult DVDs as he can watch.

Great judge. Dedicated American. I don’t care about his private life.

Sounds like another ‘hi-tech lynching’. Lots of important stuff coming up before the court: most vulnerable target, he is, I reckon.

I’ve not read that the Feebs have concluded that wifey actually made the call....

It is very bizarre. Shortly before an election and she is considered a Tea Party supporter or something. Who knows though- there is often more to the story then what the media tells us. For all I know, someone else might have precipated the recent call from Mrs Thomas. This so-called “lover” of Justice Thomas- Why did SHE wait all these decades to come forward? given that the Justice really can’t speak out now that he is on the court, it is a VERY cheap and low blow for this “woman” to do this now, of all times. She probably was paid to do this.
