Would Anita Hill be a suitable SCOTUS nominee?

[sharesunited]

She was born in Oklahoma. Would she get the support of Inhofe and Coburn?

She seems like more of a scholar than Clarence Thomas ever did.

Would her presence on the Court outrage and/or shame Clarence Thomas enough to cause him to resign?

Wouldn't it be poetic justice of the most Machiavellian kind!

1. She would be my first choice

:)

2. Not likely to happen.

[hayu_lol]

4. Put Anita on the same court as Clarence? ...

never get approval for one thing. Clarence will not resign that job--for him, it is the best sinecure he could ever find. No work to do and power and prestige flows in.

Doubt if Anita would be interested. At best, she would cancel his judgements.

3. Nope, she's too old

Fifty-three is too old for a SCOTUS appointment.

[JNelson6563]

5. I love it!

It won't happen but I give this a 100 on the delicious irony meter. :toast:

[seabeyond]

6. sure. let thomas sit in institution for two decades, aquiring the power and strength and then

put anita in to fend for herself as the new gal.

nope.

i doubt she would want it anyway for many reasons

11. "The new gal?" It's the Supreme Court, not Mad Men

Criminy. :eyes:

[liberal N proud]

7. Inhofe and Coburn are republican, they will say NO!

[nevergiveup]

8. It would be worth it

just to watch Virginia Thomas in a major melt-down.

[blondeatlast]

14. You got that right. nt

[xxqqqzme]

9. She was my first thought days ago.

Talk about sweet justice!

[sharesunited]

10. And if they wanted to rehash the Thomas confirmation, that would be fantastic.

Even if she were eventually withdrawn or voted down, the shot across their bow would be thunderous.

[Rage Inc.]

12. No.

[ProgressiveProfessor]

13. Why not Lani Guinier?

Arguably better prepared than Anita Hill

[hobbit709]

15. It would never happen but the idea of watching their heads explode.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Rockholm]

16. The theatre alone would be great for a nomination!

I really like her but I don't think it would happen.

[truebrit71]

17. No but I'd love to be there when Clarence Thomas heard that idea...

..:evilgrin:

[TexasObserver]

18. No.
