At first I got worried so I immediately checked his party affiliation ... as soon as I saw he's a Republicant, this made my day!

An Alaska lawyer said Justice Clarence Thomas groped her at a dinner party in 1999, a claim that Thomas said is “preposterous,” the National Law Journal reported Thursday. The publication said Moira Smith posted on Facebook about the alleged incident Oct. 7, the night of the disclosure of Republican presidential nominee’ Donald Trump’s taped boasts about grabbing women. The NLJ report said Smith, at the time a 23-year-old Truman Foundation scholar, said that the incident occurred at the Falls Church, Va., home of her boss. She said Thomas grabbed and squeezed her buttocks several times. “He groped me while I was setting the table, suggesting I should sit ‘right next to him,’ ” Smith wrote, according to the NLJ report. The publication’s Supreme Court reporter, Marcia Coyle, wrote that Smith has now deactivated the Facebook account, but that she interviewed Smith and others about the alleged incident over a two-week period. Coyle reported that a source alerted her to the Facebook posting. Thomas, in a statement through the Supreme Court’s press office, denied Smith’s allegations. “This claim is preposterous and it never happened,” Thomas said. The allegation comes as Thomas is marking his 25th anniversary on the Supreme Court. His contentious confirmation in 1991 was rocked by the claims of a former employee, Anita Hill, that Thomas had verbally sexually harassed her. Those hearings riveted the nation. ... |
