And who was the woman who didnтАЩt pay into SS for her housekeeper? She had to withdraw from consideration while Clarence Thomas sucks down somebody elseтАЩs money like a Hoover.
I was recently thinking about that nominee - Kimba Wood. An interesting juxtaposition with ThomasтАЩs hearings. It reminds me of a saying, that misogyny is more openly acceptable than racism.
I think miers would have been very similar to Sandra day O'Connor and therefore not my cup of tea, but no, I don't see her as anywhere close to Thomas in temperament and unsuitability.
Depending on how you define "nominee," you could say she wasn't a nominee, since she was withdrawn, prudently, before being subjected to confirmation hearings. She had absolutely no business being in the conversation for SCOTUS, though. And I think she knew that as well as anyone.
Thomas was the least qualified nominee since Harrold Carswell and no nominee since him has been remotely as unqualified.
And by unqualified, I don't mean didn't go to Harvard law, I mean someone whose temperament is such that he shouldn't be a judge of any sort.
DonтАЩt forget Harriet Meirs.

I don't remember her name, but I believe she was Clinton's first nominee for AG
There were two. Kimba Wood and Z├╢e Baird. Both had undocumented help. Wood paid SS taxes but Baird did not.

I agree. Thomas is in his own category of awful.
So you're saying that Cavanaugh said, "Hold my beer" but failed to attain that title?
Yes, he immediately came to my mind as belonging on that list.
Kavanaugh is an ethical morass and an anger addict who shouldn't have been approved but he actually has an idea about what being a judge is all about
When next I look up, 'Damning with faint praise', I will find these words by howard in the dictionary. ;)
