And who was the woman who didn’t pay into SS for her housekeeper? She had to withdraw from consideration while Clarence Thomas sucks down somebody else’s money like a Hoover.

I was recently thinking about that nominee - Kimba Wood. An interesting juxtaposition with Thomas’s 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Depending on how you define "nominee," you could say she wasn't a nominee, since she was withdrawn, prudently, before being subjected to confirmation hearings.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.
Don’t 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 Zöe Baird. Both had undocumented help. Wood paid SS taxes but Baird did not.

I agree. Thomas is in his own category of awful.
