[Marxism] Joe Biden and Anita Hill

[Pat Costello <pt_costello@xxxxxxxxx>]

When Senator Barack Obama mentioned last week at the Saddleback Church faith 
forum
that he wouldnât have appointed Clarence Thomas to the Supreme Court bench, 
perhaps 
he had already been reviewing the presiding role that his now running mate, 
Senator 
Joseph R. Biden Jr., played in the judgeâs confirmation hearings long ago.

Mr. Biden at the time was chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. And while 
the 
Delaware Democrat ultimately voted against confirming Mr. Thomas, he was widely 
criticized by liberal legal advocates and womenâs groups as having mismanaged 
the 
allegations of sexual harassment made by Ms. Hill against her former employer, 
Mr. 
Thomas, at the Department of Education and at the Equal Employment Opportunity 
Commission, at those hearings.
