Gore was never president; how could he have "picked" anyone? Maybe voted for; never picked.

Clarence Thomas will surely go down as one of the biggest fumbles of post-war 20th century American politics. How this man, with absolutely no bench experience, could be elected to the Supreme Court is beyond me. But when it became a smear campaign, he got sympathy votes, and/or the voting became over not whether he is a worthy Supreme Court justice candidate, but whether he was responsible for all that was laid at his feet by Anita Hill and company. In all of this, the fact that he was less qualified to serve on the Supreme Court than to pole vault to the moon was quite overlooked.
