Well, Kendall and McGrath, at least Thomas isn't as nasty a piece of work as his fellow liar & buddy Rhenquist, who committed perjury before the Senate Judiciary Committee more than once during his confirmation hearings.

For example: He was confronted with a memo he had written as a law clerk for Justice Jackson which read "I think that we should argue in favor of Plessey vs. Ferguson- that's the 1898 "Separate but Equal" Supreme Court decision re: Black/White education & facilities, for our non-U.S. friends. Rhenquist lied under oath & told the committee that he was just transcribing something that Justice Jackson had said, but that was NOT Jackson's position, nor could Rhenquist produce any other "transcriptions". And Jackson was conveniently dead.

Now, had he lied about consensual sex, on the other hand...

Best, Greg
