The New York Times wrote Clarence Thomas’s Wife Asks Anita Hill for Apology. "Virginia Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Associate Justice Clarence Thomas, left a message last weekend on the voicemail of Anita Hill, who accused her husband of sexual harassment during his confirmation hearings, a spokeswoman for Ms. Thomas confirmed on Tuesday."
Ok, here's the bizarre message. “Good morning, Anita Hill, it’s Ginny Thomas,” she said, according to ABC News. “I just wanted to reach across the airwaves and the years and ask you to consider something. I would love you to consider an apology sometime and some full explanation of why you did what you did with my husband. So give it some thought and certainly pray about this and come to understand why you did what you did. Okay have a good day.”
Now I could see being quite surprised by this, or thinking it's a prank, but would you do this? "Andrew Gully, senior vice president of the Brandeis University Communications office, confirmed that Ms. Hill had received the message, that she had turned it over to the campus Department of Public Safety Monday. They, in turn, passed it on to the FBI."
I had missed this op-ed Hill wrote 3 years ago after Thomas' book came out.

Well, she was thinking like a lawyer and wanted the call to be documented. I might consider calling the FBI if that wench called me to coerce me to do something, she's a high-level Tea Party operative who refuses to admit that her advocacy might have any effect on her husband's decisions. Her organization, Liberty Central, is a 501(c)(4) that spends money on political races while refusing to identify its donors, but of course THAT would never come before the court, right?
c/that wench/Ginny Thomas/
Not because I feel that "that wench" is not as respectful as she deserves, but because I referred to 2 different women without using their names and wanted to be clear which one was the wench I'd be concerned about hearing from.
Interesting point about the anonymity of donors to her org. Thomas was the only member of the court to support allowing anonymous political donations in Citizens United.
