33. It's not just degrading women for Confused-Clarence. It's his fetish of degrading BLACK

women.

Confused-Clarence had deep disdain for his own ethnicity because Ms. Hill wasn't the only one he sexually harassed. She was the only one with enough strength of character to call him on it. I deeply admire the woman for it. She was a helluva lot more courageous than Senatorial Democrats, that's for sure!

Democrats were spineless during his confirmation hearings. They should've gone after him full speed ahead. And I don't understand how any Democrat outside of the "red" States would vote for this unqualified, purely-pro-GOP joke to sit on our U.S. Supreme Court. It just baffles me to no end.
