Justice Clarence Thomas rebukes Biden-led confirmation hearings in new film.
Justice Clarence Thomas is joining public criticism of Joe Biden whose handling of Thomas' 1991 Supreme Court confirmation hearings when he was a senator has been a flash point in the former vice president's 2020 presidential campaign.
"But it turned out that through all of that, ultimately the biggest impediment was the modern day liberal," he said of the experience."They were the ones who would discount all those things because they have one issue or because they have the power to caricature you." The movie also casts a spotlight on Biden, who has faced renewed criticism from his fellow Democrats for his treatment of Anita Hill, an African-American law professor who had accused Thomas of sexual harassment and testified publicly before the committee during the 1991 hearings. Biden called Hill to apologize earlier this year for his handling of the case."Do I have like stupid written on the back of my shirt? I mean come on. We know what this is all about," Thomas says in the film.
"Having created the constitutional right to an abortion, this Court is dutybound to address its scope," Thomas wrote earlier this year in a concurring opinion on an Indiana abortion law.
