A Silent Justice Speaks Out
September 30, 2007 11:04 PM
You can read my lengthy story based on more than seven hours of interviews with Justice Clarence Thomas over four days by clicking here. I sat down with Justice Thomas at the Court, at his home--where his wife Virginia also spoke on the record--and even followed the Justice and his wife to Nebraska two weeks ago for the unfortunate drubbing of the Cornhuskers (Thomas is a huge fan) by the USC Trojans. On the record, he spoke in starkly candid terms about affirmative action, growing up in the segregated South, his confirmation battle, Anita Hill and most passionately, on the subject of race. You can see excerpts from my interviews at starting at 12:01 a.m. EDT Monday by clicking here, and I'll have lengthy segments on Good Morning America and World News with Charles Gibson. Then, Monday night, our most extensive television segments based on my interviews will appear on Nightline. Over the next few days, I'll be posting what Justice Thomas told me about his views of the law, the Court and the Justice he most admires. So,watch this space.

Jan, I very much enjoyed reading, and learned much from, your interviews with Justice Thomas online, and look forward to seeing Nightline. Best to you.

You're wonderful, Jan.
Best comment I've seen yet on the Anita Hill controversy comes from G. Will:
"Anita Hill and her allies blazed the path subsequently trod by Crystal Gail Mangum and her fans in the university/media establishment in the Duke non-rape case last year."
But Thomas has an even better last word:
"Once I got on the Court, I vowed I would never do my job as poorly as journalists do theirs."
Bravo! Clarence, you've risen far far above the abysmal bottom-feeding standards of ink-stained hacks & political media-whores like Hill. But this slacker now has a law perfesser job she'd never have gotten had she not sold her soul to left-wing racists---collectivists who hate blacks who think for themselves.
Sorry for the rant, but I used to be a DNC type who recanted after working on the '84 Mondale Presidential Campaign.

Jan, I have been most impressed with your work ever since the NewsHour. I knew when you got this interview it was one I wanted to see because it would be professional, first-rate. There are very, very, few journalists that have your abilities to get the story accurate and unbiased. Thanks

With all due respect to your fans, you and ABC News were used by Justice Thomas and his p.r. machine. Anita Hill's op-ed piece in the NYT was spot on, and Robin Roberts's interview of Hill revealed her to be credible and dignified -- two things that the seething Justice Thomas is not and never will be.

It seems as if WILSON is a cry baby liberal who needs his diaper changed. You Liberals will never be half the man Thomas is. Anita Hill should be imprisoned for her lies.
