In this episode we get to listen in on various panels both in favor of Judge Clarence Thomas and opposed to Clarence Thomas testify in front of the United States Senate Judiciary Committee. You will hear the senators raise issues from Affirmative Action, to Civil Rights, to the Judges opinion on the South African Government.
You will hear from a former Attorney General , Griffin Bell, some Georgia State Senators, a State Judge, the President of the American Bar Association, and several College Professors who taught Thomas at Holy Cross University.
This is an excellent opportunity for many of our listeners to hear the U. S. Senate at work debating and discussing issues in a civil manner about the qualifications of a Supreme Court Nominee. Things don't get ugly until our next episode. You will hear some of the giants of the Senate in this episode asking questions and gathering information and it will give you some insights into why Clarence Thomas was picked to be on the Supreme Court in the first place, before the debate of race and sexual harassment over shadowed everything.
