1991: University of Oklahoma law professor Anita Hill publicly accused Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas of making inappropriate comments when she worked for him; naturally Thomas denied Hill's allegations...newly confirmed Justice Kavanaugh at least had a roadmap to follow; one wonders if Justices Kagen, Ginsburg, and Sotomayor, judicious Dame's all, will address them as ' your honor'??
