Despite your testimony on october fifteenth, 19 91, the senate voted to confirm clarence thomas as an associate justice of the supreme court by a 52 forty eight vote. And he is still, 30 years later, on the court to day. But i don'tly think people fully understand the culture at the time. The whole concept of it was so unbelievable to me that i thought i was the only one in the world that was happening to like, this just didn't even seem possible. It wasn't until i saw a letter from dear ann landers in the newspaper that i i saw that it could happen to other people.
