Read this NY Times report and then join in the "March to Castrate Justice Clarence Thomas"
WASHINGTON
— Lillian McEwen is not one of the women whose name is generally
associated with Justice Clarence Thomas and his contentious confirmation
hearings for a Supreme Court seat.
But
now, at age 65 and retired from a long legal career, with nothing to
lose and a book to sell, Ms. McEwen is ready for that to change.
This
week’s news that his wife, Virginia, had left voice mail for Anita
Hill, asking her to apologize for “what you did with my husband” at the
confirmation hearings, gave Ms. McEwen an unexpected opportunity to talk
about Justice Thomas, the man she was romantically involved with for
“six or seven years” in the 1980s. The
phone call, she said in an
interview Friday, makes sense to her.
For Ms. Thomas, she said,
the accusation of
sexual harassment made by Ms. Hill “still has to be a
mystery, that he is still angry about this and upset about it after all
these years, and I can understand that she would want to know why, and
solve a problem if she could — I mean, acting as a loyal wife.”
But
Ms. McEwen said she knew a different Clarence Thomas, one whom she
recognized in the 1991 testimony of Ms. Hill, who claimed that he had
repeatedly made inappropriate sexual comments to her at work, including
descriptions of pornographic films.
Ms. McEwen said that
pornography for Justice Thomas was “just a part of his personality
structure.” She said he kept a stack of pornographic magazines,
“frequented a store on Dupont Circle that catered to his needs,” and
allowed his interest in pornography to bleed into his professional
relationships.
“It starts inside,” she said, tapping her head
during a 30-minute interview inside her three-story condominium in
Southwest Washington. “And then your behavior flows from what it is
that’s important to you. That’s what happened with him, certainly.”
Justice Thomas, through a Supreme Court spokeswoman, Kathy Arberg, declined to comment.
Ms.
McEwen, who said she was surprised not to be subpoenaed by either side,
did not testify about Justice Thomas at his confirmation hearings. She
said she never received a response from a note she wrote to Senator
Joseph R. Biden Jr., who was running the hearings and with whom she had
worked as a
lawyer for the Judiciary Committee. She said the note, sent
after Justice Thomas was nominated, reminded Mr. Biden that she knew the
nominee.
“The hearings themselves were so constrained — the
questioning, the subject matter — the scope of the hearings didn’t
really allow for any kind of treatment of the issues that had been
raised,” she said. “The kind of Clarence I knew at the time that these
events occurred is the kind of Clarence that did not emerge from the
hearings, I’ll say that. It was not him, and he probably would not have
been on the court if the real Clarence had actually been revealed.”
But
now Ms. McEwen, who first spoke to The Washington Post for an article
published Friday, is ready to talk about the man she says is the “real
Clarence,” or at least the one she knew intimately. After retiring in
2007, Ms. McEwen began working on a memoir, which she
completed this
year. Ms. McEwen also spoke with ABC News.
The book, tentatively
called “All About Me,” focuses on her childhood in the District, but she
said Justice Thomas appears “in probably about 20 to 25 percent of the
pages in the book, because he was a significant part of my life for many
years.”
However, what may be the biggest scoop in her book — the
private details of her contact with Justice Thomas — may also prove the
biggest challenge in getting it published. She said that some agents
have not gotten back to her, and others have said “it’s just not the
kind of book that they are particularly enthusiastic about, a lot of it
having to do with the fact that Clarence is included.”
Though Ms.
McEwen still seems to get upset discussing Justice Thomas at times, she
said she was the one who ended the relationship.
“He was
changing and I didn’t like it,” she said. “He was just becoming obsessed
with campaigning for the president and interviewing with reporters and
raising his child in a way I didn’t like. It’s a combination of
obsessed, ambitious, irritable and bullying that was just too much for
me.”
Ms. McEwen has generally kept a low profile all these years,
largely out of respect for the wishes of Justice Thomas, who asked her
to “take the same position toward him that his first wife had taken” and
not speak publicly about their relationship. They see each other
“sporadically” — the last time they crossed paths, she said, was at a
talk he gave at Howard University after his book, “My Grandfather’s
Son,” came out in 2007.
“His book had a sense of anger about that
whole process, that led me to believe he still carries a grudge, as if
he had been victimized somehow, and as if he hadn’t won,” she said. “It
was almost as if he were not on the Supreme Court. Like he was kept from
it.”

As for Ms. McEwen’s book, she said the process of writing it was therapeutic. She recently showed it to her daughter.
“It was probably T.M.I.,” she said, using the abbreviation for “too much information.” “But that’s the way it is.”
Sorry Anita
