Dahlia Lithwick saves me from having to read her hit on Clarence Thomas’s memoir by declaring in the second sentence: “In his telling, virtually everyone who has ever wronged him has done so because of his race.” His assessment, for example, that the vigorous attempt at Borking his Supreme Court nomnation was all about abortion has already been widely quoted. So, good, I have more time to read other things this Saturday. No Lithwick for me.
