Anatomy of a character assassination:

1. Wait until the federal regulations for disclosing gifts, trips, etc. change.

2. As soon as the regulations change, attack Clarence Thomas for not following the new rules, without telling readers that the rules just changed.

3. Get propaganda shills to spread this sensational muck far and wide.

With that said, there are some questions I'd like to ask.

-Are Clarence Thomas and Harlan Crow really close friends?

-If so, is the bond that they share related to a particular view of constitutional interpretation?

-If so, what is that interpretation?

-To what extent do Clarence Thomas's judicial opinions dovetail with Harlan Crow's ideological agenda?

-What, precisely, IS Crow's ideological agenda? Is there anything in it that is pernicious to "republican" government (as guaranteed by the Constitution)?
