So what happens with the Clarence Thomas scandal now?
All of the emails I have calling for petitions/support have been from Rep Weiner. Is anyone else taking up this mantle with him?

I know he isn't stepping down, but his credibility is rather shot for now by lying. If you are going to go up against a SCOTUS judge, it generally isn't recommended to send pics of your junk to college students.

1. This SCOTUS judge is a porn addict.
I don't think there will be a problem.

3. Truly? Wow - what did I miss??
I was referring to the lying on required disclosure forms about the source and amount of spousal income.

2. What makes me wonder.
Edited on Mon Jun-06-11 04:40 PM by RandomThoughts
Is why don't the Congress people know about all the monitoring of all the internet traffic.

How could he do that, and also know about the programs in place that private sector uses to hack into computers.


I have seen a ton of security firm stuff, where through the actual software on computers, they can hack into any computer.

Why doesn't congress know the private sector is doing that.



Thats why I wonder if it was a real 'confession'. Or if it was real, then why doesn't congress know what is done in tech sector black rooms.


Then again the speech was scheduled at 4PM just like President Obamas Bin Laden speech, and was postponed, so it could have been cleaned up.

Shrug, how would anyone know.

5. I work in the private sector, and our computers are ridiculously locked down.
Last election, I was even blocked from viewing the election guide that our local paper published. LOL!

Once, I forwarded a spreadsheet to my home email from work so that I could print it and read it over a long weekend. It was an attachment and marked internal-use-only. Our security is so tight that the scanners picked up 'internal use' on the attachment and sent a warning email to compliance within hours of me sending it. I wasn't in any trouble, but it was shocking to see how close they monitor this stuff.

7. I have seen security speciallist add and remove files using
parts of code in programs. OS, and many other programs.


You are not locked down from Corporate groups with black rooms.


Thats what the scene in Philadelphia Movie where a file disappeared and reappeared was about.

4. in the pursuit of Clarence "pubic hair" Thomas, this might fall under the legal precedent of
It Takes One To Know One.

or,


I Know You Are But What Am I.


(apologies to Ruben Bolling and Anthony Weiner, both)
