As you might have heard, Donald Trump tweeted at a judge.


The commentariat shuddered at the effrontery of it, some worried that the foundations of the separation of powers had been shaken, and even Supreme Court nominee Judge Neil Gorsuch reportedly said he was disheartened. Trump’s slam of Judge James Robart was undeniably crude and ill-considered, but it wasn’t a threat to our republic.

A real crude remark is traipsing in Anita Hill to accuse sitting Appellate Court judge Clarence Thomas, not just some federal judge of Seattle,  of sexually explicit language and gestures. 

Now that was crude as it had absolutely nothing to do with respect for the Constitution, which was the subject of the hearing taking place on his SC nomination.
