Both are hard to fathom but sexual compulsions, especially of a deviant nature, are incredibly strong. Just consider Anthony Weiner and Eliot Spitzer. I find it much easier to believe that Thomas would disregard the risks to his career, such as it was at the time, to yield to his sexual impulses than to believe that, after long consideration, Anita Hill would come forward at the risk of her own future. The one act is insane and the other is courageous.

Anita Hill for SCOTUS!
