This article discusses the books "Strange Justice: The Selling of Clarence Thomas," Jane Mayer and Jill Abramson, "Resurrection: The Confirmation of Clarence Thomas," by John C. Danforth and "The Complete Transcripts of the Clarence Thomas-Anita Hill Hearings." It has been exactly three years since journalists Tim Phelps of Newsday and Nina Totenberg of National Public Radio broke what Ginni and Clarence Thomas privately called the Scum Story. Yet while in a narrow judicial sense Thomas grows ever more marginal, his standing as a hero for the far right economic libertarian, law-and-order authoritarian and Christian coercive alike grows.
