NPR reporter won't reveal sources
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — A National Public Radio journalist is refusing to identify the sources who told her about sexual harassment allegations against Justice Clarence Thomas.
Reporter Nina Tenkenberg appeared under subpoena Monday before Senate special counsel Peter Fleming Jr. was hired to investigate news leaks.
Tottenberg told reporters after the closed-door questioning that she refused to cooperate in the leak investigation in part because of personal
honor.
But most important is the first principle of the Bill of Rights — the First Amendment — which guarantees press freedom, she said.
Fleming was hired, in part, to discover who leaked law professor Anita Hill's allegations that she was sexually harassed by Thomas, who now is an associate justice of the Supreme Court.
Tottenberg and Timothy Phelps of Newsday, a Long Island newspaper, were the first journalists to reveal
Hill's allegations. Phepis was questioned by Flingon on Feb. 14 and said
"Within the next day or two, I destroyed all notes, copies of documents, phone logs or anything else that might lead to the identification of the source or sources of my story," Totenberg said.
WASHINGTON — Thus far in his Supreme Court tenure, Justice Clarence Thomas is living up to — perhaps exceeding — expectations that he would be a staunch conservative addition to the court.
The Associated Press
In the 13 decisions in which he has participated, Thomas has the identical voting record of only one other justice, Antonin Scalia, the court's most conservative member.
Conservative label sticking to Thomas
"It looks to me that he's going to become a clone of Justice Scalia, confirming the worst fears of those who tend to be more liberal." New York lawyer Cameron Clark said yesterday after Thomas issued a strongly worded dissenting opinion in a prisoner-rights decision.
The court ruled 7-2 for a Louisiana inmate who had been punched and kicked by prison guards. It said unnecessary physical force might be unconstitutional even if no serious injuries are inflicted
Scialia joined Thomas in a dissenting opinion that accused the court of giving in to the pervasive view that the federal Constitution must address all ills in our society.
Clark, who represents the international anti-torture group Human Rights Watch, called Thomas' opinion surprising and disappointing for its narrow view of the Constitution's ban on cruel and unusual punishment.

Dear Kristen
My roommate just left for Rio. 15 members of his host family will meet him at airport!
I'm off to the Amazon tomorrow Archbishop Desmond Tutu just boarded the ship.
Can't believe we will spend 10 days crossing the Atlantic hearing him lecture on South Africa and talking informally at dinner and on deck.
Com Amor.
Brian
