Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas criticized Joe Biden, a former senator and vice president, for his questioning during the hearings that ultimately saw Thomas confirmed to the court.<\/p>\n

Thomas, 71, was confirmed on Oct. 15, 1991, with a narrow 52-48 vote.<\/p>\n

Thomas was asked during the filming of a documentary about the judge about Bidens line of questioning regarding \u201cnatural law,\u201d reported ABC<\/a>, which saw footage months before its early 2020 theatrical release.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have no idea what he was talking about,\u201d Thomas said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI understood what he was trying to do. I didnt really appreciate it. Natural law was nothing more than a way of tricking me into talking about abortion.\u201d<\/p>\n

A Biden spokesman said in response: \u201cThen-Senator Biden voted against Clarence Thomas in the Senate Judiciary Committee, he argued against him on the Senate floor, and he voted against his confirmation to a lifetime seat on the Supreme Court. It is no surprise that Justice Thomas does not have a positive view of him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Biden, 77, is running for the Democratic presidential nomination for the third time. A longtime senator, he was vice president to President Barack Obama from 2008 to 2016.<\/p>\n

Thomas told the filmmakers for the documentary that he didnt appreciate what transpired during the hearings and said the animus he saw from Democratic lawmakers was primarily over abortion.<\/p>\n

\u201cI felt as though in my life I had been looking at the wrong people as the people who would be problematic toward me.
