New York Times news service. A Supreme Court justice, after all, is charged first and foremost with protection of the rights of American citi­ zens. Almost all the court's functions come down to the determination whether rights guaranteed by the Consti­ tution or instituted by law have been violated or ignored. It follows that particular attention must be paid to an accusation that a person nominated for that court has himself, or herself, been guilty of violating another's rights; that was reason enough for the Judiciary Commit­ tee to pursue Hill's charges, even if she did not at first wish to speak publicly or be identified. The committee chose, instead, not only to pay little attention to an alleged violation of a citizen's rights by a nominee to a court supposed to protect those rights; it also was not much interested in the fact that the nominee had been directly responsible, as chairman ofthe Equal Em­ ployment Opportunities Commission, for enforcing a right he was accused of violating. Least of all was the committee's concern aroused by the specific charge ~ a woman alleging that a man had harassed her sexually. All the blame cannot be put on the chairman, Joseph Biden; numerous other members ofthe committee knew ofthe matter and failed to force needed action. The White House, when informed, simply stood by its man rather than take the time to make sure he was blameless. Whether the FBI investigation was sufficiently compre­ hensive is not clear; but the agency was given little enough time to complete its work. What's certain, despite all denials and after-the-fact justifications, is that a MEW voRKtsewSDAy serious accusation was not taken seriously by the Judi­ ciary Committee. Had the committee thoroughly investigated the charges, their worthiness ~ or lack of it - could have been estab­ lished.
