Crap, crap, crap... I just wrote out an explanation and it went POOF. Lets re-try this...
Bottom line: we are 2 years out from our presidential elections. This is prime time for presidential hopefuls to start testing the waters. I think this is politically motivated. One rumor going around up here is that Clarence may be bored with the bench and is hoping for a presidential run (which would be STUPID, given that his job is secured for life and in the long term gives him more influence on the shape of this country, than any president would ever have, IMO). OR: his wife is aiming for a run, given that she has started a conservative group that focuses on going against the Obama administration.
By gaining an apology, Clarence or wife could use it as a sympathetic ploy in a presidential bid. By not gaining an apology, both could use it as a key to say that Hill was nothing more than an ongoing product of the Demo machine trying to keep a conservative down.
I could be wrong... but yeah... political aspirations on a grand scale is my theory for this...
I have to agree that there is some testing of the waters here. There is also the possibility that she was put up to it by someone behind the scenes that is connected to her group. THAT person could be trying to see how things flow for their purposes OR hers. Who knows.
As for making the call public, could she have felt threatened? Who knows.
IMHO the call was tacky, and the reaction to it was tacky.
