Was Anita Hill appointed to the US Supreme Court by President Bush?
No. Anita Hill challenged President George HW Bush's nomination of Justice Clarence Thomas in 1991. Hill had worked for Thomas when he oversaw the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee that he had created a hostile work environment through sexual harassment. Several other women agreed with Hill, but refused to testify; therefore, the Committee determined there was insufficient evidence to support Anita Hill's charges. This resulted in the Judiciary Committee vote being split 7-7 on the issue of recommending approval or rejection to the full Senate, so Thomas' nomination was sent to the floor without any recommendation. The full Senate confirmed Thomas' appointment by a 52-48 vote, the narrowest margin of approval in more than a century.

Since Thomas has been on the bench, he's done nothing to warrant impeachment. He is unpopular with progressives due to his extreme conservatism, but a justice can't be impeached for his views; that would be unconstitutional.
