Yes. Justice Clarence Thomas was narrowly confirmed by the Senate by a vote of 52-48 on October 15, 1991. His reputation was temporarily damaged as the result of a Senate Judiciary hearing in which a former employee, attorney Anita Hill, claimed he sexually harassed her when she worked for him at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Although the Judiciary Committee concluded there was insufficient evidence against him to kill his nomination, the Committee declined to recommend him to the full Senate.
Thomas has been an active member of the Court for 19 years.

When did clarence Thomas die?
Clarence Thomas is only the second African-American to sit on the Supreme Court. He was nominated by George H. W. Bush to replace the retiring Thurgood Marshall (the first African-American Justice) in 1991. Thomas was made infamous during the Senate confirmation hearing, lead by Republican-turned-Democrat Senator Arlen Specter, when a former employee, lawyer Anita Hill, accused him of sexual harassment. No legal action was taken against Thomas due to lack of convincing evidence, but the Senate Judiciary Committee was split 7-7 in their opinion and sent his nomination to the Senate Floor without recommendation. Thomas is considered to be one of the most conservative Justices in the history of the Court.
