Clarence Thomas accepted vacations paid for by a prosperous guy. So should he be disqualified as a Supreme Court judge?
Samuel Alito’s wife hangs flags that may contain hidden political messages. So should he be disqualified as a Supreme Court judge?
Brett M. Kavanaugh? We know the lie that caused him to be persecuted by the liar in front of his wife and daughters. So should he be disqualified as a Supreme Court judge?
Amy Coney Barrett has “lion’s dogma[ing] inside” her? So should she be disqualified as a Supreme Court judge?
It never ends.
The left has no end of vile and vile tactics up its sleeve to corrupt law and justice – and just plain honesty. They destroyed the reputations of Robert Bork, G. Harrold Carswell and Clement Haynsworth. And it worked. They wanted to sully, tarnish and crush the reputation and dignity of Clarence Thomas. It almost worked. They intimidated Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, and George H. W. Bush into raising their hands to the sky, giving up their elections to the conservative Supreme Court, and moving on to the leftist milquetoasts that Democrats wanted: left-liberal justices like Harry Blackmun, Sandra Day O’ Connor, Anthony Kennedy and David Souter.
The Democrat strategy always works. They have no scruples or remorse when it comes to playing fair or destroying good and decent people. Barring miracles, they would have already added Puerto Rico and Washington as states (giving them four more U.S. senators), expanded the Supreme Court to 15 justices (the current nine plus six additional Obama-Biden justices), and would soon try to add 10 million or more illegal voters to the ballot Democrats to guarantee their ultimate dream of rigging the election.
Republicans in Washington take it, take it, take it, like human piñatas. That’s why so many conservative, everyday citizens have turned to Donald Trump and Tea Party-style U.S. senators and Freedom Caucus-style congressional representatives. There is no other way to justice and fairness in America than to fight, blow by blow, until the cruelty stops.
Why was there never a concerted effort by Republicans to exclude Ruth Ginsburg from all cases that had even an indirect connection to Donald Trump after she accidentally called him a liar, a “fake” in a memo? In her words“There is no consistency in it. He says whatever comes to his mind at the moment. He really has an ego. She shamelessly openly announced her prejudices against all things Trump, just as publicly as Hunter Biden announced to the world that he was a drug addict. It was a plain matter, case closed. The left is questioning Alito’s right to sit on any “January 6 appeal,” while no one has ever argued that Ginsburg was much more frontally biased than she was against Trump.
Why did Ketanji Jackson – the one who couldn’t define what a woman was – give up so easily, especially when that person couldn’t define the term under oath? What, she has a degree from Harvard? As do the dozens of people who create encampments, fight cops, and threaten other students there. What, this person is different? Did Republicans seek her law school transcripts? Was this person a straight A student? If not, how much? (We know they inflate all the ratings there anyway.) But why no grilling, like Schumer with cheese on a raw hamburger? Does this person consider themselves a woman, a man, or something inconspicuous? If this person considers themselves a woman, why can’t they define it? We know she was elected because she was considered the “two” of Affirmative Action/DEI: black and female. However, while this person benefits from being classified as a DEI-eligible “female,” she is unable to define it. Moreover, this person’s previous work as a district judge was unremarkable. Her opinions were even rejected by liberal Democrat judges, sometimes unanimously.
And Sotomayor. How did it slip through without a scratch? Even a beloved leftist lawyer from Harvard Law School wrote a private letter to Obama, calling her completely unworthy of being appointed to the Supreme Court. Herself admits she got into college at Princeton with low scores on standardized tests, and got into the coveted Yale Law School again thanks to “Affirmative Action”, despite her again low scores on standardized admission tests. She she called herself “affirmative action’s ideal child” i accused her consistently low scores on “cultural bias” tests. She “was not taken into account among the most outstanding students in their class.” She was tried out as a summer associate at the well-known law firm Paul, Rifkind, Wharton and Garrison and by her own admission that she “wasn’t good at performing”. Interestingly, contrary to standard practice in such companies, Paul, Rifkind did not invite her again after the 2L holidays and did not offer her the position.
The next year she filed a complaint against the law firm of Shaw, Pittman, Potts and Trowbridge for saying at a admissions dinner that she got into Yale as an affirmative action student. Did you understand? She attacked them for saying about her what she said about herself! When Obama nominated her to the Supreme Court, far-left Harvard professor Laurence Tribe urged Obama not to appoint Sotomayor, writing this “she’s not as smart as she seems” and that “her reputation as something of a tyrant may well cause her liberal impulses to backfire and simply increase the firepower of the Roberts/Alito/Scalia/Thomas wing of the court.”
How brazen the Republicans were when their distinguished Supreme Court nominees were mercilessly brutalized by Democrat-type assassins, while the truly discredited Democratic nominees came through unscathed! So now Democrat assassins are after Justices Alito and Thomas. Republicans must stand up. The only way this will ever end is if and when the GOP does it immediately. Let us hope, however, that the next opportunity will come in a few presidential terms.
