The Media’s Latest Smear of a Trump Judicial Nominee

Left-wing opponents of an impartial and independent judiciary have picked another target: appeals court nominee Steven Menashi.

It’s one thing to be honest about a nominee’s record, but disagree about whether he belongs on the bench. The attacks begun on Menashi, however, amount to nothing more than dishonest smears.

Menashi, whose Jewish family came to the United States from Iran, received his law degree from Stanford before clerking first for U.S. Circuit Judge Douglas Ginsburg and then for Justice Samuel Alito. He became a partner at one of America’s premier law firms and has taught at two prestigious law schools.

The brewing conflict over Menashi’s nomination, like so many others, is not about his qualifications, or really about him at all. It’s about the kind of judge he will be.

All they have to do to defeat a nominee is get the weak-in-the-knees moderates to come out against.

This is their media campaign.

The 2nd Circuit currently has 6 democrat appointees and 5 republican appointees, with two vacancies.

The leftist will go all out to protect this New York circuit, and if this guy gets confirmed, then it will be 6-6, and then one more nominee and the Circuit is flipped republican.

It’s still frustrating, a year later, to think about how the Democrats handled the Kavanaugh nomination. Was that a shot across the bow, to let all future judicial nominees know, that they are not above making up false accusations, and not caring what any of that does to the nominee or his family? Will the experience of Kavanaugh, cause some good people to decline to be nominated for judgeships, or any other high positions?

The last thing the Dems want on the influential court is a conservative of Jewish descent. Even if he clerked for RBG.

Has she weighed in on him? I suppose she should be above all of this, but we know she isn’t.

>>one more nominee and the Circuit is flipped republican.<<

Huh? Name one court that is republican. They are all leftist, no matter how many republicans there are.

The attack on Kavanaugh didn’t work simply because we knew they would do it. We expected it, so when it came no one believed it.

That’s a problem they have now. We fully expect them to lie, and trot out false witnesses. So nothing they do is believable.

I’m NOT at all sure that most people, including conservative political advocates like me, actually believed that the LEFTIST DIMocRATS would KNOWINGLY suborn perjury to try (unsuccessfully) to defeat Justice Kavanaugh.

NOW, we all know that the DIMocRATS will do ANYTHING, NO matter how DISHONEST to try to defeat EVERY conservative who is nominated to any appeals court vacancy.

“They are all leftist, no matter how many republicans there are“

America will never be free until the GOP is destroyed.

U.S. Circuit Judge Douglas Ginsburg is, to the best of my knowledge, not the same as RBG.
