Are you happy now, Teddy Kennedy? Are you happy, Joe Biden? Are you happy now, Harry Reid? It’s due to the things that you did and said that Donald J. Trump is now naming his second Supreme Court justice in under two years in office. It is your fault that the once courtly process of Supreme Court appointments turned into the blood-and-thunder-eye-gouging drama that we hate and we live through today.
It was 31 years ago, in 1987, that Edward M. Kennedy burst on the floor of the Senate to tell us all that with Robert Bork on the Supreme Court, “women would be forced Into back-alley abortions,” blacks would eat at segregated lunch counters, writers and artists could be censored at the whim of the government, and the freedom of millions would hang by a thread.
Before it was over, liberals would raise and spend over $10 million in negative ads (quite a sum at the time) and in lobbying efforts. They would threaten black witnesses with career-ending reprisals and seize and search records of video rentals for signs of blue movies that were never found.
As Steve Hayward says, “The demagogic nature of the public campaign against him made it a watershed moment in American politics, permanently deforming the nomination process as for the judiciary, with ideological battles now extending to the lower federal courts as well.” How true this was proven in 1991, when Kennedy’s office unleashed Anita Hill upon Clarence Thomas, though with less success.

If Dems believe the 51 year old woman, then what about Juanita Broderick rape claims on Bill Clinton
Just as well he became a footnote.
Kavanaugh will be SCOTUS. If this crap is the best Dummycrats have, then Trump SCOTUS #3 (hopefully Barrett or Kethledge) will be on the same level of pathetic..
The evil Democrats had a television ad aired with the actor Gregory Peck,who starred in To Kill a Mockingbird, to accuse Judge ork of being a racist. They were so vile and kept an excellent conservative from serving his country.
Up until now I had regarded Dianne as about as reasonable person as you could expect out of the s4ithole that calls itself San Francisco.
She just undid any charity I might have felt towards her and destroyed her legacy. Amazing how many folks have torched their reps this year.
Growing up in S.F., I met DiFi several times. Never impressed. She’s always been a 3rd-class intellect and a 1st-class left-wing opportunist, even by S.F. standards. She even imposed a total ban on handguns in S.F. (until the courts pointed out a little thing called the 2nd amendment).
Never give them any credit because it’s all lies and showboating.
And, now we have Jeff Flake screwing up the works with his libturd protection scheme...either the committee hears out the ‘accuser’ or he votes against.
Dumbass. Pure and simple.
Democrats would look better if they could just go long.
Anita Hill left the Rats with a plan for a judicial lynching and they come up with Christine Blasey Ford ? after the Borking failed ?
>Growing up in S.F., I met DiFi several times...
Are you now recovering that suppressed memory when she groped you while speaking Chinese?
I just read that DiFi groped someone years ago. And she was speaking Chinese.
Wait, needs more !!!!!!
I think it was Mandarin.
LOL.
Someone order dump trucks overloaded with metal clothes hangers and have them express delivered to all the black neighborhoods. We cant have their infant mortality rate dropping drop below 40%.
Bork would have been a Souter or Kennedy.
Feinstein a real legacy is steering confidential information to her husband so that he can make millions of dollars on government contracts.
Yes. I forgot about that. You are right. Bork would have Borked the Heller decision.
