Donald Trump Falsely Claims Justice Samuel Alito Supported His Sister
Life News ^ | 2/26/2016 | Steven Ertelt

Posted on 02/26/2016 5:45:41 AM PST by agrarianlady

"Apart from the fact that judges do not sign bills into law, pro-life attorney Matt Bowman of Alliance Defending Freedom indicates Trump is wrong on the point and that Justice Alito, when he was a lower court justice, not only did not agree with Judge Maryanne Trump Barry on opposing a bill to ban partial-birth abortions he went out of his way to indicate how he disagreed with her.

While some pro-life voters were shocked that Trump continued to defend Planned Parenthood others are shocked that Trump would defend his sister's support for partial-birth abortions by falsely maligning a pro-life Supreme Court Justice who went to great lengths to be on record opposing abortion."

“The government’s gonna pay for it. But we’re going to save so much money on the other side.But for the most it’s going to be a private plan and people are going to be able to go out and negotiate great plans with lots of different competition with lots of competitors with great companies and they can have their doctors, they can have plans, they can have everything.”


Is this intended to be indicative of Trump’s vaunted “brilliance?” He has yet to explain how it’s a “private plan” when the government pays for it.

Or the other night when his thought train derailed and he said he gets audited every year because he is Christian...

That one blew me away.

A bright middle schooler would know how dumb that is.

It'd be "bigly" dumb! ;-)

His sister was appointed by Reagan.

If you have a problem with her, bash him.

I keep seeing Trump supporters making this pathetic argument. Yes, Reagan appointed her to the District court - the lowest level of federal court, well before she had any kind of record as a judge to evaluate. It was Clinton that appointed her to the Circuit Court after it was clear that she was just the kind of liberal judge he was looking for.

Sorry, but there is video evidence of Trump advocating for the US to go into Libya and overthrow Khadaffi. I’ll take the video evidence over your little tweet tantrum any day. Trump was the one who lied about this, and the evidence is not only in his own words, but in his own voice.

It's because he hangs out with the 2 Corinthians!

No Cruz didn’t say that Trump is for single payer for everyone. He was quoting Donald’s words which were clearly written out for you.

The uninsured have been covered for decades if they were under a certain income. Donald didn’t include that in his statement in September, and said the opposite. EVERYONE would be taken care of, and the government would pay for it. Then he added that somehow, magically, his private plan will be so beautiful that people will mostly be on that even if they will get something free from the government.

“Is this intended to be indicative of Trump’s vaunted “brilliance?” He has yet to explain how it’s a “private plan” when the government pays for it.”

What is Cruz’s plan? How does it differ from Trump’s, especially with respect to the VA, Medicare and medicaid?

I didn’t see it on his website.

But Cruz DIDN’T SAY that Reagan originally appointed her. Omitting that creates the lie of omission Ted is deliberately telling. Ted has to omit that to make the point she, and by association Trump are flaming liberals. If Ted mentioned the fact Reagan originally appointed her the idea she and Trump are flaming liberals can’t be made.

That is how lies of omission work. I can’t believe I have to explain it in this amount of detail.

When you watch Ted does that all the time, and so do many here on FR.

Lie of omission;

“Also known as a continuing misrepresentation, a lie by omission occurs when an important fact is left out in order to foster a misconception. Lying by omission includes failures to correct pre-existing misconceptions.”

The poster brought up Trump’s sister, so I brought up Cruz’s wife. One doesn’t get to choose their sister, they do get to choose their wife.

Too funny. You get all jacked up over semantics & continue to act like Trump is all for the very Obamacare he is determined to end & replace with PRIVATE insurance AND the gov’t will pay for the indigent population’s health care despite the facts the clearly contradict your assertions.

These lies of omission are why Trump’s numbers keep going up & the candidates who try to push them are losing their home states & beyond.

Have a happy Super Tuesday :)

It’s not that hard to figure out, because he has been consistent in his views. Repeal Obamacare, open up competition in private healthcare. But he’s not promise health care for all with no income restrictions like Donald.

Well to be accurate Trump’s sister Maryann Barry spoke on behalf of Justice Alito at his confirmation hearings.

When and where did Trump say that he would include income restrictions on his government plan? When did he say indigent? He clearly said “everybody.” That’s not a semantic difference.

Trump brought up Trump's sister. And lied, flat out lied. about Alito.

The only way it's not a lie is if Trump is confused about the meaning of concur and dissent.

Which is it?
