Liberal Supreme Court Nominee Push Backed by $50 Million from Soros, Ford Foundation
Media Research Center ^ | February 22, 2016 | Alatheia Larsen

In the wake of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia's unfortunate death, several liberal groups -- including the media favorite, People for the American Way -- are pushing the Obama Administration to quickly nominate a like-minded justice. And the groups all have something in common.

Money.

Combined, Soros and the Ford Foundation (not connected to Ford Motor Company) gave at least $50 million, and possibly more, to organizations which hope to push the court further to the left through an Obama appointee.

Liberal media are pushing the same agenda by criticizing the GOP for wanting to delay a nomination. CBS and NBC blasted 'the Republican roadblock" that they claimed was an attempt to not "follow the Constitution" on Feb. 16. NBC also gushed that Democrats were "firing back" to support the "ironclad" Constitution.

On Feb. 17, 2016, The New York Times identified six of the liberal organizations behind the push to get an Obama nominee quickly confirmed

...

Since 2003, Soros gave $18,032,900 to People for the American Way, The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, and Alliance for Justice. The Ford Foundation gave an additional $28,907,564 to those same groups during the same time period.

Soros donated an additional $3,500,000 to the liberal American Bridge 21st Century and League of Conservation Voters PACs, which are also pushing for a speedy Obama nomination.

Not only do the groups have overlapping donors, their carefully crafted justice nomination rhetoric was also eerily similar.

For those of you who think there is a uniparty and that elections don’t matter, consider this article. It is essential to keep the Senate majority and win the Presidency and keep both form the hands of these liberals. THE APPOINTMENTS TO COME WILL DETERMINE THE DIRECTION OF THE COURT FOR THE NEXT GENERATION.

I think it means like-minded to Kagan and Sotomeyor.

Soros and his Nazi bastards are on a roll. Another Kagen or Sotomayor will mean the end of the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

To the extent the Republicans can delay Obama from announcing a candidate, they should do so.

After that, they should delay as long as possible a hearing for this candidate. While the delay is in progress, they should attempt as best as possible to collect as much dirt as possible on the candidate.

If they must bring the candidate up for a vote, they should only do so if they know the candidate will be voted down.

Rinse and repeat for the next candidate.

This is what happened with Bork. This is what should happen with Holder, Lynch, etc.

It always amazes me that these liberal groups seem to want to destroy America. They should know by now that this cannot end well.

I suspect that the Ford Foundation is linked to Henry the Once.

Soros said that his best year of his whole life was helping the NAZIs during WW2.

Ah those two great judges who I think do not even read the evidence or briefs and just base their decision on liberal lines.
Hell have they ever gone against fairy boy?
