If Obama had said this he'd been skewered on FR.
Why does Trump get a pass?
What would be nice is if we could sweep up all these hit pieces into one location.
They are polluting FreeRepublic.
Every establishment hack and wannabe hack are going to the ends of the earth to find the lynch pin that brings Trump down.
What would be facinating, would be some charts showing the production metrics of the establishment hit piece factory.
National Review, American Thinker, RedState, Foxnews, etc.. are all part of the RNC conglomerate. Hell, even Brent Bozel’s MRC has gone to the dark side.
I don’t find the articles or the content worthy of discussion so much as the mechanics of the political machine.
His sister spoke in behalf of Sam Alito at his confirmation hearing Up to that point their records were identicle. The case you speak of was decided by an identicle case from Nebraska by the SCOTUS and they had no choice but to follow that decision.
Stop spreading Cruzs lies
We saw this when CRUZ questioned him about jis NEW Yawk Values, He wrapped himself in the 9/11 flag.
My wife told me that. You know who my wife is? Morgan Fairchild. That's right. My wife... Morgan Fairchild.
Paul Strokenoff from Powerline is a clueless GOPe lackey.
Paul Mirengoff is an anti-Trump DC beltway insider who makes liberal and uncritical use of National Review Trump-hater, and pseudo-intellectual, Ramesh Ponnuru’s hit-piece on Trump’s sister, Federal Circuit Court Judge Marianne Barry. Ponnuru has purposely misinterpreted Judge Barry’s opinion in Planned Parenthood of Central New Jersey v. Farmer, as well as then-Circuit Judge Samuel Alito’s concurrence.
Both judges agreed on the result as they were constrained by US Supreme Court precedent. However, their only difference was in how to arrive at the the result: Alito favored a strict and un-detailed reliance on Stenberg v. Carhart. Barry’s unanimous opinion, in which Alito concurred, went much further, providing a detailed analysis of precisely why the New Jersey statue, which sought to outlaw partial-birth abortion, did not pass constitutional muster. (It was, unfortunately, a sloppy cut-and-paste job - as lazy legislators are often wont to do - of a Nebraska statute that was also struck down. Rather than going the extra mile by consulting constitutional experts in writing the New Jersey law, the elected Jersey boys in Trenton took a fatal shortcut. Too bad; with more effort it is most likely the courts would have upheld that law).
Pro-life legislators now have an explicit blueprint for crafting legislation that would actually pass constitutional muster, thanks to Donald Trump’s sister, Federal Circuit Court Judge Marianne Trump Barry.
Both Meringoff and Ponnuru are GOPe belway elitists who will twist any issue and defame any person to protect their DC power club, even to the extent of purposely using the issue of life to do so.
Alito wrote separately to state that he believed that the whole majority opinion was “never necessary and is now obsolete.” 220 F.3d at 152. He would have preferred that the court simply hold that the New Jersey statute was unconstitutional because it did not contain an exception for situations in which the health of the mother was endangered as required by the Supreme Court in Stenberg v. Carhart and because the statute would have applied to more than just intact dilation and extraction.
