On Friday morning, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton suggested that President Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee, Judge Brett Kavanaugh, would bring back slavery if he is confirmed to the nation's highest court.
"Let me say a word about the nomination of Judge Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court," Clinton told the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) at its national convention. "This nomination holds out the threat of devastating consequences for workers rights, civil rights, LGBT rights, women’s rights — including those to make our own health decisions."
"It is a blatant attempt by this administration to shift the balance of the Court for decades and to reverse decades of progress," the former Democratic presidential nominee declared.
Then came the kicker: "I used to worry that they [the Republicans] wanted to turn the clock back to the 1950s. Now I worry they want to turn it back to the 1850s."
Clinton was clearly suggesting that Trump and Kavanaugh want to return to the days when slavery was legal in the South. The irony is, originalist Supreme Court justices like Kavanaugh would have agreed with Abraham Lincoln against the South, especially on the issue of slavery.
The American Civil War started in 1861, after a tense decade of increasing hostility between Southern Democrats who wanted to extend slavery beyond its boundaries as established by constitutional laws and Northern Republicans who saw slavery as evil and wanted to keep it within those limits. Republican Abraham Lincoln campaigned on restraining the evil institution, but an activist Supreme Court ruled that slavery could extend into the territories.
Ironically, another Republican president wants to restrain another activist Supreme Court, and Democrat Hillary Clinton is scaremongering....

And what is ‘’big man around here ‘’ thing? I never considered myself a ‘’big’’ anything.
I didn’t know Hillary Clinton was that far gone. She is getting worse by the day, a cartoon character, and not a normal person.
The four main authors of The Constitution were Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton. James Madison and John Adams.
Tell me genius, who did author the Constitution, according to your version of history. I’d like to know.
“I said ONE of the main authors.”
Is that what you say you said?
Where? Not posts 113, or 115, or 117.
May we see your data?
Tell me who wrote the Constitution asshole. Tell me your version of it because I’m getting tired of your shit. Put up or shut up.
“Where are you from? Were your ancestors Confederates? Did any of them own slaves?”
I don’t want to make this thread about me.
But if you must know, here’s what others have said about me:

“Tell me who wrote the Constitution *******. Tell me your version of it because I’m getting tired of your ****. Put up or shut up.”
Take a deep breath and relax. Calm down. We can discuss this further after you get yourself under control.
Don’t tell me to calm down. I’m not the moron here. I asked you to tell me who you think wrote the Constitution. Answer my question.
Thomas Jefferson lived in Paris from August 1784 to September 1789.
The Constitutional Convention took place in Philadelphia from May 25 to September 17, 1787. Jefferson, being in Paris, did not attend.
The basis of the Constitution is the Virginia Plan and its author was James Madison.
Jefferson was in Paris as Ambassador from August 1784 to September 1789 and wasn’t in the United States for the Constitutional Convention, which took place in 1787.
The Convention was the third of a series convened to solve issues between the states, beginning with the Mount Vernon Conference convened over a proposal to build a canal along the Potomac.
The Philadelphia Convention was called to revise The Articles of Confederation, but Madison and Edmund Randolph instead suggested the Virginia Plan which served as the basis of the Constitution. Washington presided over the convention. Hamilton was a delegate from New York.
John Adams, like Jefferson, did not participate in the Convention although both had been on the list of 70 men invited. Patrick Henry, Richard Henry Lee, John Hancock, Sam Adams likewise didn’t show.
On occasion jeffersondem suggested family & friends in the South, but so far as I've seen, nothing else to provide us a personal picture of "him" or even if he is "him".
He does have a vocabulary suggesting some education, but where?
And his approach to issues I'd call lawyerly, meaning always looking for an issue to exploit rather than, for example, what was the real truth of a matter?
In this particular exchange, we see jmacusa's review of the wickedness of Democrats, to which jeffersondem responds: No, no, Northerners were just as evil, if not more so because they chose Union over abolition in 1788 and then in 1861 Northerners went to war to save the Union, not end slavery, so you see, it was all Northerners' fault, says jeffersondem.
Indeed, jeffersondem even reduced the wickedness to a simple fraction:
So jeffersondem is very generously willing to allow a 4/13 (~31%) share of responsibility to the South, but the rest was all Northerners' fault, doncha' know?
And the proof of it is?
Of course, since jmacusa is a bit confused about Thomas Jefferson's role in the 1787 Constitution Convention, he's obviously wrong about pretty much everything, so 4/13 it is, all the rest is damnyankees fault!
I'd call that lawyerly, certainly not expressions of someone defending truth in history.
As for Hillary, who needs Democrats to oppose us when we have the likes of jeffersondem on our side?
The other question Mr jeffersondem refuses to answer is were his ancestors Confederates and slave owners.
“The other question Mr jeffersondem refuses to answer is were his ancestors Confederates and slave owners.”
If so, he would belong to a group that includes:
Hank Williams
Charlie Daniels
Roy Acuff
Clint Eastwood
Billy Graham
Pat Robertson
Jesse Helms
Mike Huckabee
Strom Thurmond
George Patton
George Marshall
Omar Bradley
Bull Halsey
Chesty Puller
John Lejuene
John McCain
Woodrow Wilson
and those who were actual Confederates:
President John Tyler
Richard Taylor, son of President Zachary Taylor
Thomas Jefferson Randolph, grandson of the President
John Augustine Washington III
James Barroll Washington
Bushrod Corbin Washington II
Dick Washington
John Augustine Washington IV
Not this planet...
Good grief. She actually said that?
I think you can add to that list both sides of B. Hussein Obama’s family tree.
Chesty Puller, USMC, owned slaves?
