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....

As I said in a different thread on Hillary threatening that the Republicans will back slavery:
Someone ought to remind Hillary and the other ‘back to slavery for Blacks’ liberals, that Judge Kavanaugh as one who is a strict constitutionalist knows about and would enforce the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments to the Constitution that ended slavery in the United States and granted former slaves full citizenship.
Thus he, based upon his belief in interpreting the constitution as written and amended would NOT approve of her scare tactic suggestions.
Even if he wanted to do that...he’d be one vote of 9. The other 8 would say no.
But of course he doesn’t want to do that...she’s trying to start a riot. It’s their only chance at victory.
“Lincoln freed the slaves. Obama enslaved the free.”
Well....not exactly. Obama wanted to confiscate our guns and yet he and Schumer and Feinstein failed miserably in that regard.
Clinton is dishonest. We know that.
But for the author to suggest that slavery in the United States was a southern-only problem ignores history. But this is the kind of writing that passes today for scholarship.
But what astounds me is that there are still people out there who will PAY her — significant sums, too, like $50,000 — to spew this DRIVEL!!!
It’s unbelievable!!
Did someone drop a sledge hammer on the infirm Hitlery’s head?
didn’t the infallible gods in black dresses one time uphold the institution of slavery?
so bad to put your faith in “man” and the supremacist court, Hitlery
Al “Jew them down” Sharpton said that he was going to undo desegregation and voting rights as well.
How he’s going to amend the constitution to repeal those amendments was not discussed. Details I guess
“Ah ain’t no wayze taaaaard!”
:^)
Hillary. That is just plain stupid. White people would fight to insure this never happened again. Where is your brain?
A very desperate angry woman. I’m glad she is miserable. She deserves so much more.
What is more amazing and revealing, that she would say such a lie or that there are people who would believe it?
Therapy is ineffective in treating personality disorders.
She doesn’t feel no ways tired, she told us so herself.

This might be a top-ten HRC cringeworthy moment.

That godawful fake accent is both insulting to blacks and embarrassing to whites. She wouldn’t even make it in an 1890s minstrel show.
I’m more worried about the fact that he’ll bring back the telegraph, myself.
Yes, we are going to have white liberal slaves. I can’t wait. I want a blonde one.
She says this all the while President Trump is freeing blacks from the Democrat Plantation. The overseer in chief, Obama, is gone. Chuck Schumer owns the plantation now, and its going downhill fast.
Billary, Inc. preaching fear to the sheeple as usual.
The Left/Progressive/Liberal line is always about spreading fear; fear this, fear that just don’t fear the lies we use to get you afraid.
