I am also wondering how they’re going to attack Amy Coney Barrett. Paint her as a crazy? Demean and belittle her, ala Sarah Palin?

Methinks this whole Kavanaugh Round #2 is because Ruthie isn’t feeling as well as they’ve tried to portray. Time to remind everyone considering a SC justice position that they and their families will be put through HELL. Only lefties need apply for the position.

Also, the charge leads to the “weight of evidence” of the president’s inability to choose good nominees for SCOTUS.....or whatever.

Just another stone in the foundation of the premise that Trump is too incompetent to fill the duties of his office.

You don’t fell a tree with only one whack of the axe.

[Roccus]

leads to the weight...S/B...adds to the weight

Sorry

My ancestors were always running late. They came over on the Juneflower. ;o)

[conservatism_IS_compassion]

A caller meekly asked if there were any way around the New York Times v. Sullivan decision. Rush said he wished there were, but he didn’t think so. I have a much more optimistic take, and I messaged him thusly:

NYT v. Sullivan said that 1A denigrated the right of officials to sue for libel. SCALIA said that was WRONG.

What Scalia said was that the Bill of Rights was not enacted to change anything at all.

It was created NOT to change any right but to set in concrete the established rights of the people. That is explicitly the burden of Ninth Amendment.

And where 1A refers to “the” freedom . . . of the press it explicitly means that freedom of the press AS IT EXISTED IN 1787 cannot be changed.
BUT EXISTING FREEDOM OF THE PRESS DID NOT INCLUDE FREEDOM TO LIBEL (or to print pornography).

So altho the Warren Court asserted that the First Amendment required that officials and judges not be allowed to sue for libel, THAT COULD NOT BE TRUE.

To make the case they asserted, they would have had to refer back to PRECEDENTS PRIOR TO THE CONSTITUTION for their source. And that they did not do.

Other flaws in SULLIVAN include the fact that

• Major journalism is a cartel (the words, “Associated Press” alone should tell anyone that).

• That cartel has redefined the words “liberal” AND “objective” to mean “in perfect accord with the perspective of the journalism cartel.” The USAGE of those words is, per the cartel, strictly that journalists are never to be called “liberal,” and politicians are never called “objective.” Also, per the cartel, the definition and usage I have articulated must be denied. Even if no more plausibly than the claim that a pitcher didn’t intend to hit a batter with a pitch.

• Consequently “liberal” officials never get libeled - and “conservative” ones routinely do. Denigrating the rights of public officials to sue for libel is, in practice, denigrating the rights of CONSERVATIVE officials AND THIER ADHERENTS to vindicate their reputations BY ESTABLISHING FACTS in a court of law.

• This gives “liberals and objective journalists” the right not only to their own opinions, BUT TO THEIR OWN FACTS. And that is Political Correctness. The Warren Court never saw the open politically correct journalism which is now routine, and it is possible to believe that even Earl Warren would have balked at reifying THAT.

No one now disputes that MORRISON V. OLSON was wrongly decided. Yet absent Scalia’s classic dissent, MORRISON would have been unanimous.
In 1964 the SULLIVAN decision was unanimous. But then, the Warren Court didn’t have Antonin Scalia on the bench - and SULLIVAN is just as wrong as MORRISON is.

IMHO

Bonjour y'all! Laissez le bon Trump rouler!!!

Early ping today. I'm off to take SweetiePalm to the eye doctor.

Whack-a-mole? I'd rather Guac-a-mole.

The French think a Monte Cristo is a real croque, monsieur.

There was a gang that used to steal these things. I can appreciate that.

In with the ping.

Bunp!

Maybe after the wall gets built for the Democrat convention, someone will photo shop a picture of President Trump in front of it with the caption: “Nancy Pelosi, tear down this wall.”

[Deplorable American1776]

Hello all Happy Hump Day...

[Roccus]

Hey Rush!!

Even when Abe Rosenthal was rhe editor at the SLIMES, that rag was pushing its “FAKE NEWS”...case in point, “38 Witnesses”

[Carriage Hill]

The Slimes has been pushing FAKE NEWS since Walter Duranty’s LIES in 1931, about Stalin doing wonderful things for the Soviet farmers and peasants.

Duranty, one of the most famous correspondents of his day, won the prize for 13 articles written in 1931 analyzing the Soviet Union under Stalin.

[Carriage Hill]

Duranty won the Pulitzer Prize in 1932.

[Roccus]

I realize all that.

I was just referring to Rush’s mention of Rosenthal.

[Roccus]

I’ll bet money we could go back even farther than Duranty and find more fake news from the Times
