On September 29, 2020, The Federalist<\/a> posted an article remembering some of the activities surrounding the Supreme Court nomination of Robert Bork.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Mary Ellen Bork, the widow to the late federal Judge Robert Bork, wrote<\/a> a response to an article in the Wall Street Journal reminding readers of Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden\u2019s role in her husband\u2019s failed confirmation to the Supreme Court.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cMost people don\u2019t remember the hearings on Robert Bork for nomination to the Supreme Court, but I do,\u201d she wrote. \u201cThe week of hearings in 1987 showed me Joe Biden\u2019s partisanship and pragmatism.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

…The original article in the Wall Street Journal states<\/a>, \u201cThis began the modern era of hyper-politicized judicial nominations, though for the Supreme Court it has largely been a one-way partisan street.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to the widow, the \u201cDemocrats flagrantly lied about Bob\u2019s record of opinions,\u201d just days after Biden dropped out of the presidential race due to plagiarism.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIn the course of one week Sen. Biden orchestrated a vicious lying assault and was caught passing off someone else\u2019s words as his own,\u201d she said. \u201cThirty-three years later he is still a man without a compass, guided now by prevailing progressive winds.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Be prepared for a rerun of the Democrat’s activities surrounding that nomination.<\/p>\n

Breitbart<\/a> is reporting the following today:<\/p>\n

Senator Chris Coons (D-DL) said on this week\u2019s broadcast of \u201cFox News Sunday\u201d that Supreme Court nominee Judge Amy Coney Barrett\u2019s positions were \u201cdisqualifying\u201d for the post she was seeking.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Coons said, \u201cWell, I\u2019m going to be laying out the ways in which Judge Barrett\u2019s views, her views on reaching back and reconsidering and overturning long-settled precedent are not just extreme, they are disqualifying.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

He continued, \u201cShe has taught at a well-regarded law school. She clerked for Justice Scalia, but she has views that make her not qualified to serve on the Supreme Court. President Trump has said he would only nominate someone who would overturn the Affordable Care Act, taking away health care protection for more than 100 million Americans in the middle of a pandemic. Both President Trump and members of the majority on this committee have said they would only vote for a nominee who would overturn Roe vs. Wade.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

I would like to refer back to an article<\/a> at rightwinggranny posted on September 27.<\/p>\n

I stated the following:<\/p>\n

There are a few things that should be noted about the upcoming confirmation hearings. Amy Coney Barrett was nominated to the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals on May 8, 2017, and confirmed on October 31, 2017, by a 55 to 43 vote. Three Democrats voted with the Republicans\u2013Virginia Senator Tim Kaine, West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin, and Indiana Senator Joe Donnelly. That was less than three years ago. She has been vetted.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is going to be very ugly, and there will be a lot of lies told by those who oppose this nomination. The lady is extremely qualified and should be confirmed. However, the Democrats will do anything to prevent that from happening. That is a shame, but that is where we are.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
