Reminds me of this:

ETA: [ATTACH=CONFIG]28780[/ATTACH] to Drudge: ABC's Nightline Blasts 'Controversial' Nominee Before He’s Even Announced!
They later updated it
Still pushing the myth exposed by Nathanson years ago as a deliberate lie[1] although they're not claiming "millions" like Terry McAuliffe is
And another one where they simply put in another name to a pre-written generic rant (apparently thought it was gonna be Barrett since Kavanaugh is a "she")

Bernard Nathanson, co-founder in 1969 of the National Association for the Repeal of Abortion Laws (NARAL) and one time director of New York City’s Center for Reproductive and Sexual Health (who later found God and became a very vocal Pro-Life supporter) exposed how the pro-abortion movement deliberately fabricated statistics concerning the number of deaths linked to illegal abortions in order to garner support for legalizing abortion. He confessed that he and his fellow travelers constantly fed the media the lie that 10,000 women a year died as a result of botched illegal abortion when in fact it was but a tiny fraction of that (in 1972, the year prior to Roe v. Wade, 28 deaths were reported from illegal abortions). The MSM dutifully and uncritically regurgitated these numbers.

I'll wait for backup in 5,4,3,2,1.....
I have no doubt they'll attempt to do so. Gotta love the Democrats' hypocritical labeling of Republicans as "The party of no" when the shoe's on the other foot.

Originally posted by JimL View PostNot a winner yet, only been nominated. I think Trump nominated him because Kavanaugh doesn't believe that a President should be subject to investigation or to be criminally indicted while in office. In other words, as usual, it's all about Trump. Anyway, Kavanaugh apparently has a long paper trail and Democrats will now use that to drag this confirmation process on for a long time, possibly right on up to election time. Not a done deal!
Yeah, the disconnect on presidential investigations is an issue - but frankly, it rankles me more than it will the majority of folks. And I'm not all that rankled.
There's no way in heck for the Democrats to actually drag this out - they killed that process themselves when they did away with the filibuster. I expect Kavanaugh will be confirmed easily enough - and if not, Barrett will be next year. 'Dragging it out' is a very bad idea politically right now - too many Democrat seats are vulnerable. Even some that aren't may go with Kavanaugh (Jones is an idiot if he votes against)."He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot

Originally posted by JimL View PostOf course he chose wisely, wisely when it comes to protecting himself from prosecution.
He also chose a true conservative, but so what, they were all true conservatives thoroughly vetted by the Federalist society and you would be all elated and saying that he chose wisely no matter which one he picked.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Originally posted by oxmixmudd View PostNo real opinion on the man himself, mainly because I've not looked into where he is on the issues. If he believes the president of the US is above the law, that is a BIG problem. We don't need someone that will pander to DT but rather who will interpret the constitution intelligently and faithfully, not with an eye towards creating precedent in favor of personal opinion or some specific ideology. We need some common sense on the court, we don't need it continuing to the left of left. That said, we do not need Trumpish White nationalist party ism ... err 'conservatism' either. Of the two (left of left, DT pandering), I would say Trumpish White Nationalism ... err 'conservatism' is in fact the worse of two evils.
However, it is hard when asked to chose between left leaning policies that amount to communism and tyranny and right leaning policies that tend toward white nationaliam and which curry favor with the neo-Nazis. There are not many good choices left out there.

Sheesh, you people must never look outside of the box you're in do you? Always need to be spoon fed. It's no wonder our democracy is at risk!
This close to an election the people should have a say. Do you remember the M. Garland case, OBP? It's you people who are the hypocrites. And don't give me the right wing talking point crap about that being a presidential election as opposed to the midterms, it was about the people having a say concerning who should be confirmed, not about who the president nominates.
