Illegitimate Supreme Court To Overturn Roe V Wade


The original vote affirming a woman's right to privacy in the matter of abortion was bipartisan. The vote to overturn will be 100 percent one-sided. With 3 of the justices voting to strip women of this fundamental right being donald tRump appointments.

7 Voted For
William O. Douglas (FDR D)
Thurgood Marshall (LBJ D)
Harry Blackmun (Nixon R)
William J. Brennan Jr. (Eisenhower R)
Warren Burger (Nixon R)
Lewis Powell Jr. (Nixon R)
Potter Stewart (Eisenhower R)

Two Voted Against
Byron White (JFK D)
William Rehnquist (Nixon R)

donald tRump Appointments
Neil Gorsuch (stolen seat).
Boofing Brett Kavanaugh (unfit to serve on the court).
Amy Barrett (stolen seat).

ALL three tRump appointed justiced lied under oath during their Congressional hearings, insisting that Roe was settled law, and therefore they would not overturn it.


And there is also the fact that donald tRump was an illegitimate president and should have appointed ZERO supreme court justices.

Supreme Court Perv, Boofing Brett, Onboard With Dotard Election Theft

Boofing Brett, the second perv elevated to the US Supreme Court, says Dotard should be allowed to steal the election. Brett, the judge who really likes beer and used to whip it out and shove it in the ladies' faces while in college, released an opinion in which he wrote that the counting should stop on election day.

Brett Kavanaugh Signals He's Open to Stealing the Election for Trump. 10/27/2020 Slate article by Mark Joseph Stern (excerpt).

Monday's order from the Supreme Court blocked a federal judge's order that had tweaked Wisconsin's voting laws in light of the pandemic. The judge directed election officials to count ballots that were postmarked by Election Day but received by Nov. 9, finding that the unprecedented demand for mail ballots combined with Postal Service delays could disenfranchise up to 100,000 voters. An appeals court blocked his decision on Oct. 8, and on Monday, SCOTUS kept it on hold by a 5–3 vote. The court offered no majority opinion, but Chief Justice John Roberts, Justice Neil Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh all wrote concurrences.

Kavanaugh's opinion is the most notable of the bunch because he is the new median justice and the opinion is frankly terrifying. In one passage, Kavanaugh attempted to defend the Wisconsin law disqualifying ballots received after Election Day. He pointed out that "most States" share this policy, explaining: "Those States want to avoid the chaos and suspicions of impropriety that can ensue if thousands of absentee ballots flow in after election day and potentially flip the results of an election".

It is genuinely alarming that the justice cast these aspersions on late-arriving ballots. In at least 18 states and the District of Columbia, election officials do count ballots that arrive after Election Day. And, in these states, there is no result to "flip" because there is no result to overturn until all valid ballots are counted. ...

...another, even more startling assertion in Kavanaugh's dissent [is his endorsement of] an argument that was too extreme for even the Bush v. Gore majority that decided the 2000 election, one that would give the Supreme Court the wholly new right to overrule state courts on their own election laws. In Bush v. Gore, three justices -- William Rehnquist... Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas -- tried to overturn the Florida Supreme Court's interpretation of the state's own election law. As a rule, state Supreme Courts get final say over the meaning of their own state laws.

... Yet Kavanaugh cited Rehnquist's concurrence as if it were precedent. As Rehnquist "persuasively explained in Bush v. Gore", Kavanaugh wrote, "the text of the Constitution requires federal courts to ensure that state courts do not rewrite state election laws".

The most pessimistic view is that Kavanaugh knows exactly what he’s doing: Laying the groundwork to reject enough ballots to hand Trump an unearned second term...

Most pessimistic view? How about the correct one. If the election ends up being decided by the Supreme Court (even though it should not), Boofing Brett is clearly in favor of ignoring the will of the people and installing Dotard.

Probably Amy is as well. When asked during her Senate testimony she refused to say she would recuse herself. Clearly Dotard believes she'd vote to award him the presidency, making him the second unelected president (who wasn't VP first, then elevated to the presidency when the potus died or resigned).

btw, if the election isn't stolen and Biden wins (big on election night, or after ALL the ballots are counted) Boofing Brett should definitely be impeached and removed for lying under oath.

Apparently Minus FJ Wants To Round Up All The H0mos & Throw Them In Prison

Now that Brett Kavanaugh is on the Supreme Court it is only a matter of time before the Right-wing Catholic majority starts rolling back rights. This is a prospect that makes Minus FJ, a homophobic trumper, very happy.

-FJ: Goodbye Roe. Goodbye Lawrence. :) (10/7/2018 at 12:13pm) WYD.

Note that Minus does not say the court is going to (first/only) get rid of Obergefell v. Hodges, which would be the 2015 Supreme Court case that made same sex marriage legal. No, he wants to overturn Lawrence v. Texas, which is a 2003 case that made "same-sex sexual activity legal in every US state and territory".

This would effectively criminalize being gay. Unless you're gay and chaste. Then you might be safe. Otherwise you could get arrested. Note that anti-sodomy laws apply to hetrosexual people as well. Given that both gay and straight people do it in other holes. But I'm sure Minus does not have (nor has he ever had) either an@l or oЯal sex. He only does it missionary with a woman. As God intended.

Although he cites another reason (not God) for wanting to bring back anti-sodomy laws.

-FJ: ...yes, I also oppose all forms of sodomy, too. STDs in the general population need to be kept to a minimum. No one has the right to spread STD recklessly. (10/8/2018 at 5:57pm) WYM.

So, after Lawrence is struck down (followed by Obergefell), I assume the authorities will start prosecuting and imprisoning gay people? Possibly along with some deviant straight people. But obviously gay people. Because, as per Warren E. Burger (quoting William Blackstone) "homosexual sex [is] an infamous crime against nature, worse than rape".

Burger was the Chief Justice when Bowers v. Hardwick was decided via a 5–4 ruling in 1986. The old White guy majority (plus one woman) agreed that "oЯal and an@l sex in private between consenting adults" could be criminalized via state law.

Conservapedia says Sir William Blackstone, in addition to authoring "extensive Commentaries on the Laws of England from 1765-1769... that were admired and used by America's Founding Fathers", was really, really, REALLY opposed to sodomy.

My opinion is that sex between consenting adults is nobody's business. Excepting the consenting adults, of course. Obviously Minus believes it IS his business. And he wants sex between consenting adults policed. Maybe tip lines will be set up and no-knock warrants issued if there is reason to believe you are engaging in sodomy.

Which could mean that the sodomy cops could bust down your door if they suspect you're engaging in "unnatural acts". Then haul you off to jail if they find evidence you are guilty of consensual sexual activity Minus doesn't approve of. The Wikipedia entry for Lawrence notes that "legal punishments for sodomy often included heavy fines, life prison sentences, or both".

If Minus wants Lawrence struck down, then he obviously wants such laws (and their accompanying punishments) to come back. Heavy fines and prison sentences for being gay and engaging in consensual sexual activity. Which is obviously nuts and not likely to happen.

Yes, I think Roe could be overturned. Which would mean that the abortion question would be kicked back to the states. And many Red states would impose even more restrictions. Making it virtually impossible to obtain an abortion if you are a woman residing in a Red state. Minus cites 20 weeks over and over, but lawmakers in Red states have passed all kinds of legislation to try and make it so a woman can't exercise her right to choose... period.

Even with a Conservative Catholic majority, I think Lawrence being overturned probably won't happen. How they are going to attack this, I think, is via the "religious liberty" canard. If you own a business that provides goods and/or services, the court will say you don't have to sell to, or provide services to gay people.

Will Brett and the other 4 Conservative justices strike down Obergefell v. Hodges and invalidate the marriages of every gay couple in the United States? Possibly. But I think it's more likely they will only say discrimination against gay people is great, so long as the reason for discriminating is the bigot's religion.

The Bible mentions slavery too. But the court isn't going to rule it's legal (again) for Right-wing racist business owners to discriminate against African Americans (even if Randall Paul thinks they should). So why is it OK to discriminate against gay people if you play the religion card?

Catholic author (and Islam hater) Andrew Bieszad (writing for the blog "The Conservative Papers") says "The LGBT Is Complicit In The Spread Of Horrible Diseases, Sodomy Laws Need To Come Back For Public Health". Sounds like an argument Minus would absolutely agree with.

"Sodomy is the act of masturbating by means of the place where another man has bowel movements", Bieszad writes. So it's only sodomy between two men that bothers these religious nutters. Given that the place where a woman has bowel movements obviously doesn't count. As the bigot who authored the majority opinion in Bowers v. Hardwick (Justice Byron White) wrote, the Constitution does not grant "a fundamental right to engage in homosexual sodomy".

So, is it just "homosexual sodomy" or all "all forms of sodomy" that you oppose, Minus? I ask because it seems that your fellow bigots don't care when a man boinks a woman in the butt. It's only sex between two consenting men that grosses them out. Either way, clearly Minus thinks anti-sodomy laws "need to come back for public health" reasons. Which I would say is idiotic, given that STDs can be (and are) spread by men and women having vaginal sex without protection.

According to Minus, he lives by the motto meden agan or "nothing in excess". Yet he supports going excessively farther Right than even the Conservative Catholics on the court are likely to go. Which would make Minus a Moderate? As Minus likes to frequently type (VERY frequently)... LOL.

Additional Information
Andrew Bieszad is actually a "critic" of Islam who opposes "Islamo-correctness". Also an Islamic Studies scholar with a specialty in Christian-Muslim relations. Although (in the Bieszad article I quote above) he bashes gay people and justifies it via Christian-Conservative-based homophobia. (See How a critic of Islam ended up in the check-out aisle by Barbara Kay. The National Post, 8/7/2013).

GeeeZ Columbus Day (And SCOTUS) Stupidity

So, I navigated over to the trumper blog Geeez (by way of the sidebar of the trumper blog Who's Your Daddy) and noticed the following clueless post concerning "hate" and Columbus day.

Melania... Columbus Day... I am SICK of the HATE.
Posted on October 8, 2018 by geeez2014

Now Melania is being insulted for what she wore in Africa, particularly the pith helmet, because "that's what colonialists wore".

The truth is if it weren't for colonialists, Africa would be a bigger hell hole than it is now. India, too, by the way.

I am getting so very tired of the constant hate, yet there's little we can do about it.

That's all I have to say today... tired of the hate. Sorry for Kavanaugh and his family and the hate which will never stop toward them, sorry for teachers teaching American kids to hate Columbus by telling them they have to call today (Columbus Day), "INDIGENOUS PEOPLES DAY"... which began as a counter-celebration held on the same day as the U.S. federal holiday of Columbus Day, which honors European explorer Christopher Columbus, who represents "the violent history of the colonization in the Western Hemisphere" to many".

MANY? WHO but Anti-Fa and BLM and LA RAZA? Who the heck CARES what they think? They say Columbus was a racist... was someone recording?

Was someone recording? YES, many people were recording. Via the written word. How does this idiot think we know that Columbus existed in the first place? I pointed this out with a comment, but after I clicked "publish", my comment went away and I got no confirmation. I'm guessing I was blocked. trumpers don't like having their echo chambers disrupted. Especially by anyone citing facts.

I included in my comment the following quote from Chris Columbus's own journal.

"They would make fine servants. ... With fifty men we could subjugate them all and make them do whatever we want. ... As soon as I arrived in the Indies, on the first Island which I found, I took some of the natives by force in order that they might learn..." (source).

And that is just what Columbus did. Enslave the occupants of the island of Hispaniola. As per Wikipedia "The 29,418 square mile island is divided between two separate, sovereign nations: the Spanish-speaking Dominican Republic... to the east, and French Creole-speaking Haiti... to the west".

When Columbus arrived on 12/25/1492, the island was inhabited by the "Taíno, one of the indigenous Arawak peoples". 2 million Tainos populated Hispaniola and Cuba, but warfare, harsh enslavement and diseases brought by the colonists wiped them out. Literally. The Taíno people "were considered extinct by the end of the century".

Bartolomé de las Casas, another individual (who was there) recorded what happened. American Heritage, an organization "dedicated to improving historical and civic literacy", says Barto is "without question the greatest single source of our knowledge" (re the history of Columbus in Hispaniola).

[Barto's] father went with Columbus on the second voyage in 1493 and was among the first colonists on the island of Haiti, which the Spaniards called La Isla Espanola (Spanish Island). Young Las Casas joined the colony in 1502 and for a time led the life of a landholder in this first Spanish settlement in the New World. But his sensitive mind and heart were sickened by the cruel oppression of the natives. He took the vows of the Dominican order and resolved to devote the rest of his life to their cause, a resolve he never relinquished until the end of his life, at ninety-two (Columbus and Genocide by Edward T. Stone. October 1975).

Additionally, (again, as per American Heritage) Barto "had become well acquainted with Diego, Columbus' legitimate son and his successor as Admiral of the Indies [who] placed all of Columbus' papers at his disposal, including a copy of the Journal of the First Voyage".

So... I think that explains quite well where a majority of the information we possess today regarding Columbus comes from and who recorded it for posterity. "They say Columbus was a racist" Geeez writes. Geeeze obviously thinks "they" are full of shit. But "they" are not Anti-Fa, BLM and LA RAZA. "They" are historians who read about the atrocities committed by Columbus via his own journals. As well as the writings of Barto.

Spanish historian and Catholic priest Bartolome de las Casas, who witnessed much of the carnage, said Columbus ordered his men "to cut off the legs of children who ran from them (in order) to test the sharpness of their blades". Once, when a couple of them "met two Indian boys ... each carrying a parrot, they took the parrots and for fun beheaded the boys". ... In addition, people were "eaten (alive) [when] 20 hunting dogs ... were turned loose and immediately tore the Indians apart". If his crew began running out of meat for their vicious dogs, "Arawak babies were killed for dog food". (Celebrating a man who raped and tortured his way into history by Michael Coard, 10/8/2012).

To treat the Taíno as though they were less than human? I think that definitely makes Columbus a racist. As well as an thoroughly evil man. You can see why the Right objects to the truth being told about him. He was a White guy who brought civilization to the new world. A hero that should be revered.

But it wasn't just the new world that the White man can be credited with "improving". Geeez says "if it weren't for colonialists, Africa would be a bigger hell hole than it is now". And "India too". A safe thing to assert, since we have no way of knowing how things would have worked out if the White man hadn't showed up and enslaved and/or killed most of the natives they encountered. Better, perhaps?

As for being "sick of the hate"... tRump, unlike Obama, has EARNED the hatred. When you hate you should respect love in return? Obama (in 2007) said "I don't want to pit Red America against Blue America, I want to be the President of the United States of America". With tRump, that was the entire game plan from the beginning (pander exclusively to the base).

Case in point is tRump's nomination of Brett Kavanaugh for the Supreme Court and him being rammed through by the GOP-controlled Congress. Whereas when Obama nominated the centrist jurist Merrick Garland (because Orrin Hatch said there was "no question" the GOP controlled Senate would confirm him), Mitch McConnell refused to hold a hearing.

Yet, not only did Mitch tell Barack "you will not fill this Supreme Court vacancy", he describes it as "one of his proudest moments". What an asshole. This kind of bullshit is supposed to make the other side NOT hate you?

In regards to that, I say (in agreement with Joe Conservative) #getbent. Especially when your side (as urged on by the Orange Turd) attempts to paint Christine Blasey Ford as a paid liar (or a #lyingwhore). Because supporters set up a GoFundMe to pay her security costs (without her consent). And where is the proof that this money was deposited into her bank account?

Now they are celebrating and laughing while also whining about how the "damage is immense" to poor Brett's life and career. For which they vow revenge. "What goes around comes around" according to Brett's own opening Senate hearing statement. During which the partisan hack pointed a finger at the "Clintons". A statement designed to convince us that he will be an impartial and fair jurist... NOT.

Soon Brett will be ruling on cases in which a 5-4 SCOTUS majority will be taking away rights. Minus, in a comment punctuated with a smiley face, says "Goodbye Roe. Goodbye Lawrence". These would be the cases that affirmed a women's right to privacy (re their health decisions and bodily autonomy) and struck down anti-sodomy laws. (Roe v. Wade and Lawrence v. Texas).

So here we have a trumper salivating over the prospect of taking away rights; and don't forget that tRump himself said Roe being overturned would "happen automatically". That a minority is hard at work trying to force the rest of us to live by their rules as defined by their religion is not going to earn you anything BUT anger and hate (their religion being Pseudo Christianity).

Although, that trumpers are "sick of the hate", is not something I'm buying. At least not in regards to all of them. Not the ones who are happy that they get to gloat and drink "libtard tears". Those people are probably mad that we dare fight back. They love it that tRump is imposing their will upon us, but think we shouldn't do anything but cry in response.

If you EMBRACE being called "deplorable", why shouldn't we (the majority of us who realize how terrible tRump is) hate you? Is that NOT an appropriate reaction when a deplorable tells you how much joy they derive from your pain?

The Alpha Male Minus Quest For True Love Impeded By So Many Lying Whores!

"Hello, my name is Farmer John" Minus said, using one of his many aliases. "That is an odd name" the woman replied. Then she looked at him closer, scrutinizing the man beside her. "I know you" the woman said finally. "You're the guy who grabbed my breasts in Shorty's Southside Tavern last week".

Minus thought. "Yes" he admitted, remembering. "That was I. When I see a pair of double-Ds I can't help but grab them", Minus said complementing the woman. The lady looked shocked, but Minus knew she was loving the attention. "You're a waitress there, aren't you?" Minus asked. "No" the woman replied nervously. "I was having a drink with some co-workers".

She and this unknown man were walking alone together through a local park just before dusk. When she first noticed the man, other people were around, so she wasn't that concerned. Now it was starting to get dark and those people turned down another path a while back. But the man continued to walk behind her. Then he was beside her. He smiled and introduced himself.

"You live near here?" Minus inquired. "No" the woman answered, feeling a little fearful. "My boyfriend is waiting for me at the entrance of the park" the woman added, hoping that would scare Minus off. "Interesting" Minus replied, not buying what the woman told him. "Maybe we could go back to your place for a quickie" Minus inquired. The vibe he was getting from this woman told him she wanted him desperately.

The woman's eyes got wide, then she took off running, fearful she was about to be raped. "What's wrong, honey?" Minus shouted at the fleeing woman. "Ridiculous" Minus scoffed. "It seems this stupid ho has uncharitably categorized my pass as a prelude to a sexual assault". Minus continued on his way.

A while later he reached the edge of the park. Passing through the gates, the woman he had encountered earlier suddenly jumped in front of him. She had what looked like a spray can in her hand. She started spraying, but Minus quickly grabbed her wrist and deflected the stream away from his eyes (where she was aiming).

"You trying to mace me, bitch?" Minus growled. But Minus wasn't angry; he was amused. Minus had a tight grip on the woman's wrist. She struggled but couldn't get away. Minus began to laugh. "A pretty young thing like you out alone at night is just asking to get raped" Minus informed the woman.

Gaile (the woman) started screaming. "Shut up, slut" Minus commanded. He pulled her to him and placed his hand over her mouth, muffling her screams. Gaile bit down. Minus yelled and let her go. Gaile attempted to run away, but Minus grabbed hold of her purse. The purse strap snapped and Gaile stumbled back. Her feet slipped out from under her and she landed on her back, hard.

Minus put his hand to his mouth and sucked the blood out of the bite. "Shit!", that hurts Minus complained. "I should call the cops and report this assault" Minus snarled. Galie got to her feet shakily and stumbled a bit. Then she bolted, disappearing into the darkness. "Hey, you forgot your purse" Minus said as he watched the fleeing woman vanish. "Dumb bitch".

Minus opened the woman's purse and found her driver's license. "Gaile Trotter. I know where you live, Gaile Trotter. I might have to stop by Gaile's place to return her purse" Minus decided. "Despite her assault, I am a gentleman. She's going to need her driver's license and credit cards. I surely wouldn't want her to go through the hassle of having to replace them".

A few days later Minus, behind the wheel of his jet black Camaro with flames painted on the side, drove past Gaile Trotter's house. A small bungalow located on a side street not far from the park where he had first encountered her. Minus parked on a side street and proceeded to watch from a location where he had a good view of Gaile's property.

Inside the house Gaile was fixing herself dinner. Thinking of her encounter with Minus, she checked the lock on her front door. It was secure. How stupid she was to have walked through the park right before dark, Gaile berated herself. She had, of course, done it many times before. Although before it was always during the daytime. It just so happened that her place of employment was a few blocks from Shorty's, and she liked to hang out there with work friends.

She was pretty scared after she got away from the stranger. Gaile jogged to the edge of the park, then attempted to call the police, but found that her cell phone battery was dead. Seeing the man approaching, Gaile ducked behind one of the stone pillars that made up the arch that was the entrance to the park.

Removing the mace from her purse, Gaile intended to spay her would-be assailant in the face, then make her getaway. But he grabbed her wrist, then stole her purse. Gaile reported the incident to the police and filed a report, but they took it for a purse snatching and not an attempted rape. After she admitted she'd been drinking and was a little tipsy, it seems they didn't take her seriously.

Minus watched the house for several days, driving by after work and staying until the sun went down. That is how he deduced that Gaile lived alone. He also, after charging it up, examined her cell phone. It was password protected, but Minus booted it into safe mode to bypass the 3rd party lock screen. There was an entry that read Mom and Dad (an out-of-state number), plus the names of numerous female friends (Minus guessed). But no male names.

"Is she a lesbian?" Minus pondered. Perhaps what she needed was to meet a real man. That would cure her of her lesbianism. Minus knew he was just the man, an Alpha Male. She'd be grateful once he returned her purse. Naturally she'd have to find a way to thank him. Minus had that effect on women, the misunderstanding in the park being a shocking exception to how such encounters usually went down.

Minus was used to women throwing themselves at him. Given how good-looking and successful he was. He'd picked up quite a few women in bars around the city. All he had to do was flash a huge wad of cash and the next thing he knew he was getting a BJ in the bathroom. Then he'd quickly dump them, not wanting to take up permanently with some tramp who'd blow a guy in the bathroom of some seedy bar. He lived by the same credo as Brett Kavanaugh. FFFFF, or Find them, Feel them, Finger them, F*ck them, Forget them.

But he had a feeling that, this time, with Gaile, things would be different. Likely she was used to only beta males, which is why a strong alpha like Minus threw her off. Gaile was probably fantasizing about him right now (and touching herself), just as he was fantasizing about her (and doing the same). Minus was convinced that she could be the one. The one who would finally convince him to settle down and start a family.

Plus she apparently owned her own home, suggesting she was financially independent. Minus saw an entry for her place of employment in the phone. An investment banking firm. That would work for Minus, as he was tired of whores who were primarily interested in him because he was well off. Yes, he decided -- he was definitely interested in seeing if he could make this thing with Gaile work.

WYD trumpers Predictably Attack Brett Kavanaugh Accuser, Christine Blasey Ford

"Let her say what she has to say. And let's see how it all comes out. But they've delayed it a week, and they have to get on with it" is what the predisent said in response to prompting from Sean Hannity. "You've been very accommodating" the ass-kissing toady said, agreeing with the Orange-skinned misogynist.

What Hannity and tRump were talking about was the accusations of attempted rape against SCOTUS nominee Brett Kavanaugh. That this nominee be rushed though the process is what the Right is stressing. Also the fact that Dr. Ford can't remember specific details. That is the tact Lisa of the trumper blog Who's Your Daddy employs. By posting comments she attributes to "Ken Sisco", whoever that is (I did a Google search on "selective memory has it's advantages" and "Ken Sisco" and got nothing).

SELECTIVE MEMORY HAS ITS ADVANTAGES.

If Dr. Ford could remember a specific date or year, Judge Kavanaugh might be able to show that he was nowhere near the incident described. When the fraudulent accusations were made in the Duke Lacrosse debacle, one of the three men accused, proved by a video that when the incident occurred, he was at an ATM machine a mile away. Same is true of location. (posted by Lisa to WYD on 9/20/2018 at 6:40am under the title "Same Story, Different Names").

First, to address the "selective memory" bit. The author is clearly implying he believes Dr. Ford is lying. However, that details of traumatic events like sexual assault can't remembered extraneous details is actually very common.

Jodi J. De Luca PhD, explains [that] "When a person is faced with a dangerous or threatening situation, their attention becomes narrowly focused on the danger at hand". ... So when survivors can't remember every aspect of the trauma later, that isn't the result of negligence or absent-mindedness—instead, certain aspects of the trauma simply weren't encoded into the survivor's memory because they were experiencing real and present danger.

"This can help explain why a survivor may recall vividly certain details of the trauma while being unable to recall other details of the event"... (Trauma Survivors Often Forget Important Details of Their Assaults. Here's Why. 1/17/2018 Greatist article by Alexis Dent).

As for what happened in the Duke Lacrosse case, Dr. Ford's accusations are not comparable. Crystal Gail Mangum, the accuser in that case, lied. Her story fell apart and those she accused were cleared of any wrongdoing. Christine Blasey Ford is telling the truth. The different name that could be subbed into this story is Anita Hill. Professor Anita Hill's story has never been disproven.

Another corollary between Ford and Hill is the coordinated Right-wing character assassination. Anita Hill was painted as "a little bit slutty, a little bit nutty". In regards to Ford, The Republican senator from Utah, Orrin Hatch, says she is "mixed up". Also "if that were true [the accusations], I think it would be hard for Senators not to consider who he is today". Nice. She's making it up. Although, if she isn't, it doesn't matter.

Clearly the plan is to steamroll Dr. Ford if she shows up. They want to keep this a "he said, she said" so it's Kavanaugh's word versus Dr. Ford's word. She's lying or mixed up. It doesn't matter anyway because it was so long ago. Also, they don't want the FBI to investigate because it would be pointless.

Liberal Hunter: Okay, so let's have an FBI investigation to satisfy The Accuser...

Where did this take place?
I don't know.

What day was this?
I don't know.

What month did this take place?
I don't know.

What year did this take place?
I don't know.

Okay genius, now tell me WTF are the FBI supposed to investigate? (9/20/2018 at 11:29am). Excerpted from a WYD comment.

Obviously this moron "Liberal Hunter" thinks the FBI would start the investigation, find that Dr. Ford couldn't remember certain details, then determine there was nothing for them to go on and therefore they couldn't proceed. Except they could find other people who had been there (by looking at student enrollment records) and question them. And likely find (via exhaustive legwork) at least a few other people who had been at the party and could remember those details.

Just because "Liberal Hunter" is too stupid to figure out how the FBI would proceed doesn't mean the FBI wouldn't be able to find other people to corroborate Dr. Ford's story. Or to not corroborate if (in the highly unlikely event) Kavanaugh is innocent and Dr. Ford is "mixed up" or lying.

They don't want the FBI to investigate for a reason. By "they" I mean the Orange Turd and all the Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee. As well as the subservient ass-kissing state media (Fox, etc) and (taking their cues from these sources) the brainwashed zombie Orange Turd cultists. People like the trumpers who comment on WYD.

The reason they don't want an investigation is because "only 2-8% of rapes are falsely reported, the same percentage as for other felonies". Their intention is to push through Brett Kavanaugh and get him on the Supreme Court, facts be damned! Brett needs to get to work ASAP protecting the wealthy and corporations. As well as taking away rights from minorities and women. Because imposing the will of a minority is more important than one woman getting sexually assaulted (that minority being pseudo Christian evilvangelicals and Ayn Rand types who believe the US should be ruled by an aristocracy).

"Ruth Bader Ginsburg came out that she was groped by Abraham Lincoln" Rep Ralph Norman (SC 5th district) joked recently. It's funny because RBG is an ugly old hag who should hurry up and die. That women are a threat to legitimate male power (as per FrancoThinke) is a "fact" that even Right-wing women (such as Lisa) agree with. The problem is feminazis and absolutely not toxic masculinity.

If Hillary Clinton had won the election and been inaugurated (she won but was not inaugurated) and President HRC nominated a man for the Supreme Court who was accused of sexual assault? You KNOW Republican hypocrites would absolutely believe the accuser and DEMAND an FBI investigation and hearings that were more than political theater.

Scratch that. The actual suggested course of action of Republicans prior to the election was that, if Hillary Clinton should win, they would deline to hold hearings to replace Antonin Scalia for HRC's ENTIRE 4 year term!
