Senate Judiciary Committee Statement Suggests Ford's Legal Team Could Be In Trouble | Daily Wire

Senate Judiciary Committee Statement Suggests Ford's Legal Team Could Be In Trouble | Daily Wire:

A statement issued on Tuesday by the Senate Judiciary Committee suggests that Christine Blasey Ford's legal team may have violated the ABA’s Model Rules of Professional Conduct by apparently withholding key information from their client.
During the explosive hearing on Thursday, Ford made clear that she did not know that the Senate Judiciary Committee had repeatedly offered to come to her for her testimony and to hear that testimony privately if she preferred.

Mussolini’s Description of Fascism Sounds a Lot Like Antifa | Intellectual Takeout

Mussolini’s Description of Fascism Sounds a Lot Like Antifa | Intellectual Takeout
"One of the fascinating things about the chaotic culture on America’s college campuses is the unlikely bedfellows it is producing. 
Particularly striking are the liberal professors who are speaking out against students agitating for the adoption of illiberal policies, such as political censorship and safe spaces, which curtail free speech...

This reference to the Holocaust is ironic since many on college campuses label themselves Antifa in an attempt to demonstrate opposition to the fascists which permeated the Nazis and their allies in the 1940s.

...consider how one of the leading fascists of the World War II-era, Benito Mussolini, described the fascist mentality. 
He said:

“Everything I have said and done in these last years is relativism by intuition. If relativism signifies contempt for fixed categories and those who claim to be the bearers of objective immortal truth … then there is nothing more relativistic than Fascist attitudes and activity... From the fact that all ideologies are of equal value, that all ideologies are mere fictions, the modern relativist infers that everybody has the right to create for himself his own ideology and to attempt to enforce it with all the energy of which he is capable.”

That description sounds an awful lot like the mentality which permeates today’s campuses and is driving both conservative and liberal professors away. Which should lead us to wonder: 

Is the modern Antifa fight against fascism actually fighting for fascism without realizing it?"

"Corroboration"---Michael Smith-New York Times reporter, Megan Twohey, defining what corroboration means to the Times.

Fans of Best of the Web Today

Michael Smith 

"Thursday night I wrote a post about something I saw on one of the shows on MSNBC. 

It was about a New York Times reporter, Megan Twohey, defining what corroboration means to the Times. 

Here's that exchange:

TWOHEY: You know, I think just back to the issue of accountability and how things are framed, how Trump frames them, how other people are framing them in the context of the allegations against Kavanaugh, specifically the Blasey Ford, allegation against her, you kept hearing today that there`s no corroboration, there`s no corroboration, and as a reporter who`s done a lot of coverage of allegations of sexual misconduct, I can say that when it comes to putting these allegations in the paper, there were a lot of things that corroborated her story. There were, you know, the people who – the parties say they don`t remember that, but, you know, they don`t remember the party [...]

HAYES: Right.

TWOHEY: [...] that many years ago. But, you know, in her testimony, in her account to The Washington Post she has said that she told her therapist that there are medical records in – from 2012 or 2013, I can`t be sure, before Kavanaugh was even nominated, in which she sort of stepped forward and said this happened to me.

There are many people that she`s told. 
As I understand it, the FBI didn't even accept those medical records.

Notice that Twohey affirmatively states: "there were a lot of things that corroborated her story."

What was Twohey's evidence of corroboration?

First, Twohey establishes herself as an authority - "...as a reporter who`s done a lot of coverage of allegations of sexual misconduct, I can say that when it comes to putting these allegations in the paper, there were a lot of things that corroborated her story."

That is a logical fallacy called "Appeal to Authority" that states a thing is true simply because it is offered by someone in a position of authority - but just reporting on incidents of sexual assault does not make you an arbiter of truth.

• Next, she states that there were people at the party - even though "they don`t remember the party that many years ago."
• Next, Blasey Ford said "...said that she told her therapist that there are medical records in – from 2012 or 2013." 
• OK, so she said she told her therapist about something she things she remembered from 30 years in the past.
• Next, the reporter cites the therapist's records that back it all up but laments "the FBI didn't even accept those medical records." Well, the Senate Judiciary demanded those records be turned over three times and Ford's lawyers refused - and even if they had been turned over, all those would represent are Ford's own words - the therapist had no knowledge of the supposed event.
• Next, we get that "There are many people that she`s told." So she told many people - but Blasey Ford herself said that she only told her therapist and her husband before she decided to send a letter to her state representative, Anna Eshoo this year - 36 years after the alleged incident and the number of people she told has no bearing on whether what she told them is the truth. A lie doesn't become true if you just tell it to a lot of people.

But when you really strip this down, this all of this "corroboration" goes back to one point - Blasey Ford herself. 
This is a NYT reporter was basing her judgement of corroboration on two things: 

• 1) the reporter's belief that she is an authority in such matters and 
• 2) the accuser telling people about her accusation.

cor·rob·o·ra·tion

• [kəˌräbəˈrāSH(ə)n]
  NOUN

  1. evidence which confirms or supports a statement, theory, or finding; confirmation.

     "there is no independent corroboration for this"

Far from "there were a lot of things that corroborated her story", there was nothing that did. 

No people remembered the party, there was nothing here save the claims of one person based on her own words. 

Since corroboration requires at least one other source independent of the accuser, one cannot corroborate themselves..."

Blasey Ford's Camp Tampered with Witnesses! - The Rush Limbaugh Show:

Monica McLean, a former FBI agent and former friend of Blasey Ford, and it was at McLean’s house in Delaware where Blasey Ford wrote the letter to Feinstein! Did you know that? Yes! Blasey Ford was in Delaware with Monica McLean, and some are suggesting (I don’t know if it’s true) that actually Monica McLean might have written the letter. But at least that there was a collaboration, the letter that was sent to Feinstein. You would think this story would be all over the place.

This explains much!-----Rush Limbaugh: Democrats afflicted by mental problem

Rush Limbaugh: Democrats afflicted by mental problem
"Rush Limbaugh on Tuesday explained why the left creates movements like Black Lives Matter and #MeToo, and why they attack Supreme Court nominees like Brett Kavanaugh.
It’s because they have failed, and they insist on blaming someone else, he said.
In short, they have a mental problem.
“When you become a member of a victim group, you are admitting that you are a failure.
But you are admitting it isn’t your fault! 
It’s society’s at large or the cops or capitalism or religion or something.
When you become a victim, you are then signaling that you are owed. 
People need to give you something for all of the mistreatment that you have suffered,” Limbaugh told his listeners.
He quoted two other commentaries to support his statement.
One was from Jim Geraghty at National Review, who found, “The more time I spend covering politics, the more I’m convinced that a significant chunk of grassroots political activists aren’t really arguing about politics at all. 
These folks are actually grappling with personal psychological issues and projecting it onto the world of politics.

• Every problem they had with a parent is projected onto authority figures.”

Geraghty continued:

• “Every religious person who ever scolded them or made them feel guilty becomes the embodiment of organized religion and demonstrates its menace. 
• Because they’ve had a bad experience with a member of a minority group, that experience reveals something sinister about every member of that minority group. 
• The cop who wrote them a ticket instead of giving them a warning demonstrates the danger and corruption of law enforcement,” and can lead to Black Lives Matter..."

• The Autonomous Student Network posted emails, phone numbers, and jobs held by the protesters.
• UT-Austin is examining the incident "for potential criminal violations."

Communism sympathizers at the University of Texas-Austin posted on Wednesday the phone numbers, emails, jobs, and other information linked to members of the (YCT) Young Conservatives of Texas at the University of Texas-Austin, who demonstrated in support of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

Ginsburg Forgets 14th Amendment, Audience Has To Give Her Constitution | Daily Wire
"Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg forgot the contents of the 14th Amendment while speaking to the National Woman's Party in late August and needed an audience member to give her a copy of the Constitution so she could remember what it said.
The incident happened on August 26, 2018, when Ginsburg was asked to talk about the Equal Rights Amendment while addressing the audience at the Belmont-Paul Women's Equality National Monument.
..."But as you mentioned, as both a litigator and in your time on the court, you've actually built precedent in that area," Morrison continued. "So could you explain why you believe that the ERA is still as needed today as it ever was?"
Ginsburg, 85, began fumbling for her purse — which an aide then brought to her — as she then searched for a copy of the Constitution that she supposedly carries with her.
She couldn't find it.

Then a member of the audience offered up their pocket-sized Constitution for Ginsburg so she could talk about what she claimed was "a problem with the 14th Amendment."

U.N. court, laughably, orders U.S. to dump sanctions - Washington Times:

You had me at the headline.
“U.S. ordered to lift some Iran sanctions by International Court of Justice,” blared NBC News, above its Associated Press story.
Ordered is a pretty funny word, given U.S. National Security Adviser John Bolton’s recent takedown of another global judicial body, just last month.
Bolton, in fiery September remarks in Washington, D.C. — delivered first in the context of discussing the International Criminal Court’s attempt to investigate U.S. military members for war crimes in Afghanistan, and second in the context of responding to this same court’s call to haul Israel in for human rights’ abuses against Palestinians —

"...These are two devastating tweets, and they are right on the money. 
Legitimizing and signing off on “the most despicable tactics ever,” is accepting unfounded and baseless claims against an innocent man and standing with Feinstein, Cory Booker, Kamala Harris — who is in a class by herself in mendacity and a number of other things. 

• But more importantly, Lisa Murkowski has voted to leave Kavanaugh “subject to claims of perjury and impeachment,” and then leaving the court tied.
• If he’s not confirmed, the court stays a 4-4 deadlock. 

The reason that matters is that if the court votes 4-4 on any case, then the decision prior to the court hearing, it is affirmed. 
Nothing changes. 

• And that means that the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals would be the highest ranking court that could make decisions regarding fundamental aspects of life in Alaska, her own home state. 

And to put the Ninth Circus Court of Appeals and a bunch of leftists in charge of those issues in her state? 
This is shooting herself in the foot, all to supposedly be in unison with the #MeToo movement. 

• So much so, that Sarah Palin is threatening to run against her in 2022 for Senator of Alaska! 

Please Lord, make that happen!

Kavanaugh Allegations Are Psychological Terrorism. It’s Time They End:

Whether you support or oppose this SCOTUS nomination, the tactics being used are more extreme even than during the Clarence Thomas hearings.
But as we know, they are nothing new, and Democrats will continue to use them until the American people scream “Enough!” — because they are effective. The real goal is psychological terrorism—that is, engaging in a scorched-earth effort to destroy the target, and in so doing intimidating anyone willing to enter public service, or even just support a public figure that does not parrot the politically correct line.

With release of this evidence, Republicans say, they have enough documentation to show that several abortion clinics and middleman procurement businesses may have violated federal law.

“It is just horrifying,” Rep. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., who leads the House’s investigation of the fetal tissue industry, told The Daily Signal. “They are putting a dollar value on these organs from these children—unborn children that have been aborted. It is just beyond belief.”...
