Op-ed: 
The Details of the Democrats Evil Plan Exposed 
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots on American Political Radio

"It's not her job to corroborate her story"
- Debra Katz, Christine Blasey Ford's attorney

As we all know things are not always what they seem to be on the surface. Such is the case with Dr. Christine Blasey Ford who at last Thursday's Senate Judiciary Committee hearing...who in the throws of what amounted to caffeine induced shakes, who with her hair constantly falling in her face, and who with a little girl squeaky voice whose tone she carefully modulated depending on which political side of the committee she was addressing...tried to paint herself as a victim of a 36-year old claimed sexual assault by Judge Brett Kavanaugh when the two were in high school.*

And so in a maliciously orchestrated scenario that was egged-on by the Democrats on the committee...Democrats who never asked her any direct questions per se but who one-by-one straight down the line heralded her supposed “bravery” for coming forward with her story...more like heralding her for coming forward with a lie.

But the thing is that Dr. Christine Blasey Ford was no sexual assault survivor of Brett Kavanaugh or possibly of anyone else...but if anything happened at all it probably was just a different teenage boy trying to get to “first” or “second base” as teenage boys have always done and will continue to do...I mean there was not even any clothing removed. Teenage drunkenness and misconduct has been twisted in Dr. Ford's own mind into attempted rape.

And this woman whom the Democrats have now anointed as the new spokeswoman and "face" for sexual abuse survivors everywhere put on one hell of a performance as Republicans treated her with kid gloves for fear of being labeled as both sexist and overbearing towards a woman who supposedly had gone through so much inner turmoil in order to keep a deep dark secret inside her until she alone felt it was the right time to come forward and do her “civic duty.”

Bravo...and the Oscar goes to Dr. Christine Blasey Ford for a performance of a lifetime but that's all it was...a performance...for it's important to remember that Dr. Ford herself stated that she was eventually able to escape before she was raped or worse but that the experience was very traumatic because she felt like she had “no control and was physically dominated.” That is a very liberal stance as it relates to feelings not to the actual physical act of rape itself which showed that neither she nor the Democrats were really interested in getting to the truth of what happened or didn't happen on the night in question. But it did give the Democrats a tool by which to manipulate a frail easily swayed individual into doing their bidding.

And manipulate Dr. Ford they did as she became the conduit by which the Democrats were able to both slander and defame a good man and hopefully stop Donald Trump from not only stacking the Supreme Court with conservative justices, but by which they could restart the now thanks to Trump stalled fundamental changing of America that Barack HUSSEIN Obama had set in motion. To read more on that please read my Right Side Patriots partner and friend Craig Andresen's article The Social Reengineering of Our Justice System.

But first let's start by looking at an all-important timeline and how that timeline was willfully ignored by the media.

Before Christine Blasey Ford got married in 2002 she says she told her husband about a sexual assault that supposedly happened when she was in high school but never told him who did it or the details of exactly what happened. Then in 2012, just as Barack HUSSEIN Obama began his final term in office, Dr. Ford and her husband went into couples therapy...with some claiming for issues relating to alcoholism...where she tells a therapist who shares her leftist anti-Trump political leanings about being sexuality assaulted at a party by someone she knew in high school, but like with her husband she never mentioned any name.

Flash forward to July 2016 when Donald Trump became the Republican nominee for president. And when he did so, much to the utter chagrin of liberals everywhere, Christine Blasey Ford was amongst those who feared that Trump would turn our country hard to the right by picking only pro-lifers if he was given the chance to nominate future Supreme Court justices. And he rightfully stroked those fears when in September 2016 then candidate Trump released his first list of those he would be considering as possible nominees to the High Court if elected. On that list was Neil Gorsuch...who did become the nominee on January 31, 2017 and who ultimately became the justice who would replace Justice Antonin Scalia who had passed away the year before.

Also on that original first list of possibilities of then candidate Trump was Steven Colloton of Iowa, Allison Eid of Colorado, Raymond Gruender of Missouri, Thomas Hardiman of Pennsylvania, Raymond Kethledge of Michigan, Joan Larsen of Michigan, Thomas Lee of Utah, William Pryor of Alabama, David Stras of Minnesota, Diane Sykes of Wisconsin and Don Willett of Texas.

Judge Brett Michael Kavanaugh, a staunch originalist and constitutionalist then sitting on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit...as you can see was not on then candidate Donald Trump's original 2016 list of possible SCOTUS nominees but was included on now President Trump's official November 17, 2017 list after The Heritage Foundation recommend his name be added. And Brett Kavanaugh's name only appeared on then retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy's replacement 'short list' on July 5, 2018, with his ultimately being announced as the nominee on July 9, 2018.

Now why is this particular timeline so important, because in her interview with the Washington Post, Dr. Christine Blasey Ford stated that she became upset back in September 2016 when she saw Brett Kavanaugh's name appearing on then candidate Trump's original list of possible SCOTUS nominees. But how can that be when Brett Kavanaugh's name was not on now President Trump's official nominee list until November 17, 2017...a full year after she said she saw it. Meaning if Dr. Ford can lie about something so easily but obviously not looked into, what else is she lying about...how about everything.

Falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus”...“False in one thing, false in everything.” - common law legal doctrine 
 
Remember, this is the very woman who could not name the exact date when said sexual assault occurred; whose house it was where the supposed assault took place; how she got to and home from said house; and who also admitted that she had been drinking...all that has been twisted by the media, the Democrats, and in Ford's own mind into attempted rape. And critical to remember is that this woman did not tell anyone the name of who assaulted her until 36 years later when a political opportunity arose for her to help stop Trump's nominee from being seated on the High Court...a nominee she and her fellow liberals knew would decidedly swing the court to the right for probably decades to come.

And that could not be allowed, and it was at this point that Christine Blasey Ford became but a useful tool to stop Donald Trump and his nominee at any cost. And it all started with a Democrat loyal therapist being able to take a memory of a long ago assault that might or might not have happened and manipulate that memory into a time sensitive weapon to be used against President Trump with an innocent man's life being thrown to the wolves in a media driven feeding frenzy of Dr. Ford's and the Democrats doing.

But how did key Democrats accomplish this feat? First let's remember that Democrats were not happy when Neil Gorsuch made it to the Supreme Court especially since Obama had nominated liberal leaning Merrick Garland after Antonin Scalia's death. Not happy that Trump was successful in stalling Garland's Senate confirmation vote until Obama's term in office ran out with said nomination now legally being cast aside, Democrats see Dr. Ford's accusation as their last ditch attempt to stall Kavanaugh's nomination until after the midterms in hopes of their retaking the Senate and then being able to throw out both Kavanaugh's nomination and any future nominations Trump would make.

As always it's all about politics...dirty D.C. swamp politics emanating primarily from the left side of the political aisle.

But what exactly would they need to do to now, at the so-called eleventh hour, to stop Brett Kavanaugh's nomination for it appeared Kavanaugh was poised to get the votes needed to take a seat on the High Court...simply they used the tried and true last minute tactic of fabricating a sex scandal because Democrats know that political sex scandals garner more outage and passion than just about anything else...just ask Billy-Boy Clinton about that.

And so their plan was set into motion...a plan dedicated to stopping Brett Kavanaugh from ever becoming a Supreme Court Justice. But to do so Democrats needed someone to come forward and claim that he had sexually assaulted them with the time frame of when it happened not really mattering, thus leaving the Democrats to start searching through their databases of their supporters and/or financial contributors to see if any had crossed paths with Kavanaugh. And they hit the mark with Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, a registered Democrat, a Hillary supporting pink pussycat hat wearing far left feminist who had also contributed to both the Obama and Hillary campaigns and to the DNC itself. And they also found out in their search that she had been in therapy back in 2012 where she told her therapist that she had been the victim of an unnamed assailant back when she was in high school in Maryland.

Ding, ding, ding...and the bells went off for the Democrats as Trump's nominee Brett Kavanaugh was also from Maryland, was about the same age as Dr. Ford and who by luck went to a 'sister' high school of his, and whose mother had ruled in a foreclosure case involved the Blasey family, which while she ruled in their favor still cost them a great deal of money to settle. And from there it was easy pickings to manipulate and possibly pay off an emotionally unstable woman...emotionally unstable no matter how many degrees she has...to a point where a previously unnamed assailant morphed in her mind into Trump's Republican nominee to the Supreme Court...one Brett Kavanaugh.

And Dianne Feinstein herself has her hands all over this what amounts to a witch hunt for besides her broken promise to keep Dr. Ford's infamous letter confidential, it was she who helped Dr. Ford secure her big shot D.C. lawyers. But doesn't that in itself seem odd as Dr. Ford's own two brothers are both respected attorney's in the Washington D.C. area...maybe they know the truth about their sister and were wise enough not to get involved...as maybe they know about her taking part in crackpot feminist and anti-Trump marches...and maybe they know that the rumors going around about their sister having “issues” as far back as childhood are true.

And so the woman who couldn't even remember also sending the New York Time a copy of the infamous letter that started the witch hunt just three short weeks ago, in reality did not come off at the hearing as someone credible in my eyes contrary to what many conservative talking heads are continuing to say if for no other reason than they're afraid of 'outing' a woman as a liar on national television... especially a woman who claims to be a sexual assault “survivor.” 

But the bottom line to me is this...then Christine 'Chrissy' Blasey was most definitely not...I repeat not...sexually assaulted by Brett Kavanaugh, and if any boy did assault her back then what happened was not rape but was at best teenage drunkenness and bad behavior. And really, Brett Kavanaugh has already gone through six thorough F.B.I. investigations over the years as he rose up through the ranks of our judicial system...including a critical investigation that allowed him to be privy to America's nuclear code...and now he must go through a seventh all because a lying woman with an agenda has been manipulated to do the Democrats bidding.

If Dr. Christine Blasey Ford is a victim of anything, she's a victim of her own twisted delusions and of being manipulated into becoming “the face” of a misplaced political agenda that will not serve her, our county, or true victims of real sexual assault well.

And let's not forget the yet to be mentioned future victims of Dr. Ford's lie and the Democrats witch hunt...our husbands, fathers, brothers, nephews, and sons as any woman or girl can now make up a story that can neither be proved or disproved all in an attempt to completely ruin those above stated lives. And while these misguided Democrat sorts thinks this empowers women, all it does is place guilt on the innocent before anything even happens.   

But most importantly of all right now, let it be known that Judge Brett Kavanaugh is no sexual predator and never was and to state otherwise is to dismiss the notion that the F.B.I. actually did its job when investigating him the first six times they did so. The only true victim here is the good judge whose career and reputation has been irrevocably harmed and his family forever hurt by the truly evil sorts who comprise today's Democrat party. Judge Brett Kavanaugh deserves his seat on the Supreme Court...it's now up to the Republicans to make sure he gets that seat for if they don't the midterm results just might not be to their or our liking.

Op-ed: 
The Attempt to Smear Kavanaugh Exposed... Addendum
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots on American Political Radio

A political circus of a dark and dank nature continues to draw an audience when that circus should really just pack up its tents and go home...and I'm speaking of the political circus known as Kavanaugh v. Dr. Christine Blasey Ford...a woman who I believe is nothing but a Democrat bought and paid for political whore.

In his article The Attempt to Smear Kavanaugh Exposed, my RIGHT SIDE PATRIOTS partner and friend Craig Andresen laid out why there actually is no case against Judge Kavanaugh by pulling apart his accuser's own words...words that give no tangible evidence whatsoever of a crime ever having been committed...a crime of attempted rape that supposedly happened 36 years ago.

Briefly, Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, sent a letter back in July to Rep. Dianne Feinstein (Ca-D) accusing now Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her back in high school. For 36 years not a peep out of this woman...for 36 years in all the background checks run on Brett Kavanaugh as he worked his way up the judicial ladder not one accusation of any such kind surfaced...but now as a vote was set to be taken on Kavanaugh's appointment to the Supreme Court a letter sent by Dr. Ford to Rep. Dianne Feinstein back in July is suddenly made public. And so the circus begins...send in the Democrat clowns.

And a circus it remains even though Dianne Feinstein herself recently stated in regards to Dr. Ford's accusations that, “I can't say that everything is truthful. I don't know." And if the woman who sat on this letter for months because she questioned its validity now is stating just that, one has to wonder what is really going on.

Well I can tell you what's going on...all the Trump-hating Democrats...and sadly some Republicans too...will say and do anything to stop the appointment of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the High Court just because he's Trump's nominee...and a conservative nominee at that. And while this eleventh hour accusation against the good judge is grandstanding at its very worst, in this country even a liar has the right to be heard but no one has the right to stall a Senate vote based upon their political agenda alone.

And such is the case with Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, an uber liberal, pink pussy hat wearing professor at one of California's bastions of higher indoctrination. And with her retaining known Democrat operative Debra Katz as her attorney and doing so even before all this became an unabashed three-ring circus...the left's cause and effect becomes perfectly clear...either stop Brett Kavanaugh's appointment in full now or if said appointment can't be stopped at least put off the vote until after the midterm elections.

Believing that such a delay would give Democrats time to “power-up” their base to get out and vote this November against both the party and a president who thinks that someone who (allegedly) assaults women should sit on the High Court is but part one of their so very convoluted thought process. And the second part...if they could stop Kavanaugh from being seated now the Democrat's figure they could then stop or at least stonewall any other Trump Supreme Court nominee until 2020 when hopefully one of their own would become president, thus turning the High Court back to the left.

Convoluted thinking indeed along with the fact that the Democrat hierarchy still believes that even if somehow Brett Kavanaugh was conformed that he would be rendered judicially impotent if seated... impotent enough to where all his oral and written arguments would be questioned thus tying up the High Court's decisions for months or maybe even for years, and that they would then get to blame President Trump for the now already right-leaning Supreme Court not doing its job in a timely manner. Just goes to show that for the Democrats even a loss can be twisted into a win...in their minds alone that is.

So while the Democrats are now using the “rape card” in a last ditch desperate attempt to block the Kavanaugh nomination...especially since the “race card” seems not to be usable in Kavanaugh's case...let me bring up but a few other scenarios the Democrats had hoped would work against Kavanaugh but didn't, and why in the end the Republicans will prevail with Brett Kavanaugh becoming the next Supreme Court justice.

When these allegations of a sexual assault by Judge Kavanaugh first surfaced and while the accuser still remained nameless, the Democrats had hoped that with Brett Kavanaugh being a good decent family man, a faithful husband, a father of two young girls, and a church going man as well, that he would withdraw his name from nomination if for no other reason than to spare his family the heartache and embarrassment of not just the accusation itself, but of the sure to come three-ring circus the media would have it become. 

But the Democrats never even entertained the possibility that Brett Kavanaugh was a man of true inner strength and conviction...a man who boldly stated on day one and has not wavered since that said accusation never happened and that he would fight this until both his integrity was restored and the allegation was exposed as the lie that it is.

And by his standing strong against such a grievous accusation, Brett Kavanaugh actually forced his accusers name into being made public whether it be by the Democrat's themselves or by a leaker. Just getting Christine Blasey Ford's name out in the public domain not only put a name and face to Kavanaugh's accuser, but it actually now gave Republicans the upper hand for one can successfully fight against a real person, one cannot successfully fight against someone who cowardly hides behind anonymity.

And with Kavanaugh's accuser being named, it is she who is now rightfully under the microscope so to speak, and what is seen of her life and her comings and goings should make people think twice about the motive behind sexual allegations being used to push forward a political agenda. Again, you can read about some of that in Craig's article The Attempt to Smear Kavanaugh Exposed, but here I will add to what he has written for new information has come forth about Christine Blesey Ford's possible motive in making such an unfounded untruthful accusation and it ain't pretty at all.

Besides Dr. Ford being an avowed liberal Democrat and vehemently anti-Trump, her apparent hatred for Brett Kavanaugh might have nothing to do with an attempted rape that never happened, but might have to do with a twisted revenge of sorts against his mother for putting her parents through what she perceived as monetary hell so to speak.

Briefly, Brett Kavanaugh's mother, then Maryland State Circuit Court Judge Martha Kavanaugh, was the judge in a 1996 property foreclosure case involving Ralph and Paula Blasey, Christine Blasey Ford's parents. And even though this foreclosure case occurred many years after the alleged incident with Brett Kavanaugh took place, and while other judges presided earlier in the foreclosure process, it was Kavanaugh's mother who issued the rulings that while allowing the Blasey's to keep their home did so via a very costly settlement/refinancing deal with the lender, United Mortgage & Loan Investment Corp. And while Judge Martha Kavanaugh did grant a voluntary motion to dismiss the case in January 1997, foreclosure proceedings are something that follows one regarding any future home or property purchases. The Blaseys sold their home in 2011 with some saying at a loss due to lawyers fees and refinancing costs of the foreclosure case.

And guess who first started making sexual accusations against Brett Kavanaugh to her therapist in 2012... Christine Blasey Ford. A wee bit too coincidental time wise if you ask me.

But the timeline itself could be somewhat telling for 2012 heralded in Obama's last term in office and assurances of a Democrat line of succession became paramount on the Democrats “to do” list. And so people were lined up, lists were made, background investigations were done, and stories were concocted to ruin any Republicans chance of regaining the White House in 2016. Never thinking that someone like Donald Trump would ever win the presidency, the Democrats were in meltdown mode until Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia's death when they saw a possibility of at least sidetracking the Trump presidency. And what better way to do so than to deny him the ability to turn the High Court to the right for possibly generations to come.

However, after having failed to stop Neil Gorsuch from being appointing to the bench, the Democrats turned their sights on now nominee Brett Kavanaugh, did their homework, went back through their files of sorts, and came up with Democrat activist Dr. Christine Blasey Ford who they discovered had made sexual accusations against the newest nominee to a therapist. Building on the unprovability of a decades old accusation...knowing well that “he said-she said” sexual allegations in today's “#MeToo” environment could possibly work in their favor leads us to where we are now.

He attacked me”...”he tried to rape me”...”I thought he was going to kill me”...all words out of the mouth of Christine Blasey Ford against a man who says he was not even there. A true “he said-she said” scenario but one whose purpose is to both ruin a good man's career and stonewall a president they feel stole an election from the woman whose presidency was to be Barack HUSSEIN Obama's third term in office.

What a mess this has turned out to be.

And so the woman who said that she was more than willing to appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee to testify about the alleged attack has now changed her mind and says that the F.B.I. should investigate the “incident” before senators even hold a hearing on the allegations...a hearing which was scheduled for this upcoming Monday. Besides the fact that the F.B.I. does not do investigations of this nature, there's nothing like in-our-face stonewalling to delay the Kavanaugh vote until after the midterm election.

The once three ring circus has morphed into the circus of the absurd for now Christine Blasey Ford claims she is being threatened by the far-right and fears for her safety. But I say the only thing this woman is being threatened by is the fact that she will be proven to be a liar for the only witness to the supposed attack...Mark Judge..a witness Ford herself claims was there...says Brett Kavanaugh was not even in the house at the time the attack supposedly took place.

So where does this leave the political circus of the absurd now...Sen. Bob Corker, a Republican from Tennessee said that After learning of the allegation, Chairman @ChuckGrassley took immediate action to ensure both Dr. Ford and Judge Kavanaugh have the opportunity to be heard, in public or private. Republicans extended a hand in good faith. If we don’t hear from both sides on Monday, let’s vote.”

And how right Sen. Corker is for Dr. Christine Blasey Ford never intended to appear anywhere...this was always made-up nonsense to push forward the Democrats anti-Trump agenda and nothing more with Brett Kavanaugh being but collateral damage in a war the Democrats will not win.

Remember the words “Let's Roll”...well here are two more words to remember “Let's Vote.”

Op-ed: 
No Considering, No Hearing, No Vote, No Nothing...Period 
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots on http://www.americanpbn.com

“You’re going to be surprised at how hard we’re going to work to make sure this is on the front pages of all the papers.” 
- Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid on Obama and the Democrats efforts to get Merrick Garland appointed to the Supreme Court

So Obama went and did what we knew he would do...as in the midst of a hotly contested election cycle he went and nominated someone...Chief Judge of the D.C. Circuit Court Merrick Garland...to be his choice to move the Supreme Court to the far left and assure his liberal legacy on the High Court for decades to come. Garland, a former U.S. Attorney and a federal judge since 1997, was appointed to the circuit court by President Bill Clinton... was once considered for a cabinet post and clerked for ubber liberal Justice William Brennan...and this is who Obama hopes will fill the vacancy left by conservative Justice Antonin Scalia's recent death.

And while Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and his fellow Republicans in the Senate have said in no uncertain terms will they even consider, hold hearings, or vote on Garland’s nomination until the next president takes office, they are on shaky ground for the fact is that the GOP hold on the Senate is tenuous at best, what with some Republican senators who are fighting to keep their seats saying that they are at least willing to meet and talk with Garland as a way to fend off the continuing Democratic attacks that they are being unfair. And that includes Senator Ron Johnson from Wisconsin who said, “I’ll meet with the guy, but trust me: We’re not going to let the Supreme Court flip,” adding that, "And this nominee obviously would flip the court, particularly on an issue that is pretty important in Wisconsin." And joining him in those sentiments are Louisiana Senator Bill Cassidy and Senator Mike Rounds of South Dakota...just to name a few.

And so to that affect, we now have Obama's people putting together what's known as 'The Constitutional Responsibility Project' for the sole purpose of advocating for Obama's nominee, and this group has said they will work with MoveOn.org...and we all know about them now don't we...who is planning 'MoveOn Days of Action' that being rallies in states with 'vulnerable' Republican senators to gain support for the nomination. And the Ohio teachers union will be doing what's being called 'Your Job Learn-ins' in an effort to convince Republican Senator Rob Portman to vote for Garland. And in Pennsylvania, unions for nurses and firefighters will hold rallies to try and force Senator Pat Toomey to meet with Garland and back a hearing.

But no matter the advocacy, the fact remains that it's the Senate who holds the trump card on appointees while it's Congress who decides how many justices make up the High Court at any given time by simply voting on it. This means the still for now Republican controlled Congress may either increase, decrease, or keep the number static as per the now number of nine...knowing that eight would split the ideologies of the Court straight down the political middle resulting in nothing being accomplished. But it is imperative that whatever they do they keep said number on the conservative side or it will take generations to undo what a liberal leaning Court can and most likely would do.

And it seems 'We the People' agree on the 'political complexion' of the Court as a recent survey found that a majority of people believed the High Court should be more conservative in its leanings than it being liberal in its leanings...as in wanting this Supreme Court to be a constructionist court where the justices interpret the law as laid down in the Constitution instead of it being a judicially active court who as expected would push a liberal agenda.

And in deciding a nominee to place on the bench it must never be forgotten that the job of the Supreme Court is to invalidate legislation, lower court rulings, or executive actions which, in the High Court's 'considered judgment' conflict with the Constitution. And here is where Obama's nominating Democratic party member Merrick Garland...who he calls a centrist and consensus-builder who in reality is anything but...crosses over into very dangerous grounds for with the Supreme Court being primarily an appellate court...which means that it decides whether lower courts made 'correct decisions' about the law during trials or earlier appeals...they can with the wrong majority cause serious harm or even invalidate our Second Amendment right to "keep and bear arms."

And with Obama still our president...a president who has nothing but contempt for the Second Amendment and for we law-abiding gun owners...our Constitutionally given right to “keep and bear arms” is indeed in serious jeopardy, what with Obama's constant cries and his lobbying for even more gun control than there already is. Now add to that the simple fact that with the wrong balance of political power the Court's decision and Antonin Scalia's majority opinion in the 'District of Columbia v. Heller'...considered by gun rights activists to be the most important Second Amendment case in history...can and most likely would be overturned. And that folks is why Obama is pushing so hard to nominate Merrick Garland...a liberal learning, gun-hating justice post haste. Remember, this decision was the one which forced the District of Columbia...ground zero for Obama...to permit it's 'law-abiding' citizens their right to "keep and bear arms” and was soon followed by 'McDonald v. Chicago,' where Scalia joined with Justice Alito's opinion stating that the individuals right to “keep and bear arms” is a fundamental right and applies to all Americans regardless of where they live.

But what must be noted here is that both decisions were 5-to-4 party line decisions, and while both these decisions allowed our Second Amendment rights to stand as our Founders and Framers intended...much to Obama's chagrin and consternation...know that these most important of rulings can be overturned with a majority shift on the bench as most people forget that the Supreme Court can legally overrule and reverse itself when and if a different case involving the same Constitutional issues as the earlier case...in this instance 'District of Columbia v. Heller'...is reviewed by the Court and seen in a new light because of changing social and political situations...which in turn would have a domino affect on 'McDonald v. Chicago.' And know that Obama has the cases he needs lined up and currently working their way through the lower courts, assuring their presentation to the High Court the minute the majority shifts to the left.

“This is not a good nomination and should not be confirmed,” said Alan Gottlieb of the 'Second Amendment Foundation.'

And Alan Gottlieb is right for Merrick Garland's stance on gun rights is indeed the most compelling reason...but there are others as well...as to why he must never be appointed to the Supreme Court for Garland is not now nor has he ever been an advocate of our Constitutionally given Second Amendment right “to keep and bear arms.” And one only has to look at his record of opposing gun rights as a federal judge...a record which includes his 2007 vote to undo the D.C. Circuit Court decision that struck down Washington D.C.’s strict handgun ban. Voting to undo 'Parker v. District of Columbia'...the predecessor to the 'District of Columbia v. Heller'...Garland was one of four dissenting judges who voted to reconsider the ban on handguns. The other six judges on the appeals court voted not to rehear the case, and the Supreme Court went on to rule in 'District of Columbia v. Heller' that the Second Amendment does indeed guarantee an individual’s right to "keep and bear arms."

And Garland has indicated he might consider revisiting these cases, and know that the four liberal justices currently sitting on the bench would give him the majority power to do so. So much for our Second Amendment rights and Obama knows well that this is exactly how the scenario will play out.
 
Remember too, that 'Parker v. District of Columbia' is not the only time Merrick Garland has ruled against gun rights. In 2000, in NRA vs. Reno, Garland ruled against the National Rifle Association (who said they would lobby against Garland’s appointment) in a lawsuit challenging the Department of Justice's handling of gun purchaser’s information. As per then AG Janet Reno's argument that it was both necessary and allowed under the Brady Act for information to be retained for six months in order to audit the background check system, Garland ruled in her favor saying that it was indeed permissible for the DOJ to keep said records from the National Instant Background Check System (NICS) for the time period stated. And he did so over the NRA’s (rightful) argument that this practice effectively created an illegal national registry...which it indeed would have.

"Judge Garland is the kind of nominee people get when you make deals in Washington, D.C.,” so says Ted Cruz, Republican presidential candidate...and how right he is.

And so the bottom line remains that Barack HUSSEIN Obama would never nominate anyone who was not a leftist as his hatred for the right clouds every call he makes. This makes it imperative that Republicans stand strong and united against anyone Obama nominates as those in the Republican hierarchy must be made to know that it's 'We the People'...that it's we voters...who should be the ones weighing in on that decision by electing a new Republican conservative president who in turn will be the one choosing a new conservative nominee. Remember, the wrong appointee could very well alter the direction of the court and our beloved country for a generation or more.
