Another Attempt to "Bork" a Supreme Court Nominee

By

      It was in 1987 that the Democratic party, led by Edward Kennedy in the Senate and Dick Durban in the House first initiated the “smear campaign tactic” that we have seen used again this week. The Democrats have used this tactic every time a Supreme Court nominee that they do not philosophically agree with comes up for consideration. That year they used the political stunt and successfully blocked Judge Robert Bork from confirmation. They were so pleased with the results they coined the phrase “ to be borked.” Today, borked is in our national vocabulary and it means literally to get stuck or screwed.

      Since they were initially successful they have attempted to use this tactic ever since. This is something the Honorable Clarence Thomas and others can attest to. The silent mantra is “damn the truth, stop the traditional Constitutionalist” as they cannot move America towards a more Socialist agenda with traditionalists on the highest court in the land. So, with the debate over, the confirmation a given, and the vote about to take place, suddenly, new allegations from, surprise, a Democrat, Christine Ford. Allegations that apparently six FBI investigations missed! Here we go again!

      I won't go over everything that was testified to because the falsehoods are too numerous but I will go over the most obvious. In her initial letter to Sen. Dianne Feinstein(D), Ford claimed that four people besides her were at the party. That number seems to change by the day, but let’s go with her original claim. Those four people were Brett Kavanaugh and his friend Mark Judge, who she says were both in the room along with PJ Smyth and her friend Leland Ingham Keyser. All of them have denied her story under the penalty of felony perjury. It’s even more damning that her friend Leland Ingham Keyser says she has never even met Brett Kavanaugh. Keyser has never met Kavanaugh at all, but she was at the party where Kavanaugh did this? In the letter sent to the Judiciary Committee, Keyser’s attorney said her client is willing to cooperate fully with the FBI’s supplemental investigation into Kavanaugh. “However, as my client has already made clear, she does not know Judge Kavanaugh and has no recollection of ever being at a party or gathering where he was present, with, or without, Dr. Ford,” Keyser’s attorney said. “The simple and unchangeable truth is that she is unable to corroborate it because she has no recollection of the incident in question.” The female witness, Leland Ingham Keyser, who is a Democrat and a lifelong friend of Ford’s, not only doesn’t remember the house party in question, she says she has never met Kavanaugh!

      A friend, Christina King, who has been critical of Trump administration policy on social media and attended the same all-girls prep school stated, “To all media, I will not be doing anymore interviews. No more circus for me. To clarify my post: I do not have first hand knowledge of the incident that Dr. Christine Blasey Ford mentions, and I stand by my support for Christine. That’s it. I don’t have more to say on the subject. Please don’t contact me further.” Every single witness named by Ford says they have no memory of any of this. The same is true of Kavanaugh’s second accuser, Deborah Garcia, also a Democrat, who told her admittedly flimsy story to the New Yorker, but has refused to go under oath. She has been told, by her attorney, that perjury is a criminal offense.

      So, is this another Democratic set-up? Then riddle me this, why was Christine Ford’s Stanford bio page altered — updated 10 days before the hearing? In addition why was Christine Ford’s Stanford bio page was revised seven times this month before her testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee? A little tweaking to get the right slant? What happened was that she mis-represented herself. During testimony Thursday in front of Senate Judiciary Committee Christine Ford identified herself as a “Research Psychologist” at the Stanford School of Medicine. Under California law, as with almost every other state, in order for a person to identify publicly as a psychologist they must be licensed by the California Board of Psychology, a process that includes 3,000 hours of post-doctoral professional experience and passing two rigorous exams. To call oneself a psychologist without being licensed by a state board is the equivalent of a law school graduate calling herself a lawyer without ever taking the bar exam. According to records, Ford is not licensed in the state of California. There are no state records that show Ford is a licensed psychologist. This is another direct hit on Ford’s credibility.

      These series of events go back to the sessions with the professional who was attempting to help save Christina Ford's marriage. Desperation at one's life unraveling can cause a person to “make-up” an event in order to gain sympathy and help stabilize a troubled personal relationship. There are also may in the Democratic party that will go to any means to “save the country” from those on the right. It is also no secret that Dr. Blasey is a registered Democrat who has given money to progressive organizations and campaigns — these facts were reported by the The Washington Post

      Justice Kavanaugh has undergone six FBI background investigations from 1993 to 2018 and none of those investigations unearthed any similar claims. Nor has anyone reported similar allegations to the Republican judiciary members or staff. It is implausible to believe that a man subjected to as much scrutiny as Kavanaugh has been, and whom has received unanimous praise as a man of the highest character, could have assaulted Ford. Conversely, it is entirely consistent with scientific research about memory processes for Ford to suffer from a false memory—something more likely when traumatic events are involved, making her memory malleable and prone to distortion that could be used by others to accomplish an end, their end, by any means.
