This is such CRAP!

Why are you FALSELY trashing Hardiman?

“On Sunday, right-wing pundit Ann Coulter took a shot at Third Circuit Judge Thomas Hardiman, and accused him of being “subsidized” by liberal philanthropist George Soros.”

“In the link provided by Coulter, the Open Society Foundations is listed as one of the $10,000-$25,000 donors. This organization was founded by Soros. Ayuda Communications Coordinator Laura Trask told Law&Crime in a phone interview that the group gave $30,000 since 2009, usually providing matching gifts, and she noted that the donor list should be updated.

With that in mind, it wouldn’t even qualify as one of Ayuda’s most important donors. And certainly doesn’t mean Hardiman is “subsidized” by Soros. Verizon, for example, is listed in the $25,000-$50,000 slot. Others provided way more. The District of Columbia Government is listed as giving between $500,000 and $1 million, while the Department of Justice is noted as giving at least $2 million. (The group includes grant-givers in their donor list.)

There seems to be no available information to show that Soros played a role in elevating Hardiman, a George W. Bush nominee, to the federal bench in the first place.”

He did pro bono work for poor people. GOOD FOR HIM! Soros was a minor donor to this same charity as were THOUSANDS of others.

This is a BOGUS connection to Soros. This is NO CONNECTION AT ALL to Soros. It’s BULLSHIRT!

AYUDA is a U.S. 501(c)(3) charitable organization.

Hardiman donated his time/services to a charitable organization. THAT’S IT!

If Ben Shapiro gives Hardiman a “D”, I should probably support him.

I’m not a fan of Shapiro...a nasty little never-Trumper.

That said...

I’m pulling for Amy C Barrett (strongest Constitutionalist) and would love to see how the three communist hens would welcome her to SCOTUS.

Ugh!

As a student, Hardiman participated in an exchange program in Mexico, and he later volunteered with the Ayuda immigration legal aid office in Washington, D.C., representing immigrants.[5]

Fake news from the cheap labor, open borders disciples at the WSJ?
Barret is the best of the four rumored finalists. Trump should go for the most conservative judge he can cause the RATS will,oppose whoever he names. I love every single thing I have heard about Barret.

If he picks Hardiman he’s throwing his base under the bus, scared of the Democrats who’ll treat her like a leper. He said during the campaign he’d pick a pro life judge. No one has any idea that Hardiman is pro life. He’s never heard an abortion case or written a word about his thoughts on abortion. His wife and her family are diehard democrats and Trump’s pro abortion judge sister wants him on the court. Nothing else needs to be said about Hardiman. If Trump picks him Roe v Wade is safe because this so called “Catholic” will turn out to be another Souter.

If he's another Souter then the court goes totally Left instead of Right, that's a huge mistake.

[ Maybe Trump will line them all up, and he’ll hand a rose to the one he chooses. ]

He should just to piss off the media!

Wow. Reading this thread, everybody has an issue with somebody. No wonder the left pulls together and we degenerate into a cat fight on everything.

How in the hell did Trump ever get elected?

I admit, though, Trump picked Sessions so he is prone to picking some real losers. Let us trust that he has learned from that.
