Just a reminder of how the lying press and politicians covered the nomination of the leftist shrew. They were able to sell her as a moderate because she hadn’t been as outspoken during her time on the court of appeals as some other possible names, but they knew she’d be a solid vote for the Left.

RE: Clinton Picks Moderate Judge Ruth Ginsburg for High Court

If RBG is moderate, then I’m an extreme left wing radical.

Moderate?

There were a few surprises here and there - in the last term there was actually a 5-4 conservative ruling where she voted with the conservative bloc and I believe Gorsuch was in the dissent, but overall she was probably the most left-wing jurist ever on the Court.

making her the first appointment to the high court by a Democratic administration in 26 years.

They didn't need to appoint liberals, The GOP Presidents did that.

Yes they knew, but so did we. It was an open secret that she was a hard core lefty. Most of that awareness came from looking not at what she did as a judge but rather what she did as a lawyer for the ACLU. Then it was obvious where she stood on just about everything.

Exactly.The Progressive Media (same as the Main Stream Media) has been lying to us for decades.

It is how they controlled the nation. They did it by controlling the information flow, thus the narrative, and by determining what is a scandal and what is not.

LOL,

Spin can’t even describe how they operate.

If you watch the news media in America, you learn NOTHING. Zero general knowledge gained, no actionable information. 24 hours of watching the news will gain nothing regards any tangible actions you should take regards your finances, health, safety and security, travels and hobbies, relationships with others... A complete waste of time.

It makes no difference if you watch the news or Hanna Montana. Even something as simple as the weather or a frigging virus is a political issue that is spun and contorted to a point were it is near comical if it were not for the fact the government regulators and politicians always looking to demonstrate what a great leader they are will make policies, pass laws or regulations based on shoddy science, political show boating, hyperbole...

In the words of Samuel Clemmons: “You are either uninformed, or misinformed.” Your pick.

If you want to be able to fit in and gossip about the same crap everyone else gossips about at the water cooler, watch the news.

The Dems never miss with their SCOTUS picks. They always vote the right way ideologically.

When Clinton nominated her, nobody knew who she was. That’s usually how it is with these nominees from either side. It’s rare for a Court of Appeals judge to achieve notoriety in the general public. She was never a “trailblazer” nor was she a “cultural icon.” All fake news. By the time she was nominated, at least she was qualified, so she had that advantage over Kagan. Moderate? Wow.

That horrible woman was moderate, yes. But then again, so was Hitler, Mao and Stalin.

I guess it depends on how one defines "moderate."

When the media slaps a label on someone, it’s false, and it’s to make us believe it.

ruth buzzy was no moderate. Sex with minors is not moderate.

Moderates don’t advocate for the age of consent to be 12 and yes, the new “fact check” is that she never said that, LOL. Apparently, it escapes them that she CO-AUTHORED the book in which it’s laid out.
