Thanks for the ping

Clinton Admin lets 2 guys off while Pickering sends one to jail and then the Dems lie about what really happen

I have a few words I'd like to say to the Dems ... but Jim has rules

This needs widespread dissemination IMO!

Don't bother. Judge Pickering's opponents don't oppose him because they are unaware of the facts-they oppose him in spite of the facts.

We, who deal in fact, logic and argument are constantly submarined by the left, for whom fact and logic are relative terms, useful only insofar as they produce a desired result.

They are not opposed to Pickering because he is not a good guy. THEY ALREADY KNOW HE IS A GOOD GUY.

They are not opposed to Pickering because of bad decisions he has rendered. THEY ALREADY KNOW HIS VERDICTS ARE UNIMPEACHABLE.

They are not opposed to Pickering because he lacks judicial temperament. THEY ALREADY KNOW HIS JUDICIAL DEMEANOR IS EXCELLENT.

It is a waste of breath to try to convince Schumer et al of the facts which they already know.

Our energy should be devoted to the same vigorous political combat that the other side excels at.

Ask yourself this: When President Xlinton nominated the radical left activist Ruth Bader Ginsburg to the Supreme Court (not a Circuit Court, mind you-to the freaking UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT!!!)-how much time was spent in floor debate and how many Republicans voted against her?

How come you don't hear them complain about the Reno Justice Department letting the other two off with a misdemeanor? How come?

Because THEY don't EVER betray those who fight for socialism, and THEY NEVER fail to attack those who oppose it.

By any means necessary.

Unbelievable -- August 03, 1993 - Confirmed by the Senate by Yea-Nay Vote. 96-3. Record Vote No: 232.

Thank you for this post. It's so important for us to have FACTS to refute the Dims half truths or outright lies.
I read someone is sending this to Schumer. I'll send it to Kerry.

Yes, I know. It was a rhetorical question.

Approved without objection in the Judiciary Committee, no floor debate.

Don't waste the postage.

They know the facts already. The most important fact they know is which side they are on.
