Althouse points out that the mysterious incident, in which no charges hve been filed, was reported on by a left leaning reporter of a group who seeks to oust Prosser, the conservative they thought they had rid themselves of.
I agreed with Millhiser that "if it's true Prosser reached a breaking point and started strangling Bradley, he should go." But I wanted to know the whole story. It seemed to me that Lueders had given us "just the snapshot of one hard-to-comprehend instant within the longer event." I was skeptical about the version of the story Lueders had put out, because there had been no arrest and because I found it hard to picture an elderly, dignified man suddenly grabbing a (somewhat less elderly) woman by the neck.Jacobsen applies the Weiner smell test to this incident, wondering why, if this incident was so dramatic as the liberal justice is crying now, she didn't have charges pressed against the nearly 7 decade old Prosser:
In the hours and days after the photo surfaced of a crotch-shot sent from his Twitter account, Weiner claimed that he was hacked, a criminal offense. Yet Weiner refused to file a police report or notify various federal agencies that a crime had taken place. Weiner apparently recognized that lying to the federal government was a crime, and he didn’t want to put himself in that position, so he simply lied to the public, which was not a crime.It's obvious, at this point, that leftists are willing to do anything they can to "win," as they call it, although this kind of "winning" is usually referred to as cheating and, in some cases, illegal.
But Volokh cites a Spectator article that proposes a very clear pattern is emerging on a national level, which is surely being mimicked on a state level:
The attack is being led by left-wing activist groups, talking heads, and a group of liberal congressmen. It is born of unhappiness about the Court's recent and prospective decisions impacting the Obama agenda, as well as paranoia about a corporate cash-fueled, vast right-wing conspiracy headed by the Koch brothers. And it is maintained by cobbling together tenuous suggestions of conflicts and misconduct involving Scalia, Thomas, and Alito in the hopes of creating an ethical cloud.It is surely true that the leftists who are attempting to hijack this country, its industries and its judicial organizations will do anything they can, including lying, bribing, and stalling our democracy in any way they can to get their grimy fingers around the treasure this republic represents.
They're so freaked by the tea parties that even Van Jones, who is trying to start a populist liberal tea party movement, which, of course, cannot be replicated.
The right needs to be vigilant, to remain on top of the falsehoods, and donate to causes that support the patriotic causes of this country.
Just as the Al Gores of the world have harped repeatedly that the 2000 election was illegitimate, beginning with the repeated claim that the Supreme Court "appointed" Bush president rather than his having won the election by every recount (even the LSM's recount), these people will stop at nothing, including tearing down confidence in every institution of this country.
Fortunately most people in this country aren't willing to accept this bilge.
