Fact check: True.

Это было бы очень неплохо.

3. Law review editors: brace for a tidal wave of legal academic theories supporting judicial minimalism
And just like that, everybody believed in judicial restraint!

4. Teachers Union Boss: Guns in Schools Harm Community with 'Fending for Themselves' Mentality
В этом-то и есть весь вопрос - сначала они научатся самозащите, а там решат, что им не нужны профсоюзы, демократы, Большой Брат и Лучшие Люди Города? Такие мысли надо давить в зародыше.

5. Kavanaugh's confirmation vote is officially more bipartisan than Obamacare.

7. Lawsuit accuses Seneca Valley 'mean girls' of targeting boy with false allegations

9. Dershowitz leads push to seriously punish false accusers: Women who willfully lie should go to prison
How this is even a question? Anybody who knowingly falsely accuses another in a felony crime should go to prison, woman or not.

Правда. Хотя и без твиттера есть полно качественных правых блогов. Я думаю, что если бы правые задумались, забили болт на твиттер (как минимум перестали его читать и отвечать, публиковать анонсы ОК) и вместо этого общались бы в своих блогах и платформах, ничего плохого с ними бы не случилось.

Самое интересное: Cosko is a “Democratic Political Professional & Cybersecurity Graduate Student,”
Небось в каком-нибудь Джорджтауне студент, где учёбу заменяет партийная сознательность. Иначе непонятно, как человек, изучающий cybersecurity, может делать такую херню.

25. The congressional aide accused of doxxing at least three GOP senators allegedly threatened to “leak it all” if a staffer who confronted him told anyone — including the health information and social security numbers of senators’ children.

26. Senate Judiciary Committee Statement Suggests Ford's Legal Team Could Be In Trouble

33. You Idiot Reporters Are Making It Worse
Только они не из идиотизма это делают (хотя многие из них, безусловно, идиоты), а по заказу партии. Большинство прессы нынче - пиар-отдел партии демократов, причём окончательно избавившийся от стыда и совести.

35. CNN: Melania Trump's latest white hat evokes colonialist comparison

Совершенно сюрреальное зрелище - активистка произносит фразу, и биороботы монотонным голосом её хором повторяют. Прям мурашки по коже идут. Где они таких набирают? На кампусах? Это то, что производит система образования теперь?

The website, titled “Make them scared UW,” was first registered in November of last year but reportedly launched in late September of this year by University of Washington students, the Daily UW campus newspaper reports.
Имя сайта вполне обьясняет его цель - не борьба с сексуальным насилием, а запугивание студентов, в основном мужского пола - “это может случиться и с тобой!". Поскольку вся история прочно контролируется ультралевыми, то цель запугивания вполне понятна.

46. Discrimination! Woman Sues Because Drag Queen Job Only Accepted Men

История

51. Until 1916, there were no confirmation hearings for SCOTUS with questions, etc.
The first hearings involved the confirmation of Justice Louis Brandeis in 1916, and it happened because anti-Semites were reluctant to approve a Jewish associate justice.
The first time a nominee took questions from senators was Potter Stewart in 1959, and that was because of concerns by segregationists.
By right, republicans should go nuclear and declare there will be no hearings in this format any more. It is clearly a destructive circus now. Just vote. You can grandstand on CNN if you want to.
